Helevorn has been depressing the world with emotionally-wrought doom/dark metal since 1999.

The band was formed in 1999 to follow in the footsteps of bands like Tristania and Theatre of Tragedy, who were then redefining Gothic Metal by adding electronic elements. However, we wanted to keep the classic ’90s style, and in 2001, we released our first demo, Prelude, as an introduction to the underground scene.
After our female vocalist left, we decided to continue with male vocals only, while maintaining the songs created up to that point. This led to our first album, Fragments (2005), which carried on with a Gothic style while incorporating some Doom/Death influences. This album marked the beginning of significant recognition in Europe, including a track on a Katatonia compilation released by the German label Northern Silence. Known for its blend of melodic and guttural vocals alongside dark atmospheric instrumentation, it allowed us to tour with Swallow The Sun in Spain and Portugal. In 2006, we signed with the Spanish label Goi Music, which handled the album’s distribution.

After several years of silence and songwriting, we released Forthcoming Displeasures (2010), recorded in Mallorca with renowned international producer Jens Bogren and Johan Örnborg (Opeth, Katatonia, Paradise Lost, Draconian). The band introduced a harder, darker, and heavier sound, moving more firmly into Doom/Death Metal and establishing itself in the international scene. The album was released by the respected Russian label Solitude Productions, highly regarded in the global underground.
This album gave us the opportunity to perform at festivals like Wave Gotik Treffen in Germany and Devilstone Open Air in Lithuania.
Seeking a strong musical step forward, the band took a year to write new material, resulting in Compassion Forlorn (2014), which reflected a deep compositional maturity and explored themes of human decay and suffering. With this work, Helevorn established itself as a key reference in the genre in Europe, touring with iconic bands like Saturnus and Draconian.

In 2019, we released Aamamata, an album addressing the humanitarian crisis in the Mediterranean, blending our signature melodic doom with epic influences and incorporating purely Mediterranean instruments like the bouzouki and lute. This release led to our first North American tour, performing from coast to coast in Canada, and appearing at major festivals in Romania (Metal Gates) and returning to Slovakia (Gothoom Open Air).

In 2020, the band faced challenging times, losing four out of six members, including two founding members. Between that year and 2022, four new, younger musicians with diverse influences joined, and the band concentrated on creating a new album. This record, Espectres, our fifth studio album, was released in September 2024 with MEUSE MUSIC RECORDS and is considered one of our most personal and mature works.
The band is currently working on what will be its 25th-anniversary tour in 2025.
