The band started in 1999 in Palma de Mallorca, with Samuel (guitars), Josep (vocals) giving the first steps and completed the actual line-up with Xavi (drums), Kike (keyboards), Sandro (guitars) and Toni Mainez (bass).
With the first finished songs they recorded a promo cd called Prelude in winter of 2000. It was their presentation letter, written with a Gothic-Doom style and with a very good acceptance in the underground press.
After few years or intense work, the band worked with new songs, and they decided to record it at Ona Digital Studios (Mallorca), and mastered at Finnvox Studios (Finland) by Mika Jussila. The final result was a new Cd called Fragments, self released in October 2005, sounding more solid, and get also transmit a dark, heavy and melancholic sound.
Fragments has obtained excellent reviews in several Metal Magazines, and HELEVORN has been called one of the best Doom Metal bands in Spain (Hell Awaits Mag or Metal Hammer), signing a deal with Goi Music to distribute the album in Spain.
The band was asked to appear on December Songs a tribute to Katatonia, released in December 12th 2006 by Northern Silence Productions.
HELEVORN was touring around Spain since November 2005 in cities like Madrid, Valencia, Alicante, Burgos, Valladolid, Guadalajara and many more, supporting bands like Dismember, Avulsed
In November 2007 the band toured with Swallow the Sun in their first Spanish tour including one gig in Portugal.
Helevorn had the privilege to play at Dutch Doom Days 6 in Rotterdam with Pagan Altar, Esoteric, Serpentcult
The track Nobody is waiting appears in SPAIN KILLS, the biggest spanish compilation ever executed. Released by the label Xtreem Music in November 2008 and consist of 10 CD's separated by genre with 174 spanish bands envolved. Helevorn is in the Vol. 09: Doom Metal, with bands like Autumnal, Golgotha, Moho, Eternal Cry, Ephemeral Dusk
2009 means the recording of our second studio album Forthcoming Displeasures, recorded in March 2009 at Urban Studios in Palma de Mallorca, produced by Jens Bogren and Johan Ornborg, also producers of bands like KATATONIA, OPETH, DRACONIAN, PARADISE LOST, etc. taking an important step in their musical style, emphasizing a more intense and heavy sound, being more forceful, without a doubt it will be the Doomest work that HELEVORN has never done. The album artwork its being made by Robert Høyem (www.attheends.com), a young Norwegian artist with lots of potential, who knows perfectly how to transmit Helevorn's new concept.
