"Creation necessitates equal destruction in a contrary sense, and therefore the Mem designates all the regenerations that have sprung from previous destruction, all transformations, and consequently death, regarded as the passage from one world to the other." — Papus

"Death", the fresh offering from Portuguese Heavenwood, marks the opening movement of The Tarot Of The Bohemians – Part II while simultaneously echoing the final breath of its predecessor. Out today, and functioning as both an ending and a rebirth, the track embodies the symbolic transition between cycles, worlds, and states of being.

Deeply rooted in the esoteric language of the Tarot and inspired by the transformative symbolism of the Major Arcana, "Death" explores destruction not as a conclusion but as an essential passage towards regeneration. Within the conceptual framework of the 22 Tarot cards, the song represents movement, metamorphosis, and the inevitable crossing from one spiritual or emotional plane into another.

"This piece represents the beginning of Part II, in the same way that it also reflects the ending of the previous album (Part I), while not forgetting that this same theme and concept, when framed within the whole and within the 22 cards of the Major Arcana of the Tarot, also represents a passage", states Heavenwood mastermind Ricardo Dias dos Santos.

Balancing solemn melancholy with cinematic intensity, "Death" channels Heavenwood's unmistakable gothic and dark metal identity into a deeply allegorical composition — a threefold reflection of the Past, Present, and Future, where memory, transformation, and transcendence converge into a single ritualistic experience.

The Tarot Of The Bohemians – Part II is poised to see the light of day on 12 June under the aegis of Mighty Music.
