Other great challenge is the support from media, our country never supported the metal music, even so we got many things like magazine´s cover, video-clip on MTV, our music is abroad at common radios… Really we don´t have what to claim, because here in Brazil we have the respect from the Gothic Metal music fans and they see us as one of the few groups which represents our country in this kind of music.
Since the beginning we always faced many challenges, firstly because Brazil is a tropical country, culturally is a kind of music almost outside of our reality, but at same time, we have disillusions and other dark moments in our lives as every person has in any place from the world. ZEPHYR: Are you originally from Brazil? How challenging is to form a gothic band in Brazil? Dewindson Wolfheart: Yes, we are from Brazil, we live in São Paulo, but Timo (one of the guitar players) is from Finland however he lives here in São Paulo as well. Dewindson Wolfheart: Firstly, thank you so much for your support and this opportunity to introduce a little bit more from our music to other fans. For me is a great joy share with you this interview. ZEPHYR: Hails Dewindson & welcome to Zephyr’s Interviews. This great band have been around since 1997 and shared stages with famous gothic bands like Moonspell, Tiamat and Theater of Tragedy…between many others. Our guest today is Dewindson Wolfheart, vocals of one of the best representation of the Brazilian Gothic Metal music: RAVENLAND. “…And A Crow Brings Me Back” is a 15-song, 60-minute dark, Gothic journey of a full-length by Ravenland, that fans of Moonspell and old school Goth will surely love.For the 1st time we have the opportunity to make an interview direct from Brazil. The songs also have a darkly romantic quality to them. The CD also includes a video of one of the best songs, “End of Light” is a pretty cool looking clip that was filmed in a castle and shows the band performing the song. Musically and lyrically the songs on “…And A Crow Brings Me Back” paint a definite conceptual picture that certainly holds the listeners attention and makes for an interesting listen. The two vocalists are split pretty evenly throughout the album. Wolfheart are very similar to Fernando Ribeiro of Portuguese Goth legends Moonspell and Camilla boasts a powerful and dramatic voice. Ravenland features the duel male/female vocals of Dewindson Wolfheart and Camilla Raven. They have beforehand released a number of demos and EPs, but “…And A Crow Brings Me Back” is their second full-length effort. Even though it has been 13-years since the band first got together, they are only now releasing their debut full-length.
It is hard to believe that Brazil’s Ravenland have been in existence since 1997.
