HEAVENWOOD guitarist Bruno Silva‘s 213 Studios in Oporto, Portugal has suffered a tragic fire.

Bruno went to the hospital regarding minor skin burns but everything is fine with him for the moment, although he´s still affected psychologically due to this tremendous tragedy!
It´s real sad news but the most important of all at the end is Bruno’s life as he was on the studio when the fire started. All the studio equipment was destroyed by the fire including Heavenwood equipment.
Heavenwood will stop the pre-production and composition sessions of the fifth album for a period of time, but the band intend to play live and support Bruno Silva to conceive and develop his Studio back from the beginning! We count with you too!”
