Sounds Like: A bit about the music... Hevein music is like a coin. On one side, double bass drumming and thrash riffs dominate. And on the other side, balancing the whole are beautiful melodies created by Violin and Cello.

Some Hevein songs are fast, intense, but at the same time melodic and strong. While some songs are slower, rich in atmosphere with clean vocals dominating. The key element has always been to get good vibes from the music.

Not content with a certain genre, mixing rock, death, thrash and atmosphere, this is a fresh sounding band.
