While writing and recording songs for ‘Revolution’, Gabrielle de Val’s next solo album, it soon became apparent that some of these songs were coming out heavier than the AOR/Melodic Rock that the group had previously been doing, especially those that Gabrielle and Bruce Mee wrote together with Tommy Denander: there were Symphonic Rock songs, Power Metal songs and even just straight up Heavy Metal.
The solution seemed clear. Maintain the style for Gaby’s solo albums but create an actual band project for Häven. It had always bothered the group that her backing band live didn’t get any recognition on her solo albums. The guys are now part of this bigger project. And the cherry on top? Tommy Denander was happy to join the band as well, making for quite a brilliant line-up:
Gabrielle de Val (Lead vocals), Tommy Denander (Guitar), Gustavo Martín (Guitar), José Luis Gallera (Bass), Isabel Fernández (Keyboards), Robert van der Laar (Drums)
Gabrielle de Val comments: “I’m genuinely moved, because Häven feels like the natural outcome of everything we’ve been building over the past year with Tommy Denander and my live band. It wasn’t planned or calculated, it simply formed on its own, shaped by the music and all the emotion we’ve shared together.”
Tommy adds: “This grew together naturally through all the amazing and creative work we've done. I'm very happy to be involved here.”
It was de Val that came up with the name Häven (pronounced ‘Heaven’), the English word with the ä meant to demonstrate the coming together of the English/German/Swedish core writing team triumvirate.
The album cover and logo has been designed by award-winning artist Sebastian Kozak (Ten, Crown of Thorns etc).
