Waterland is a power/melodic/symphonic metal band that emerged in 2007 as a project by the guitar player from the now extinguished band Oratory, Miguel Gomes.

Waterland had the collaboration of the singers Marco Alves ex-Oratory and Bruno Gomes both on vocals. The promo CD, self-titled WATERLAND, features 15 songs of heavy metal, each one of them a part of the story of Waterland.

In 2010 the band recorded 'VIRTUAL TIME', as the second chapter of the saga.

António Silva joined the band in 2009 in time to participate in the recording of this album. Waterland had also the collaboration of Manuel Melo from radio show “Sinfonias de Aço” in all narrations.

In June 2010 the video clip for the song "Destiny II" was recorded and in September the second video clip, featuring the song 'Queen of Light', came to life. Tiago Moreira (Drums) and Tiago Alexandre (Bass) joined the band during this period.

Belisa Campinho joined the band to fill in for vocals in March 2011. Paulo Loureiro also becomes the male vocalist for a few months.

In 2012 the band started recording the next album which is now released.

Paulo Pires who started as a guest act in the recording of this new recording became a full time member in July 2013.

Meanwhile Tiago Alexandre departed the band, and Ivan Batista was chosen to take his place.

In 2014, Belisa Campinho left and Miriam Dias became Waterland's female voice, completing the band line up.
