WHILE HEAVEN WEPT BIOGRAPHY
Slow, heavy epic doom metal with clean vocals. Their album 'Sorrow of the angels' picks up where Candlemass left off with 'Nightfall' and is a true must for Candlemass fans. Older work shows a more death/doom face and even encorperates grunts (when nessary the band still very, very sporadically uses grunts on newer work as well, like in one track on 'Of Empires Forlorn'). Newer work sees the band growing to extreme musical height, composing some of the most epic and grand sounding Doom-metal around on the face of the earth.
Their upcoming album, Vast Oceans Lachrymose, will be the most epic doom they´ve made up to date, according to the band itself.
True fans of Solitude Aeternus and Candlemass have something completely new and exciting to look forward to.
