While Heaven Wept (often abbreviated as WHW) is an epic doom metal band based in Dale City, Virginia, USA. The primary writer and overall engine of the band is mainman Tom Phillips. Their melodic, classically influenced style could be compared to bands such as Solitude Aeturnus and Solstice (the latter of which Tom Phillips is a former member); however, 2003’s acclaimed Of Empires Forlorn saw the band branching out into a variety of metal and progressive styles. This trend continues on their 2009 album, Vast Oceans Lachrymose.
While Heaven Wept’s lyrics have traditionally dealt with sorrowful matters, namely, personal loss and despondency.

Fans of old While Heaven Wept, I really recommend you this song, from the french atmospheric doom metal band Angellore. You will probably like it... Please, give it a try! Angellore - I Am The Agony.

Is it just me, or does Hour Of Reprisal have black metal riffing at 2:49? Absolutely my favorite part of the song, however you'd label it.

I wish they would have growling in more songs than just Of Empires Forlorn! Added a lot of flavor.

Newest album is EPIC, love the fact that Unplenitude was brought forward to an album; it deserves it. now to the comment by MusicMagic77... it's fair to say that they have changed from their roots (i've heavily listened to the "into the wells of sorrow" demo with harsh vocals so i know their old stuff!) but to say it's much better than "Fear of Infinity" is pretty harsh, it's brought back the epic doomy feel of "Of Empires Forlorn" but has continued with some styles from "Vast Oceans Lachrymose". IMHO i'd say FOI joins OEF to VOL so now their transition seems complete.

http://www.leavethehall.co.uk/reviews/albums/while-heaven-wept-fear-of-infinity/ Here's a review of Fear of Infinity. More accessible than their previous releases, yet offering enough depth and engagement to keep you coming back for more, Fear Of Infinity is a significant step forward for While Heaven Wept, demonstrating again why they are the kings of pomp and circumstance and one of Leave The Hall‘s firm favourites.

The old band and the old albums were much better than the newest album. The problem is, the young listeners don't know them. They have no basis for comparison...

I'm not usually one to like this type of vocals (or overly proggy music), but FOI is an undeniably good record. I am totally surprised I am liking it so much :)
