While Heaven Wept "Vast Oceans Lachrymose" pre-orders at Cruz Del Sur Music EStore

Taken from the Cruz Del Sur Music website:

Since 1989, While Heaven Wept have not only contributed to the very definition of Epic Doom Metal, but with each release have continued to push the boundaries of the genre and in fact have developed a sound uniquely their own; incorporating elements of Baroque, Romantic, 20th century Classical, Cosmic Music, Dark Progressive, Darkwave, Doom, and various styles of metal their sound is very distinctive, very different, yet strangely familiar. Though mainman Tom Phillips is primarily responsible for the compositions, the rest of the members' diverse musical backgrounds contribute heavily to the end results; the fact is, the current line-up is something of an underground "supergroup" including past and present members of: Altura, Solstice (UK), Twisted Tower Dire, Revelation, October 31, and Brave among many others. With 2009's "Vast Oceans Lachrymose" While Heaven Wept offer their most diverse release to date, containing all of the hallmarks of the "WHW sound" but the songs are far more progressive and aggressive than anything they've released previously. Clearly a natural evolution from their critically acclaimed 2003 album "Of Empires Forlorn," it is obvious WHW have no intention of stagnating musically nor playing music that isn't anything less than sincere - no Doom for the sake of Doom here.

Claws - The Funeral Barge

Full-coloured jacket / 3mm spine / logo stamped by metallic foil / 2-sided coloured insert sheet

Death Metal was meant to be underground and this is what CLAWS is all about...what lies beneath is where Death Metal TRULY lives!

CLAWS started in early August of 2008 when Lasse wanted to start a Death Metal band highly influenced by the cult Swedish death metal band Crematory from the early 90's, as well as other rotting and cryptic sounding bands such as Derketa, Nihilist, and Incantation. This style of death metal is very rare today and Lasse (HOODED MENACE, ACID WITCH, VACANT COFFIN, PHLEGETHON) felt he could have fun writing some very raw, heavy, and utterly haunting songs in this way!

pressing info: 100 blue / 400 black

Released by Doomentia records
