WHILE HEAVEN WEPT to play HAMMER OF DOOM III

WHILE HEAVEN WEPT have just confirmed their presence to the 3rd edition of the HAMMER OF DOOM festival taking place in Würzburg, Germany on the 6th of Feb, 2010.

Headlined by SAINT VITUS, the festival promises to be one of the most remarkable live events of the beginning of the new year featuring other great Doom acts such as GRIFTEGARD (SWE), ATLANTEAN KODEX (GER), and THE WIZAR’D (AUS) plus others that will be announced shortly.

The release of WHILE HEAVEN WEPT’s long-awaited new album “Vast Oceans Lachrymose” has created much of a stir in the metal community, with enthusiastic reactions both from medias and fans.

“VOL” has soon been described as one of the year’s highlights, causing much expectation for its release on the 3rd of November in US/Canada and on the 6th of November in Europe, via Cruz Del Sur Music.

The tickets for the festival will be first on sale at the Hammer Of Doom II, taking place on the 17th of October 2009.
 
When will tickets be available to the general public? I'll actually be in Europe at that time and no way will I miss this!

Tickets will be available on this weekends HOD II, but no info about general sales schedule. But you can drop an email to organizers ticket shop: bestellung AT keep-it-true.de.

Having listened to the first new track on While Heaven Wept's myspace ("The Furthest Shore"), it sounds like they're tending towards power metal. It's like epic power-infused doom metal.
 
For the Mournful Congregation fans here, whats the general consensus on The June Frost? Just curious, I've been playing it quite a bit as of late. My thoughts, it took me a while to fully appreciate it. My main problem is "Decent of the Flames". That song does nothing for me at all, and "The Februar Winds" is pretty useless. But other than that I now love it.

Meh, I don't really like it as much as their previous stuff. I really hate the title track, useless wank that doesn't fit the mood of the rest of their material at all.
