While Heaven Wept

[edgeofthorns]

Will someone please pay attention to this band! I received their latest CD, Vast Oceans Lachrymose, in the mail yesterday from The End Records. I have to say, this sounds like a band that will appeal to many of you on this board. Take a look and listen...

Features the former singer of Altura..... I have this in the pile to be listened to yet. The samples sound great, though.

This is in the running for album of the year along with Snowfall...

Band rules. Album rules.

Good thing someone smart suggested them for you, EoTs

I LOVE "Of Empires Forlorn". I can't believe this album is finally out. How long has it been in the making? 5 years? 6?

 

[edgeofthorns]

Plenty of us pay attention to them.

I like VOL, but it doesn't touch the other two albums.

I don't think they get much mention, if any at all, aside from the doom threads though. I've sampled the album before this one and it sounds quite different than the latest. I believe the new one will appeal to more of the prog/power crowd.

Honestly, I can't remember whom brought my attention to them, but I know it was while we were discussing the doom genre. Like I stated above, I think this new one goes beyond that and more into prog/power territory.

Have heard a lot of good things about this one. Will most likely be on my next order with Laser's Edge.

always sounded more euro power metal to me, should easily interest everyone on this board

I really like Empires and was skeptical when they got a different singer for the new one. I've heard some samples and I really prefer Tom's voice to the new guy. I still might pick it up and give it a try though.

PHENOMENAL album. I'm not sure why it gets lumped in with doom. It's an epic and, excuse the cheesy term, majestic album. Fans of metal owe it to themselves to hear this.

 

[TheLongshot]

Nice to see the album finally out. I kinda knew it was coming for a while now from the Brave folks and I look forward to getting it.

 

[the rhythm]

Because their older stuff was doom.

I've heard Of Empires Forlorn and it sounded the same. Is there another album that is doom?

Listen to the second track from the new one...the dude can flat out sing!

That's pretty much what I'm getting at with my initial post. VOL isn't a doom album, but more of a progressive power album. With that said, I really like their doom tracks from their previous albums that are on their MySpace page.

Read the band's lyrics . . they're doom. ULTRA BRUTALLY DEPRESSING doom

 

[Yippee38]

Even though OEF has doom lyrics, it doesn't sound like doom to me. I'm no expert on doom though. It sounds more like melodic, progressive metal.

 

[nomisofsiman]

I just don't get it. I'm a huge doom fan and a huge euro power fan, but I just find this band bland. To each his own I suppose.

 

[TychoCelchu]

I love the new singer. He fits the band like a glove. If I didn't know ahead of time that it was a different guy, I would've just figured it was Tom with a few more years of age.

You have made much, much smarter statements than this.
