I know I'm biased, as I'm a co-sponsor, but While Heaven Wept was every bit amazing as I hoped they would be. I only wish they had another half hour to add some more tunes to their set. Rain was full of power and emotion, Tom and Scott were spot-on with their harmonies and chugging rhythms, Jim's playing was impressively smooth, Trevor was precision personified, and Michelle and Jason provided a beautiful backdrop and stunning backing vocals. I understand the few complaints about the number of people on stage without a whole lot going on, but there are some rather subtle key parts that required two keyboardists. Besides, all of the material was written with only one keyboardist in the group (in some cases, no full-time keyboardist), and Tom's future plans are said to really bring out the sound of a seven-piece band. That said, I loved the set, and I hope they made some new fans playing at the fest.
Stay metal. Never rust.
