While Heaven Wept
While Heaven Wept (often abbreviated as WHW) are an American epic doom metal band based in Dale City, Virginia. The primary writer and overall engine of the band was 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, and on their 2011 album, Fear of Infinity. While Heaven Wept's lyrics have dealt with sorrowful matters, namely personal loss and despondency.
Genre: epic-doom, progressive-doom
