Continuing the A-Z Challenge from Arlee at Tossing it Out
Today is W - While Heaven Wept
Today is W - While Heaven Wept
During this A-Z challenge, I've tried to turn you on to new and unique media. As we have now reached W, I would like to give your ears a treat and talk about a spectacular metal release by the band "While Heaven Wept." Their latest effort "Vast Oceans Lachrymose" is an amazing aural journey. This conceptual album tells the story of a young man setting off to sea in search of treasure and fame but, in the end, finding only despair. Clocking in at a lean 40 minutes, this is truly an amazing piece of work for metal fans. The music travels the gambit from blistering and fierce to achingly beautiful. In fact, I can honestly say that it is the most beautiful metal I have ever heard. I know that seems like a paradox, but the band achieves something that few bands of the genre have been able to accomplish.
If you are a metal fan and would like a truly unique experience, then I urge you to check out this amazing disc by "While Heaven Wept."
I don't really listen to Metal, but this sounds kind of cool. I may have to check it out.

I love the description; I like some
ReplyDeletemetal bands! I will definitely check this one out~ Thank you!
Not a`metal fan, but Wow! the title and cover are off the hook!
ReplyDeleteSounds very cool to me. I tend to get my music in small doses, but I LOVE music that is a story, and this sounds like it is, and I am a closet metalhead from back in the day (people my age from small towns didn't have a lot of options, but it still holds a fond spot for me, even if my husband mocks me)--Any place to hear it online, or do I need to buy it?
ReplyDeleteArlee, you bet I will!
ReplyDeleteWatery Tart, they don't have any actual videos, but some of their music is on YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qd80yegMpc
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting even though I'm not a big metal fan. I lean towards lighter stuff. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard it, but I, for sure, love the artwork. It sounds fascinating.

Not a metal fan, but the cover is awesome. Almost makes me want to buy the album only because the cover conjures such imagery.
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Glynis!!!
