In distant galaxies

While Heaven Wept currently enjoying its 25th anniversary, being lazy lie Tim Phillips and his men but definitely not, have nevertheless created with Suspended At aphelion a new little masterpiece. Who knows the predecessor Fear Of Infinity in 2011 knows that the days of hard and heavy Doom are gone, but the Americans have courage for further development, it proved really eh quite early, so it's not surprising that one here consistently goes his way.

While all albums of While Heaven Wept Gesamtkunstwerke as referred to Tom Philips itself, but for this release the men and ladies have been more trouble than usual, because the first time you go a universal concept for and delivers to over 40 minutes a song of epic proportions, divided into eleven-fitting parts that work quite well alone, but only just in the package and after several passes realize their full potential. With Introspection album starts fairly quiet and makes it quite exciting because rarely holds an intro in nearly four minutes, the level before you I is the intensity increases abruptly with the longest track of the album Icarus And and in addition devout singing of Rain Irving as long can you really pull words in length? with some hearty screams surprised. The atmosphere is terrific and While Heaven Wept draw an immediately under the spell and take a you on a musical journey. With Ardor it is quiet again afterwards, but the singing and worn the quiet strumming and subtle piano sounds immediately go under the skin. In contrast, Trevor Schrotz skin it every now and again violently in the skins and can even blast beats not stop. The Doom plays only a subordinate or rudimentary role, but is not completely gone, because so many more viscous part and the elongated vocals definitely come from this genre, though the markzermürbenden riffs how, for example, of Of Empires Forlorn not know and loved missing.

While Heaven Wept go one step further and offer their very own version of the Progressive Epic Metals with a lot of heart, soul and courage for further development. The nice thing about Suspended At aphelion, that tells a profound story is that you can find new details and facets here again. Whether that as the name suggests heartbreaking Heartburst, the more upbeat, intensity hardly be surpassed Indifference Turned Paralysis or inspiring with strings Retrospectus that emits a with a unique feel, know the Americans how to write touching songs that you always again like to hear. The successful orchestration blends perfectly with the metallic elements together and not infrequently makes goose bumps.

Fans of the first hour have here, of course, to rethink how already on the last work, something, but if you approach to open Suspended At aphelion, then you will experience a beautiful and profound musical journey full of feelings and emotions. The album takes some time, but it is worth it promised to devote to him.
