Virginia's long running epic metal legends are commemorating their 25th year with the release of their sixth full length album »Suspended At Aphelion« via Nuclear Blast this October. Today the band releases the third album trailer, based on the lyrics and the concept of »Suspended At Aphelion«. Check out the clip here: Commented guitarist, keyboardist & vocalist Tom Philips: “In the end, it's ALWAYS about the music... and in the case of WHILE HEAVEN WEPT, it's getting more and more difficult to describe without using 50 adjectives! There's no question that »Suspended At Aphelion« is truly a natural progression from whence we came, yet all of our initial influences from a quarter century ago remain intact, thus this album is truly the embodiment of all that we've ever been as well as a representation of where we are today. It's all in there...the twists and turns, mazes of time and key signature changes, intense contrasts of dark and light (or dark and darker)...and most importantly, sincere emotions conveyed with all the heart and spirit that we have. That said, it's important to understand that »Suspended At Aphelion« is an entity unto itself...the focus was on subtlety, maturity, and especially dynamics; this one was never about bludgeoning people a la »The Drowning Years« or »Sorrow Of The Angels«, rather it's true impact is revealed via peeling back the complex layers over the course of subsequent listens - there's SO much happening on this album that may not even be obvious first time through. There really is music moving in every direction simultaneously through the majority of the album...it's contrapuntal in nature, and harmonically, it is from another universe seldom heard outside of contemporary classical music. Repeated journeys through »Suspended At Aphelion« will truly yield the greatest rewards - and I can't emphasize enough just how important it is to take in the entire thing...to say there are no "singles" on this album would be an understatement!” More on »Suspended At Aphelion«: Trailer #1: http://youtu.be/MCADIdgye1A Trailer #2: http://youtu.be/V7AQCGfbvoA while-heaven-wept_suspended-at-aphelion.jpg?x=520 The cover art for »Suspended At Aphelion« was once again created by Gustavo Sazes (MORBID ANGEL, ARCH ENEMY etc), and three separate audio masters were optimized for LP, CD, and digital download formats. »Suspended At Aphelion« is undoubtedly their most ambitious, epic, and progressive album so far featuring a single track divided into 11 parts, performed by the entire »Fear Of Infinity« line-up as well as several esteemed guests, including FATES WARNING alumni drummer Mark Zonder and co-founding guitarist Victor Arduini - uniting two eras of FATES WARNING for the first time ever. Enjoy the lyric video for ‘Icarus And I’ here: http://youtu.be/nxCeC3Mxqxw »Suspended At Aphelion« tracklisting: I: Introspectus II: Icarus And I III: Ardor IV: Heartburst V: Indifference Turned Paralysis VI: The Memory Of Bleeding VII: Souls In Permafrost VIII: Searching The Stars IX: Reminiscence Of Strangers X: Lifelines Lost XI: Retrospectus WHILE HEAVEN WEPT also reunited with producer/engineer Kevin "131" Gutierrez (RAVEN, DECEASED, DYSRHYTHMIA) at Assembly Line Studios for the recording of »Suspended At Aphelion« 12 years after creating their classic »Of Empires Forlorn« album together, solidifying an already strong team for their most epic of epics! »Suspended At Aphelion« will be released by Nuclear Blast on October 24th (EU) and November 18th (USA).

    • Sacred Reich "Awakening"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

    • Overkill "The Wings of War"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious.
