WHILE HEAVEN WEPT RELEASES DETAILS OF NEW LIVE ALBLUM
Virginia doomsters WHILE HEAVEN WEPT have sent this update on a new live release
entitled "Triumph:Tragedy:Transcendence – Live At The Hammer Of Doom Festival."
FROM WHILE HEAVEN WEPT AND EARSPLIT PR:
Virginia’s epic doom metal unit WHILE HEAVEN WEPT have this week put the finishing touches on their massive upcoming live album Triumph:Tragedy:Transcendence – Live At The Hammer Of Doom Festival. On the live release coming together, frontman Tom Phillips states: “The performance features an equal balance of material from all of our albums, and features a good amount of improvisation ala Rainbow circa 1976, making this a very special release indeed.”
