Reviews and Quotes:
8.5/10 - Rock Hard Magazine #144 (Germany)
8/10 - Terrorizer Magazine #66 (UK)
10/10 - Monolith Fanzine (Greece)
"Romantic, sensitive, emotional, doomed, painful, esoteric, depressive. I know all these are not enough to describe While Heaven Wept-Sorrow of the angels album, but are able to give you a taste for what this album is about." - Children Of Doom (Greece)
"This album''s sad quality is beautiful in every way, and the atmosphere is crushing. While Heaven Wept have created a CD which is moving, emotional, and sorrowful. This is the death of love. Walk into eternity''s embrace and feel the Sorrow Of The Angels" - Ill Literature Magazine #17 (US)
"Tom Phillips'' performance on "Sorrow of the Angels" is truly awesome. The music is a bit good too, sounding not unlike Candlemass singles played on 33 rpm laced with funereal keys of doooom ala My Dying Bride at their loose-turned best. Lyrically things are about as bleak as you can get this side of suicide, and I wouldn''t suggest playing the disc if you''ve just broken up with your girl/boy. Marvelous." - Terrorizer Magazine #66 (UK)
"One of the brighter prospects within the small but radiant Epic Doom Metal scene, While Heaven Wept have been going long enough to truly earn themselves the veteran tag. Though there have only been a handful of releases throughout the Virginians'' ten-year history, these have been raised to cult status within the fanatically supportive Doom community. This latest slice of audiobliveon, "Sorrow Of The Angels," was recently released by Italy''s Eibon Records and is - as we reported last issue - "a gargantuan Doom Metal beast" of epic proportions." - Terrorizer Magazine #67 (UK)
"A rare find in today''s metal universe, "Sorrow Of The Angels" is one of the truly unique and awe-inspiring examples of grandiose epic doom metal! The production is near flawless with emphasis on the magnificently heavy guitar sound coming through loud and clear like a CB radio out of "Smokey and The Bandit." Long, long songs that really suck you down into the overall bleak and depressing atmosphere. You can truly feel the pain and anguish of the band the further you get into this disc. Classical guitar interludes, stormy sounds of thunder, Dream Theater/Fates Warning-ish parts, keyboards for atmosphere, melodic clean vocals, and most important - slow plodding doom metal - these are the elements you''ll find on your journey with the angels." - John Perez, Solitude Aeternus/Brainticket Records (US)
"Get this album for long, quiet, lonely winter evenings!" - Legion Magazine (Russia)
"Pure doom metal with personality, as only very few can offer us these days. Slow and depressive riffs that interchange with power/progressive breaks, and all the while imposing keyboards provide the proper atmosphere. Such dark and suffocating atmosphere is accentuated by the heartbreaking voice of Tom Phillips, which is an inexhaustible source for feelings of pain, sorrow, and despair. These words are superfluous - This is one of the few times that I am absolutely positive about a band. There is no need for objectivity or restraint…I acknowledge only the sorrow of love deceased, mercy for fellow lost travelers, and the sanctuary of While Heaven Wept." - Monolith (Greece)
"Classic doom in the best tradition of Count Raven and The Obsessed - slow, melodious, immune to trends, absolutely honest and primitive. The Vocalist is worthy praises, having a very good and original voice." - Charon''s Chronicles (Russia)
"There''s definitely some early Candlemass prevalent, a dash of Skepticism''s suffocating church organ, and - dare I say it – even little Dream Theater, personified by the band''s willingness to f**k with the blueprint but still sound like veterans of the genre? A heady concoction indeed, and one that you will inevitably find yourself partaking of again and again. As I mentioned, the 17 minute opener,"Thus With A Kiss I Die" is a glorious slab of doom: weighty, but still grandiose, in the viking¬period Bathory vein. It''s an epic in every sense of the word, beginning with a marvellously despondent riff, embellished - but not drowned - by ponderous synths. The song then metamorphs into masterful progressive metal, before returning to the same mournful atmosphere so beautifully captured at the beginning of the song." - Sonic https://www.tradebit.com (UK)
