While Heaven Wept Discography of CDs

While Heaven Wept music CDs Since 1989, While Heaven Wept have not only contributed to the very definition of Epic Doom Metal, but with each release have continued to push the boundaries of the genre and in fact have developed a sound uniquely their own; incorporating elements of Baroque, Romantic, 20th century Classical, Cosmic Music, Dark Progressive, Darkwave, Doom, and various styles of metal their sound is very distinctive, very different, yet strangely familiar.

But Fear of Infinity ...

Masterfully mixed by Chris Salamone and WHW mainman Tom Phillips, the band's signature "wall of sound" is completely intact and bolstered by the energy from an amazing audience.
