About

2014 marks a quarter of a century of WHILE HEAVEN WEPT and the band is commemorating this with the release of »Suspended At Aphelion« - a single 40 minute epic, that is easily the pinnacle of their recorded output so far…combining the sweeping melodies, dense orchestration, glorious bombast, and heartfelt sincerity they’ve always been known for in their most “complete” expression to date. »Suspended At Aphelion« sees the band continuing to redefine themselves defying musical labels and boundaries with their most ambitious, truly progressive release to date. Apart from the panoramic scope of the material, the involvement of prestigious guests including FATES WARNING co-founder Victor Arduini, FATES WARNING alumnus and WARLORD drummer Mark Zonder, esteemed classical guitarist Christopher Ladd, and cellist Mark Shuping further pushes the album unto another level altogether.
