WHILE HEAVEN WEPT: New Album Release Dates Confirmed - Sep. 30, 2009

Epic doom metallers WHILE HEAVEN WEPT will release their long-awaited new album, "Vast Oceans Lachrymose", on November 3 in North America and November 6 in Europe via Cruz Del Sur Music.

Commented the band: "After five tumultuous years, approximately 14 years after it was first discussed (albeit with a different tracklist), anyway, the bottom line it is done. There's no doubt we could've continued working on it, but perhaps the details and minutia that would be affected are ultimately irrelevant to anyone outside of the band and our engineer Chris Salamone. Further, we literally worked up to the very last possible minute given the time necessary to manufacture and ship in time for the release dates. We will also be making the album and various tracks available electronically via all the existing options, and more details will be made available regarding that soon. Additionally, a 180gm audiophile LP version (in a stellar gatefold sleeve) will be released via Maniacal Records in a limited edition of 500 copies. The actual release date of this will be determined after we've had the chance to listen to the test pressings and insure all is well. Expect it before the end of the year, however."
