While Heaven Wept (often abbreviated as WHW) is an epic doom metal band based in Dale City, Virginia, USA. The primary writer and overall engine of the band is mainman Tom Phillips. Their melodic, classically influenced style could be compared to bands such as Solitude Aeturnus and Solstice (the latter of which Tom Phillips is a former member); however, 2003's acclaimed Of Empires Forlorn saw the band branching out into a variety of metal and progressive styles.

  • While Heaven Wept (often abbreviated as WHW) is an epic doom metal band based in Dale City, Virginia, USA. The primary writer and overall engine of the band is mainman Tom Phillips. Their melodic, classically influenced style could be compared to bands such as Solitude Aeturnus and Solstice (the latter of which Tom Phillips is a former member); however, 2003's acclaimed Of Empires Forlorn saw the band branching out into a variety of metal and progressive styles. This trend is to continue on their forthcoming album, Vast Oceans Lachrymose. Early material by the band featured vocals in the growling, death metal style, but Phillips's clean delivery has since become one of the defining characteristics of the group. However, he turns over the role of lead singer to new vocalist Rain Irving for the forthcoming album to focus on the guitar. While Heaven Wept's lyrics have traditionally dealt with sorrowful matters, namely, personal loss and despondency.
