After 3 musicless years, While Heaven Wept have treated the patient fans today and released a brand new track available for streaming.

The band is a month away from releasing their 5th full-length album, ‘Suspended at Aphelion‘, and celebrating their 25th anniversary, and have finally given us a taste of what we can expect. The new track is called ‘Icarus & I‘, and sounds brilliant! A very worthy follow up to 2011’s ‘Fear of Infinity‘, the track mixing all what is great about the band, dark and progressive and a nice atmospheric flow to the music.

Mainman Tom Phillips commented on the tracks release:

“‘Icarus And I’ is Part 2 out of 11 and establishes the foundation of Suspended At Aphelion’s plot: the pursuit of the sun with passion and vigor, only to succumb to the reality that it is beyond reach. That is really what Suspended At Aphelion is all about: being instead condemned to the furthest point from the sun…the failure to achieve the dream – despite all the faith, hope, spirit, strength, and heart any one of us could muster. And musically, there are so many more twists, turns, modulations, so much more madness that follows this, it’s impossible to represent the totality of this song with any individual part, however ‘Icarus And I’ was the inception of what we feel is the most gratifying journey in the history of While Heaven Wept.”

We look forward to the album’s release next month! Stream the new track below:
