PHOSPHOR was a band from London that released one of the three best albums of 2013, in my opinion: ‘Youth & Immortality’. Since the band unfortunately disbanded, we have been following its members closely to find out about their new project. Hélène de Thoury, singer and keyboard player, continued with her side-project, Minuit Machine and released a very nice EP, ‘Blue Moon’.

After two years in pre-production, the Virginia-based Epic Metal Band WHILE HEAVEN WEPT have entered the studio to begin recording the first of two brand new albums, entitled 'Suspended At Aphelion' which will be released via Nuclear Blast Records in late 2014.

'Suspended At Aphelion' is the culmination of 25 years and embodies everything that WHILE HEAVEN WEPT has ever represented – yet so much more; it’s everything we’ve got to give in our hearts and souls.”
