While Heaven Wept Posts "Icarus And I" Lyric Video

While Heaven Wept is commemorating it's 25th year with the release of sixth full-length album "Suspended At Aphelion" via Nuclear Blast this October.

Today the band releases the lyric video for the album track "Icarus And I." Check it out in the player below. Commented guitarist, keyboardist, and vocalist Tom Philips:

"‘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."

The album includes several esteemed guests, including Fates Warning alumni drummer Mark Zonder and co-founding guitarist Victor Arduini. The track listing is as follows:

I: Introspectus
II: Icarus And I
III: Ardor
IV: Heartburst
V: Indifference Turned Paralysis
VI: The Memory Of Bleeding
VII: Souls In Permafrost
VIII: Searching The Stars
IX: Reminiscence Of Strangers
X: Lifelines Lost
XI: Retrospectus

The cover art for "Suspended At Aphelion" was once again created by Gustavo Sazes and three separate audio masters were optimized for LP, CD, and digital download formats. The album will be released by Nuclear Blast on October 24th (EU) and October 27 (USA).
