Description

Still sealed limited edition with bonus dvd

The first ever While Heaven Wept live album has been given the name T: T: T which stands for Triumph: Tragedy: Transcendence which Tom Phillips says is just like many of their lyrics, involves dualities; it accurately describes the music contained within, and the feelings Tom personally felt at the concert, it was a triumphant return to the stage especially after the varied performances during the 2004 tour and also there was the very real tragedy of losing our brother Tony Taylor (former vocalist of our sister band Twisted Tower Dire) in a motorcycle accident the very night of the concert. We werent sure how a live recording would turn out, but decided we had better be safe than sorry considering how rarely we perform. In the end, it turned out fantastic. A very good observation by the mainman of While Heaven Wept. But as he himself surely knows, there are different kinds of live albums, from Alive in the studio efforts (like Judas Priests Unleashed In The East or the Kiss Alive efforts) to warts and all recordings such as AIIZï The Witch Of Berkely or Vardis 100 mph (in case there are any N.W.O.B.H.M. aficionados out there, they will know what Im talking about). How much fiddling/overdubbing did While Heaven Wept do with their actual live recording? Tom Phillips: For the most part, the album is very much a real live album there are still mistakes, tuning issues, and various details we wanted to leave untouched. We did however have to have Scott record his guitar parts for Soulsadness to insure continuity (his amp blew out during that song at the show), but even in that instance, we limited this to only the heavy parts of the song. We also had to bring Rain in for a couple vocal lines in The Furthest Shore and Soulsadness that were originally ridden with feedback; once the vocal tracks hit the compressors, the feedback was piercing and frankly unbearable we couldnt just let that fly by any means. Otherwise, what you hear is what the audience at the Posthalle heard on February 6th 2010, although Im sure weve managed to mix the levels in a way that is more balanced, being that we know the songs intimately.
