WHILE HEAVEN WEPT says Goodbye to CRUZ Del SUR

EnricoLeave a comment

The moment has come to release the truth. We have been holding this statement for a few months now, and it is finally time to speak: Cruz del Sur Music recording artists WHILE HEAVEN WEPT will no longer be part of the label’s roster. Why? Not for our decision. We love the band and have been working closely with them making “Vast Oceans Lachrymose” one of the best releases for Cruz so far. The response was so overwhelming and impressive that, we already felt, things would have gotten better for WHILE HEAVEN WEPT.

We are therefore thrilled, but also sad, to state that WHILE HEAVEN WEPT have signed a new record deal with Nuclear Blast Records. Yes, the band has finally made the further step, and as much as we are sad to see them go, we are also, as fans, happy to be the first ones to witness their new glory days to rise.

WHILE HEAVEN WEPT: Unfortunate news…but with light at the end of the tunnel

It is with deep regret that we announce the cancellation of our appearances at Metalcamp 2010 as well as the Born To Be Doomed festival in Baltimore this year. Cancelling any show is very difficult for us emotionally and spiritually…those of you who have been with us for a while know that we’ve even brought in stand-in musicians to make things happen in the past, but unfortunately, sometimes things simply don’t work out no matter what we do.

A statement from Tom Phillips:

Greetings to all…

It is with deep regret that we announce the cancellation of our appearances at Metalcamp 2010 as well as the Born To Be Doomed festival in Baltimore this year. Cancelling any show is very difficult for us emotionally and spiritually…those of you who have been with us for a while know that we’ve even brought in stand-in musicians to make things happen in the past, but unfortunately, sometimes things simply don’t work out no matter what we do.

Regarding Metalcamp, extenuating circumstances that neither the Metalcamp organization nor WHW ourselves could resolve…despite exhausting every last possibility…have resulted in WHW being cancelled from the billing for this year. Part of this can be attributed to conflicting schedules, along with truly outrageous expenses, and a few other personal matters that we’ll make public when appropriate (don’t worry, they’re not malign). The bottom line is we hope that we’ll be able to reschedule for Metalcamp 2011 (or after), and will let you know if and when this is sorted out.

OVERMASTER: “Madness of War” worldwide release set for the 23rd of April 2010

adminLeave a comment

The first OVERMASTER album “Madness of War” will be released worldwide on April 23rd by CRUZ DEL SUR MUSIC.
OVERMASTER features Gustavo “Gus” Gabarró formerly with White Skull on vocals, together with other professional and skilled  Italian musicians coming from past experiences with Skylark, Highlord and Edge of Forever.
Over the sad topic of war, Gus and Overmaster were able to create a dramatic and emotional atmosphere, where the description of the “madness of war” is expressed through a galloping and unrelenting  drumming and bass lines, a textured guitar work, atmospheric keyboards  and the expressive voice of Gus.  Every piece then fall in the right place, creating an album that musically at first sight might seems  inspired by the Teutonic heavy metal school, but maintains a clear and self-identity thanks to the layered and multifaceted work of each and every one of his interpreters.
“Madness of War” was recorded, mixed and mastered at Fear Studio during the end of 2009/beginning of 2010, with the usual high standard sound quality of Fear’s productions.
