Somewhere along the line I missed the news on the Hammer of Doom III festival in Deutschland, but man, the lineup looks killer. The PR wire sent over this update about Virginia doomers While Heaven Wept, who will be trekking over for the fest, and from what I can see here and on the fest’s MySpace, it seems like it’s coming together nicely. Any show that can get The Wizar’d to show up from Tasmania is okay in my book. Here’s the news:

While Heaven Wept have just confirmed their presence to the third edition of the Hammer of Doom festival taking place in W?rzburg, Germany on the 6th of Feb, 2010.

With the legendary Saint Vitus headlining, the festival promises to be one of the most remarkable live events of the beginning of the new year featuring other great doom acts such as Griftegard (Sweden), Atlantean Kodex (Germany), and The Wizar’d (Australia) plus others that will be announced shortly.

The release of While Heaven Wept?s long-awaited new album Vast Oceans Lachrymose has created much of a stir in the metal community, with enthusiastic reactions both from the media and fans alike.

Vast Oceans Lachrymose has soon been described as one of the year?s highlights, causing much expectation previous to its release just this week (November 3rd) in North America, and being released this Friday (November 6th) in Europe, via Cruz Del Sur Music.
