Here are some details on all the acts participating in Pathfinder Metalfest IV 2012:
WHILE HEAVEN WEPT (often abbreviated as WHW) is an epic doom metal band based in Dale City, Virginia, USA. Their melodic, classically influenced style could be compared to bands such as Solitude Aeturnus and Solstice; however, 2003’s acclaimed ‘Of Empires Forlorn’ saw the band branching out into a variety of metal and progressive styles. This trend continues as WHW prepare their next album to be released through Nuclear Blast Records in 2013.

MACHINAGE has always believed in its own identity, writing songs which mix the thrash metal from the 80s together with modern technique while blending an aggressive and odd vocal melody. Playing thrash metal from the vein, these Brazilian natives have been showing their fury playing songs that truly take us back.
