"Also, the label added that these limited-edition re-releases would be sold at "new-release prices (as opposed to the outrageous amounts these albums sometimes fetch on eBay)"
I didn't quite get that - does it mean they'll be sold at the same price as normal editions, or just that they won't cost "outrageous amounts", haha...
Anyway, I fail to see the point in releasing only 1000 copies each, but nonetheless, these magnificent albums, of which, I am ashamed to say, I have only downloaded versions, are worth it - I only hope their price is reasonable, and they are made available worldwide - I would love to get my hands on physical copies, and yummy special editions, at that...Vast Oceans Lacrymose is a piece of art too, It was that album that got me addicted to the band, I was in awe after only 40 seconds spent listening to their myspace player (thanks to Konrad, who ordered everybody in the shoutbox to go listen to it, haha - thanks man, I owe you )
The only other band that has had that same effect on me since then (and it was yesterday, lol) was Anaal Nathrakh...

Fuckin' A, hopefully I can get my hands on a copy of the awesomeness that is "Of Empires Forlorn."

Interesting band....this is probably very unrelated to this post but had nowhere else to post this, but is this band really Doom Metal? Im listening to the album again and thinking to change the 6/10 I gave them initially to a mighty 7! Shit this is more like....prog death-ish power-ish something or something but sure as hell not Doom. If it is doom its the first time in my life that I wasnt put to sleep by a Doom album. Pretty impressed with their new album actually...nice one, they actually play more than 2 chords a minute unlike most Doom haha
Maybe Marcel can give me the low-down on this because Im puzzled by what they actually are.

This would be one of the seemingly rare times where I would order two albums of the same band at the same time (seemingly as in I've never done it before). Hopefully I won't waste my opportunity to get these. It is nice that this is happening.

Yes they are doom. But more of the progressive power strain. Btw no death metal in their latest two at all
Contrary to what you seem to think, doom doesn't have to be slow (check out loads of Candlemass songs or a Centurions Ghost for that matter)

Ahh...
pretty cool album the new one, pity its so short though! Especially with a 15 minute opener its weird that the entire album is barely making 40 mins. One of the few draw-backs I have with it at the moment...just over too quick

Those 42 minutes already took Tom Phillips fiive years to compose, arrange, so imagine had it been longer than that
BUt I do however find VOL to be the perfect length. Had it been 10-15 minutes it would have taken away from its impact. Of Ocean Forlorn was also 42 minutes btw.
EDIT: Of Empires Forlorn even had TWO covers on it (Jane's Voice In The Wind and a cover of Candlemass' adaptation/cover of Epistle No. 81)

Of Oceans Forlorn, huh...
And what about Vast Empires Lachrymose

And what a cover that is indeed, personally I like it more that Candlemass' version...I'm not saying Candlemass is doing it wrong, theirs is great too, but it's just that WHW's cover is more...deep, somewhat, more beautiful imho...

I fucked up big time witht eh album title there, yeah.
As for the Epistle No. 81 cover WHW's is clearly a cover of the Candlemass version and not of the original piece as written by Carl Michael Bellman and popularized by Cornelis Vreeswijk
