 While Heaven Wept biography @ Tartareandesire.com
By the summer of 1999, internal tensions were tearing at the core of the band, and by then Tom had become involved with Arise From Thorns, at first as a consultant in the studio during the recording of “Before An Audience Of Stars,” then eventually joining them as a second guitarist.
The turmoil in the line-up was nothing new, as by this time the band had already undergone over 50 line-up changes in 12 years, and on one hand, it always hindered the swiftness of progress, but ultimately Tom always has managed to piece together an even better line-up, the current being no exception.
With the death/doom band Forty Days Longing now defunct, Tom turned to his former roommate, drummer Jason Gray thinking that he would be ideal for the job considering he was not adverse to playing what the songs required, which was often a plodding, slow beat (that is generally not gratifying for most drummers).
