Formed in 1984 by Michael Weicker, Weep, O' Mine Eyes has undergone an evolutionary journey to the present day.
The music is inspired by the German Expressionist Movement of the early 20th century, particularly by artists like Oscar Kokoschka.
The band has also been profoundly influenced by early industrial musicians such as Throbbing Gristle, Chris and Cosey, Thomas Leer and Robert Rental.
Weep, O' Mine Eyes began with musical experiments using analog synthesizers, drum machines, eastern hand drums, and found objects like metal canisters and power tools.
Recently, the addition of the Eigenharp to the studio has revolutionized both the sound and the expression of that sound.
The music of Weep, O’ Mine Eyes is eclectic, ranging from ambient to industrial. Each album and live performance is approached as a new sound canvas, ensuring a unique and innovative experience every time.
