Witherfall

Fjärde albumet från den Los Angeles-baserade mörka melodiska metalbandet Witherfall.

Witherfall: Sounds Of The Forgotten (Purple) [2 Vinyl LP]

"Curse Of Autumn" is WITHERFALL's third studio album and their most eclectic work to date. The new offering of L.A.'s finest dark and progressive melodic metal band was produced by Jon Schaffer (Iced Earth, Demons & Wizards), Joseph Michael (vocals, keyboards, also in Sanctuary) and Jake Dreyer (guitar, also in Iced Earth/Demons & Wizards). For the recording and mix they teamed up with Jim Morris (Savatage, Iced Earth, Kamelot, Death) while Tom Morris took over mastering duties. After most WITHERFALL songs were written with just an acoustic guitar, pen and paper and copious amounts of red wine, it was the group effort of the full production team that made a difference. "Jon Schaffer and Jim Morris really brought a lot of energy to these sessions", Michael comments. From the aggressive "The Last Scar" and the manic "The Other Side of Fear" via the epic and complex "... And They All Blew Away" to the catchy focus track "As I Lie Awake" or the personal "The River" - WITHERFALL have something to offer for every fan of well-crafted heavy music. "Though we always strive to take the listener on a journey, sometimes we like to create an Odyssey", says Michael. The album art is once again another hand painted masterpiece by the legendary Kristian Wåhlin, the fourth painting in the WITHERFALL series.<br/><br/>"Curse Of Autumn" is available as Ltd. CD Digipak, a lush Gatefold 2LP coming with a poster.<br/><br/>DIGIPAK<br/>LIMITED EDITION

High-class, progressive, innovative, visionary, unique and noble DARK EPIC METAL.<br/><br/>WITHERFALL is the band of guitar virtuoso Jake Dreyer (Iced Earth) and exceptional vocal talent Joseph Michael (Sanctuary).<br/><br/>WITHERFALL's second album proves why this band is justly considered the only legitimate heir to bands like Queensryche, Nevermore, Sanctuary, Blind Guardian, Iced Earth, King Diamond.<br/><br/>Artwork by Kristian Wåhlin (Dissection, King Diamond, Emperor etc.).<br/><br/>Mixed and mastered by Zeuss (Hatebreed, Sanctuary, Queensryche and many more).<br/><br/>WITHERFALL's out-of-nowhere debut album release "Nocturnes And Requiems" left many people speechless. The band's well-balanced mix of virtuose musicianship, skilled song writing and real metal power did not only surprised the press, but left a real impact on the entire metal scene. Now comes "A Prelude To Sorrow", WITHERFALL's second album. If you think they cannot top the debut, think again. The prime combination of Jake Dreyer's wicked guitar leads, Joseph Michael's diverse vocals, the tight and powerful rhythm section makes "A Prelude To Sorrow" an album-of-the-year contender. This is challenging, daring, fresh and very powerful dark epic metal. Flawless. "A Prelude To Sorrow" is available as ltd. Digipak CD and deluxe gatefold 2LP (with etching on side D).<br/><br/>ETCHED<br/>GATEFOLD SLEEVE
