Witherfall - 'Sounds Of The Forgotten' (official music video)

The masses line the outer banks
Of the river beneath the trees,
No one knows just what’s to come
Or what lies in between

The words unspoken, the silence left unbroken...
Like waves on the ocean...
The falling rain may wane before the coming storm

What are we in this for?
The core has turned and rotten
As the years just spin on by,
To The Sounds of The Forgotten

Wading through the undertow
For a distant light we seek
No one could know what we might find out there...
Beyond the trees

Those paths left untaken,
And the lives we’ve forsaken
Like shadows growing closer...
Once again left to wane amidst the coming storm

What are we in this for?
The core has turned and rotten
As the years just spin on by,
To The Sounds of The Forgotten
Why should we even care?
The shores are lined with graves.
So, Seize the day ‘cause in the end ‘neath
The Sounds Of The Forgotten

Ringing like an echo,
The waves come crashing down
Leaving all our worries silent
Nothing but muted forgotten sounds...

What are we in this for?
The core has turned and rotten
As the years just spin on by,
To The Sounds of The Forgotten
Why should we even care?
The shores are lined with graves.
So, Seize the day ‘cause
All will end ‘neath the Sounds

What are we in this for?
The core has turned and rotten
As the years just spin on by,
To The Sounds of The Forgotten
Why should we even care?
The shores are lined with graves.
So, Seize the day ‘cause
All will end ‘neath the Sounds
of the forgotten

Άκρως δραστήριοι δισκογραφικά μέσα στο 2024 οι Witherfall καθώς έχουν ήδη κυκλοφορήσει επτά (αν δεν μου έχει ξεφύγει κανένα) singles και έναν "ολοκληρωμένο" δίσκο ("Sounds of the Forgotten" 31 Μαΐου 2024) σε cd και διπλό βινύλιο μέσω της δισκογραφικής εταιρείας DeathWave Records. Πρόκειται για το τέταρτο full length album (έχουν επίσης ένα ep και μόλικα singles) των Αμερικανών dark melodic metallers (όπως αποκαλούνται), οι οποίοι δημιουργήθηκαν πριν από μία... ενδεκάδα έτη!

Δελτίο τύπου: «Los Angeles-based dark melodic metal outfit Witherfall proudly presents their fourth full-length, “Sounds Of The Forgotten”, via DeathWave Records, advances Witherfall to legendary status with its epic, foreboding expanse.

The album is supported by an ambitious schedule of seven singles, each with an official video linking the album’s story of heartbreak, anger, and tenacity. This is genuinely Witherfall, always willing to go the extra mile to outclass the past.

Witherfall was formed in Los Angeles in 2013. Joseph Michael (also of Sanctuary fame) and Jake Dreyer (ex-Iced Earth / Demons & Wizards) built their new band around drummer Adam Sagan (RIP) and accomplished bassist Anthony Crawford (Allan Holdsworth, CHON).

Since then, the group have released three highly regarded albums: "Nocturnes And Requiems" (2017), "A Prelude To Sorrow" (2018), and "Curse Of Autumn" (2021) and an EP "Vintage" (2019).

Not one to cut corners, Witherfall enlisted famed drummer Marco Minnemann (The Aristocrats, Steven Wilson, Jordan Rudess) on "Curse Of Autumn", ensuring the foundations of singles 'As I Lie Awake', 'The Other Side Of Fear', and 'The River' were second to none.

On "Sounds Of The Forgotten", Minnemann returns to the fold with an album-only appearance, while drummer Chris Tsaganeas (Wax Owls) and multi-instrumentalist Gerry Hirschfeld (Willie Nelson) Witherfall’s newest permanent members. Every Witherfall album is a defining moment.

From the moment "Nocturnes And Requiems" thundered across metaldom to the group’s wine endeavours (Tempest Red Blend) with Charlie & Echo Winery, their video collaboration with Cig Neutron (Devil’s Workshop) on 'The Other Side Of Fear', a beer partnership with Adroit Theory Brewing Company (Shadows Black IPA), and custom Funko Pop set, Michael and Dreyer have made Witherfall their mission.

The journey to this point hasn’t been without toil and upheaval. Determination, however, is the key. Today, Witherfall brings “Sounds Of The Forgotten" to the masses. Experience it all with them.»
