Los Angeles-based dark melodic metal band Witherfall proudly releases their fourth full-length album, "Sounds of the Forgotten," via Deathwave Records.
Band Statement:
"The long wait is over. The CDs and vinyls are in your hands. We proudly present the title track 'Sounds of the Forgotten,' the final piece from our latest album.
"What began as a dreamy acoustic guitar passage evolved into an epic arena rock-metal-prog anthem. This track nods to our darker influences from the '90s, including Type O Negative and Alice In Chains. The dark and majestic purple theme of the album cover reflects this track's essence. We hope you enjoy it and look forward to hearing your thoughts online. It took many months and much of our sanity to bring this work to you. Until the next one...
Joseph, Jake, Anthony, Chris & Gerry
