WITHERFALL · Sounds Of The Forgotten | GREY 2LP

Grey double-vinyl in gatefold sleeve.

Background information about ''

Witherfall has absolutely outdone themselves with "Sounds Of The Forgotten", their fourth full-length that's nothing short of a masterpiece in dark melodic metal. This Los Angeles outfit, led by the powerhouse vocals of Joseph Michael (Sanctuary) and the incredible guitar wizardry of Jake Dreyer (ex-Iced Earth/Demons & Wizards), has crafted an album that feels both epic and deeply personal. The addition of legendary drummer Marco Minnemann (The Aristocrats, Steven Wilson) brings an unparalleled rhythmic foundation that elevates every single track. What really gets me excited about this release is how it perfectly balances crushing heaviness with gorgeous melodies - it's the kind of album that hits you right in the gut while simultaneously making you want to sing along.

The storytelling here is absolutely phenomenal, weaving themes of heartbreak, anger, and resilience into a cohesive narrative that unfolds across ten incredible tracks. Songs like "Insidious" and "Ceremony Of Fire" showcase the band's ability to create atmospheric soundscapes that are both haunting and beautiful. The production quality is top-notch, allowing every instrument to breathe while maintaining that crushing wall of sound that makes you feel like you're experiencing something truly special. This isn't just another metal album - it's a journey through human emotion set to some of the most compelling music you'll hear this year.

For fans of: Sanctuary, Iced Earth, Queensrÿche, Savatage, and Nevermore
