In the vibrant heart of Los Angeles, a band called Witherfall is crafting a sound that’s as emotionally stirring as it is sonically profound. Their latest offering, “When It All Falls Away,” from the much-anticipated album “Sounds Of The Forgotten” set to release on May 31st, 2024, isn’t just another single; it’s a journey through the complexities of loss, love, and the inevitability of change, encapsulated in a music video that’s as heartrending as the song itself.
With a nod to the golden age of 70s rock, Witherfall weaves a tapestry that blurs the lines between genres, creating a sound that’s at once familiar and entirely new. This song, a dreamy contemplation on endings, feels like a reflection on what it means to move on from something—or someone—important. It’s fitting, then, that the band’s name itself, Witherfall, speaks to the themes of decay and renewal that run through their work. They’ve peppered the track with a collection of vintage sounds, from the twang of a 12-string acoustic to the soulful hum of a Hammond Organ, capturing a sense of nostalgia while exploring the depths of modern melancholy.
This release follows a series of singles including “Insidious,” “Ceremony Of Fire,” and “What Have You Done?” that have already captivated listeners, setting the stage for an album that’s not just heard, but felt. “Sounds Of The Forgotten” emerges from the shadows of the pandemic, a time that tested the band’s resolve and pushed them to find new depths in their music. What began as a reflection on disappointment and loss evolved into an anthem of empowerment and perseverance, embodying the spirit of moving forward against all odds.
The album’s artwork, crafted by the talented Blake Armstrong, reflects the duality of Witherfall’s music—dark yet hopeful, powerful yet introspective, offering a visual feast that complements the auditory journey of “Sounds Of The Forgotten.”
As Witherfall gears up for a series of select concerts to celebrate the album’s release, they promise not just performances, but experiences, inviting fans old and new to join them in the catharsis and celebration that only live music can offer.
Formed in 2013 by Joseph Michael and Jake Dreyer, Witherfall has never shied away from exploring the depths of human emotion, pairing intricate compositions with heartfelt lyrics. The addition of drummer Marco Minnemann for studio recordings and the talents of Chris Tsaganeas and Gerry Hirschfeld have enriched the band’s sound, making “Sounds Of The Forgotten” a testament to their growth and the enduring power of music to heal, to inspire, and to connect.
With “Sounds Of The Forgotten,” Witherfall invites listeners to join them on a journey not just through the realms of dark melodic metal, but through the very heart of what it means to persevere, to remember, and, most importantly, to feel.
