Witherfall announce new album ‘A Prelude To Sorrow’
WITHERFALL have announced a new album!
The new album, titled A Prelude To Sorrow, follows hot on the heels of 2017’s Nocturnes and Requiems and is scheduled to be released in November this year.
For mix and mastering, the band once again worked with Chris ‘Zeuss’ Harris (SANCTUARY, QUEENSRYCHE, ICED EARTH) and speaking about the upcoming album, the band says, “A Prelude To Sorrow is a concept record, though not in the sense that most people have come to know the form. Ours is not a story where each song acts as a chapter. The inspiration lays in the supremely dark reality that was the passing of our drummer and one of our best friends Adam Sagan. These songs are raw emotional reflections, composed in the witching hours under the influence of wine and sorrow, while watching and helping our friend fight and ultimately lose his battle with Lymphoma. Nocturnes and Requiems was dedicated to Adam after the fact; A Prelude To Sorrow is written specifically about his and our personal tragedy. Like Nocturnes and Requiems, the songs have been arranged to still have the peaks and valleys that any great record should. With Prelude, these peaks just might be a little steeper and the valleys might be a little deeper, alternating between violence and beauty. The titles initials are an acronym for Adam Paul Sagan – he came up with Nocturnes and Requiems, so we suppose it is kind of fitting that he also inspired this title. Hope he doesn’t come knocking on our door for royalties. We hope that this will be a fitting requiem for our friend and talented musician.”
