Los Angeles-based dark melodic metal outfit WITHERFALL announce their fourth full-length album Sounds Of The Forgottenout May 31st 2024 via DeathWave Records. In celebration of the announcement, they now release their new single Ceremony Of Firealong with a video. 

Watch Ceremony Of Fire below.

“Ceremony of Fire is quintessential Witherfall”, comments the band. “This song features elements that are cornerstones of the Witherfall sonic landscape from dark haunting hooks, to eclectic  musical twist and turns. For the fans of our debut album Nocturnes And Requiems you will be very pleased with this. The Video is a great representation of the lyrical theme. Filmed in part inside the ritual chamber at The Crooked Path in Burbank California, the video represents the harsh realities of the artists path.”

About the new album:
“We found ourselves writing really depressing, melancholy songs about how just disappointed we were with all the work we put into Curse of Autumn and then going through the pandemic,” says frontman/songwriter Joseph Michael“Before that, we thought nothing was going to stop us. Then, something did. We felt a bit defeated. So, that’s how Sounds Of The Forgotten started. But we got out of that quickly. The songs we ended up writing were empowering. We have songs with negative emotions, but the overarching theme is moving forward and perseverance. That’s the epitome of Sounds Of The Forgotten.”

Watch the previosuly released “Insidious” below.
