More Info:
2018 release from the melodic metal masters. After a whirlwind year of triumph and tragedy, California-based Witherfall are poised to storm the hallowed halls of heavy metal with A Prelude to Sorrow. Their ascent up and through the ranks was (and still is) bittersweet. The untimely and unfortunate passing of drummer Adam Paul Sagan in 2016 has continued to impact Witherfall profoundly. Whereas Nocturnes and Requiems was a touching dedication to Sagan, A Prelude to Sorrow continues the group's tribute to and celebration of their fallen brother. To wit, the album title, A Prelude to Sorrow, is derived from Sagan's initials and the music was inspired and informed by the emotional turmoil primary songwriters Jake Dreyer (guitars) and Joseph Michael (vocals, keyboards) went through. As the album title indicates, A Prelude to Sorrow isn't big rainbows, cartoon pumpkins, and neon knights.
