Anyone heard these chaps? I got into them by chance a few months ago when I happened across this video on the Youtube.
Their debut, Nocturnes And Requiems, is a pretty solid hour of old school metal with a hint of King Diamond-esque drama. Guitarist Jake Dreyer is also with Iced Earth, but he's far more creative here than Jon 'One Riff Wonder' Schaffer ever allows him to be. Lead vocalist and keyboardist Joseph Michael, late of White Wizzard, has quite the set of pipes, and has done a fine job singing live for Sanctuary after Warrel Dane died.
Founding drummer Adam Sagan (Circle II Circle, Into Eternity) succumbed to lymphoma in December 2016 and didn't live to see Witherfall's debut released. His bandmates' response to his passing can be felt all the way through their second album A Prelude To Sorrow, which is due out on November 2nd. First single and video below.
