WITHERER have announced their debut album!
Titled Shadow Without A Horizon, the upcoming album from the Canadian blackened death/doom metal band is their debut full-length album, and is scheduled to be released in June this year, via Hypaethral Records.
The upcoming debut album was recorded by Roland Rodas at Cavern Of Echoes Studios and Matt Hems at Seventh Level Sound except The Wailing Hours (Plummeting Under The Tunnels) which was recorded and produced by Cameron O’Neill. M. Adem’s vocals were engineered and produced by Raphael Weinroth-Browne. Mixing and mastering was handled by Rodas (also at Cavern Of Echoes Studios).
Different confrontations with mortality amongst all three members during the writing and recording process of the record created an alchemical intensity to the performances. “I had already described the album as an hour-long memento mori,” vocalist/guitarist/bassist Tiamoath explains. “The fact that health issues and brushes with death occurred during the process of creating this release was certainly difficult, but it was conducive to the theme of Shadow Without A Horizon. I think it’s a recording that will stick with us all because of that and was profoundly cathartic as a result.”
Alongside the announcement of the debut album, WITHERER have released a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Solar Collapse Mandala.
Speaking about the new song, the band shares, “Solar Collapse Mandala is an uncompromising purgation, a funeral pyre whose flames writhe above and beneath dying stars. It holds in mesmerizing tension doom-laden opaque atmospheres and crushing black/death intensity. Eerie, phantom-like vocalizations erupt from this ceremonial ichor into igneous violence, the composition burning itself to ashes as its meditative churning builds gravitational momentum towards a punishing and ruthless conclusion.”
