WITHERFALL: Dark Melodic Metal Juggernaut Teams Up With ADROIT THEORY BREWING COMPANY To Unveil Shadows Black IPA At The 2022 Decibel Magazine Metal & Beer Fest Next Month
Orders for the WITHERFALL Shadows - Black IPA (4-Pack/16 Oz. Cans) and limited edition T-shirt can be found HERE.
Dark melodic metal outfit WITHERFALL and Virginia-based ADROIT THEORY BREWING COMPANY have collaborated on a stunning new IPA called Shadows Black IPA. The team will premiere the Shadows Black IPA, featuring Kristian Wåhlin (King Diamond, The Black Dahlia Murder) at the Decibel Magazine Metal & Beer Fest in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on June 10th and 11th. Singer Joseph Michael will be pouring this unique libation for metal maniacs and craft beerologists alike.
The Shadows Black IPA is hop-forward with a roasty finish. There’s a hint of umami on the mid-palette, smooth and somewhat heavy-bodied. It’s almost stout-like and pairs well with Korean bibimbap, grilled rushan (or mozzarella) cheese, a Punch Fu Manchu cigar, and your favorite WITHERFALL song.
Notes the band’s Joseph Michael: “Anyone who even casually follows WITHERFALL knows that we love wine. In 2019, we partnered with Charlie & Echo to produce our Tempest Red Blend, and it has been a great success. However, we also love beer, especially craft ales. Beer is the go-to drink in my pre-show ritual. Wine and spirits have a much lower water-to-alcohol ratio and are not good for the type of gymnastic/schizophrenic vocal delivery that I utilize. I always drink one high-quality beer, starting exactly one hour before we hit the stage. Now, I’m proud to say we have partnered with ADROIT THEORY to bring you this awesome brew, the Shadows Black IPA! We also will have limited edition shirts that commemorate ADROIT THEORY Head Brewer Bryan Younger, who recently passed away. We will be drinking a ton of this beer on the road this fall with Moonspell and Swallow The Sun. Get yourself a case and join us.”
Adds WITHERFALL’s Jake Dreyer, “Although, I only overly indulge in wine, we were getting tons of requests from fans that only drink beer. Ask and you shall receive. I have no palate for beer, but I have been told the Shadows Black IPA is very good by trusted associates. We are currently working on our fourth full-length record and are preparing to embark on our first North American tour, so we definitely can use more inebriants to fuel our creative libidos. Cheers.”
Says ADROIT THEORY’s Jon Baker: “ADROIT THEORY is thrilled to announce our collaboration with the mighty WITHERFALL! We were fortunate enough to meet their singer, Joseph Michael, at Decibel Fest last year, and asked him to come try our beer. We had an absolute blast tasting a variety of beers, discussing music, and enjoying the incredible talent at the event. We proposed a collaboration, after some time, we nailed down the idea of making a Black IPA—one of our favorite styles! We aimed to create a beer that was as unique and original as WITHERFALL’s music, and we believe we have done just that. This esoteric take on the Black IPA, along with the special artwork for the label, is sure to please metalheads and craft beer fanatics alike! We encourage everyone to stop by our booth at Decibel Magazine Metal & Beer Fest in Philadelphia this June to be among the first to try the beer! We would also like to thank Joseph and the rest of WITHERFALL for their time and dedication to making this amazing collaboration happen, and look forward to hopefully working with them again in the future!”
Orders for the Shadows - Black IPA (4-Pack/16 Oz. Cans) and limited edition T-shirt can be found HERE.
WITHERFALL’s limited-edition Shadows Black IPA t-shirts will also be available for purchase at the Decibel Magazine Metal & Beer Fest. Don’t miss out!

WITHERFALL is currently recording their fourth full-length album and will hit the road this Fall with Moonspell and Swallow The Sun.
Pushing beer boundaries in Loudoun County, Virginia. Located in Purcellville, ADROIT THEORY makes esoteric and style challenging beers with an emphasis on Hazy IPAs, Fruited Sours, Pastry Stouts, and Barrel Aging Projects. Consume Life x Drink Art.
WITHERFALL and ADROIT THEORY would like to dedicate the Shadows Black IPA to head brewer Bryan Younger. Rest in Power, Bryan.

Century Media/Sony Recording Artists WITHERFALL ANNOUNCE FULL-TIME DRUMMER AUDITIONS
Los Angeles-based dark melodic metal outfit Witherfall are hosting auditions to join guitarist/songwriter Jake Dreyer, vocalist/songwriter Joseph Michael, bassist Anthony Crawford, and keyboardist Alex Nasla on a full-time basis. Ideal candidates will be available full-time, own their gear, be available for practice in Los Angeles, hold (or be ready to apply for) a valid U.S. passport, be available for tours in North America, Europe and beyond, but most importantly be passionate about their work.
Witherfall is dark melodic metal. Our influences range from King Diamond, Iron Maiden, Boston, Judas Priest to Kansas, Dream Theater, Type O Negative, and Queen. Therefore, we’re seeking an able-bodied musician that is informed by or holds in high regard talent like Mike Portnoy (Winery Dogs, ex-Dream Theater), Martin López (Soen, ex-Opeth), Vinnie Paul (Pantera), and Gene Hoglan (Testament). This is by no means a list of but rather the type of talent we’re seeking.
“We want to thank Marco Minnemann for participating in and playing on our newest album Curse of Autumn (Century Media),” says Joseph Michael. “Unfortunately, due to Marco’s intense schedule, he’s unable to commit fully to Witherfall. Our new material is shaping up to be some of the best stuff we’ve written to date. We are looking for a new drummer to join us as we embark on the next chapter of Witherfall. We already have confirmed appearances at Hyperspace III Fest and ProgPower USA XXI.”
Interested parties will film (ideally with multiple camera angles) themselves playing to one of (or multiple) the following Witherfall songs: “Tempest,” (Curse of Autumn) “Shadows,” (A Prelude to Sorrow) or “Nobody Sleeps Here...” (Nocturnes and Requiems).

What happens when a Los Angeles metal band teams up with a natural winemaker in San Diego? This edgy blend of 32% Petite Sirah, 32% Syrah, 25% Nebbiolo and 11% Zinfandel, which with spicy aromas of cracked pepper, rosebuds and fruit punch. The palate sizzles with acidity, offering fun, almost fizzy flavors of green peppercorn, strawberry and dried herb.

After entering several international charts with their latest album, “Curse Of Autumn”, WITHERFALL are releasing a video for “The Unyielding Grip of Each Passing Day” which is showcasing the stellar technical qualities of the individual members of the band - in particular Marco Minnemann (The Aristocrats, Necrophagist, Jordan Rudess, Kreator) and Anthony Crawford (Chon, Alan Holdsworth, Virgil Donati):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0moMMC66vm4
Witherfall about the song and video: “WITHERFALL approaches writing music more like a classical composer would than a common modern metal band. Sometimes the ideas for a composition span more than the logical breadth of one song. A good example is the three song ‘Curse of Autumn’ suite. This piece contains within it the songs: ‘Curse Of Autumn’, ‘The Unyielding Grip of Each Passing Day’ and ‘The Other Side OF Fear’. If you listen to those songs in sequence you will understand how they were written together. The video features an instrumental play through featuring the monster rhythm section Marco Minnemann (The Aristocrats, Necrophagist, Jordan Rudess, Kreator) and Anthony Crawford (Chon, Alan Holdsworth, Virgil Donati) filmed by Bradley Cooper at Doghouse Studios.”
International charts for “Curse Of Autumn”:
Germany: #20 Official Top 100 Albums
Switzerland: #73 Official Top 100 Albums
USA: Top New Artist Albums - #7, Current Rock Albums - #31, Top Current Albums - #83, Billboard Top Albums - #200

Thanks to all our fans and friends. We cannot wait to celebrate with you all when the world resumes...
Angry Metal Guy
On third album, Curse of Autumn all this talent is on vivid display as the band rips through wild, adventurous prog-power anthems tailor-made for fans of Symphony X and Nevermore.
Sonic Perspectives
If you're not already following this band, start yesterday, because it's clear that they're going places.
MetalSucks
Their brand of progressive power metal has a granite-hard edge to it - more Amerithrash than Eurocheese. The emotional core remains intact even as the runtime pushes the hour mark.
Metal Injection
This is a band with the technical proficiency of Dream Theater but the aggression and bombast of 3 Inches of Blood.
GhostCult
Back with their third full-length release, Californian act Witherfall return with prog guns blazing... excess and pomposity are all part of the majesty of prog so just sit back and enjoy the ride.
L.A.’s WITHERFALL are celebrating the release of their new album, “Curse Of Autumn”, with the launch of another cinematic video for an edit of the epic “… And They All Blew Away”. The video was directed by Brendan McGowan and produced by Zev Deans: https://youtu.be/sHbotmVnFlE
The band about the song and video: “So this is a total edit of this song... for those who dare there is a 15+ minute version on the record that is by far the most progressive thing Witherfall has ever written and features an incredible drum performance by the legendary Marco Minnemann as well as an amazing display of eclectic bass techniques by Anthony Crawford ... Going into the songwriting of ‘Curse of Autumn’ we always want to try and outdo ourselves with certain tracks and this goal was to write a song that took the listener on an unparalleled musical journey. This abridged version is set to cinema by UnholyRoman and is shrouded in mystery much like the meaning of the song... For those that dare the full version can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOeyn3lM-uk

WITHERFALL – Release Video Clip For The Emotional “The River”
See and hear a very different side of WITHERFALL by checking out the video clip for the highly emotional “The River”. After their homages to throwback horror with “As I Lie Awake” and “The Other Side Of Fear” the brand new video for “The River” finally shows a full band performance. The video was directed by Bradford Lloyd Cooper for Combobulated Arts Incorporated and can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/Zhy_5e_J-tY
p
The video and song have a very special and personal meaning: “’The River’ is a song about singer Joseph Michael’s deceased father. It refers to the family fishing spot up near Thousand Islands by the Canadian border of New York State. During the recording tears were shed… Hopefully this song honors JM’s father appropriately. RIP Kenneth Martin Furney.”
“The River” is the 5th single taken from “Curse Of Autumn”, the upcoming album from WITHERFALL that is scheduled for a worldwide release on March 5th, 2021 with the US vinyl being available April 2nd, 2021.

WITHERFALL about the video clip: “’The Other Side of Fear’ video is a nightmare-scape starring Cig Neutron, Rannie Rodil and Sin Twisted. Cig Neuron and his team managed to capture the core themes of the song. The video highlights the lyrical panic and anxious fear driven delivery of the music. The video is unsettling, creative and definitely NSFW.” They further comment on the track: “This song is the oldest track on this record. Joseph had the title and basic melody and theme. The music was written around it, usually at the end of each writing session. The piece was initially started during the ‘A Prelude to Sorrow’ sessions where the verses and chorus were complete. As we progressed with the writing of ‘A Prelude To Sorrow’ it became apparent we were writing a rock opera about Adam Sagan and ‘The Other Side of Fear’ did not really fit thematically. The Song was finished in Las Vegas after a debaucherously ridiculous evening.”
“The Other Side of Fear” is the forth single taken from “Curse Of Autumn”, the upcoming album from WITHERFALL that is scheduled for a worldwide release on March 5th, 2021 with the US vinyl being available April 2nd, 2021.

Revolver has teamed with Witherfall for an exclusive "Tempest Frost" variant of their upcoming third LP, Curse of Autumn. Quantities are limited to 200 worldwide — so order yours now!
Since Witherfall emerged out of Los Angeles with their 2017 debut Nocturnes and Requiems, the band has become a rising force in the dark, melodic progressive-metal scene. Which makes sense, considering the group features an all-star cast of players that are also members of Sanctuary, Iced Earth and more. Witherfall up the ante on their third and latest album, Curse of Autumn (due March 5, 2021), thanks to a production assist by Jon Schaffer (Iced Earth, Demons & Wizards) who teamed with Witherfall vocalist Joseph Michael and guitarist Jake Dreyer for the recording.

WITHERFALL – Announced As Special Guest On Evergrey’s “Recharging Europe Tour 2021”
In support of their new album “Escape Of The Phoenix” via AFM Records on February 26th 2021 Swedish progressive metal band EVERGREY will be hitting the road for an extensive tour throughout Europe in 2021.
As special guest EVERGREY invited no less than dark melodic heavy metal juggernaut from Los Angeles WITHERFALL. Bringing along their third opus “Curse Of Autumn” (to be released March 5th, 2021 via Century Media Records), the quintet are blazing new trails and weaving new tales, offering a genuine metal classic with an expressive song-writing and a refined and perfectionized sound of their distinguished and musically-adept dark melodic heavy metal.
Opening support comes from the Modern Metal quintet DUST IN MIND, one of the most up and coming French bands today.
EVERGREY Front-man Tom Englund states: "We are really happy to announce a tour of Europe next fall and let's all hope that the world is in a better place by that time so we get to see all you lovely people again!“
WITHERFALL comment: “After a long and tense year WITHERFALL are extremely happy to announce the very first tour dates in support of our soon to be released Album ‘Curse of Autumn’ as special guests with the brilliant Evergrey. We look forward to seeing all of our European friends and are excited to make some new ones in these new and uncharted waters.”

Treat yourself to another dose of Dark Melodic Metal with a brand new song and lyric video from L.A.’s finest WITHERFALL by checking out “Another Face”: https://youtu.be/jUDgiOskP0g
The band comments: “As with most WITHERFALL songs ‘Another Face’ was written with just an acoustic guitar, pen & paper and copious amounts of red wine. However, once in the studio the track really came to life. Some of the best memories from the recording sessions were working out the outro of the song after the solo. Between guitar and vocal harmonies and subtle harmonic shifts the ending is such a highlight of the record. Jon Schaffer and Jim Morris really brought a lot of energy to these sessions. For everyone involved it was a highly creative time. This track is a great testament to what can happen when everyone on a production team gets to shine a little light on a song.”
“Another Face” is the third single taken from “Curse Of Autumn”, the upcoming album from WITHERFALL that is scheduled for a worldwide street date on March 5th, 2021 with the US vinyl being available April 2nd, 2021.

What could possibly be a better time of the year to dive headfirst into dark melodic metal? While the shadows of winter are creeping up upon us and the nights get longer it is the perfect time for “Curse Of Autumn” to unfold.
“Curse Of Autumn” was produced by Jon Schaffer (Iced Earth, Demons & Wizards) for Ravencraft Productions, Joseph Michael (vocals, keyboards, also in Sanctuary) and Jake Dreyer (guitar, also in Iced Earth, Demons & Wizards). For the recording and mix they teamed up with Jim Morris (Savatage, Iced Earth, Kamelot, Death) while Tom Morris took over mastering duties.
The album art is once again another hand painted masterpiece by the legendary Kristian Wåhlin, the fourth painting in the WITHERFALL series.

WITHERFALL enlisted Bradley Cook (Slash) to track the drums at Doghouse Studios and Jon Schaffer (Iced Earth/ Demons & Wizards) to produce (with Michael/Dreyer) at Independence Hall. Jim Morris (Savatage) engineered and mixed, while Tom Morris (Trans-Siberian Orchestra) mastered at Morrisound Recording. Adorned by a striking Kristian Wåhlin cover and supported by a visually stunning Zev Deans (Ghost, BEHEMOTH!…) video for “As I Lie Awake,” the “Curse of Autumn” is peak WITHERFALL.

WITHERFALL comments: “’As I Lie Awake’ is the catchiest WITHERFALL song to date. It was created with much arguing and loud drunken chicanery. Early on the band and producer Jon Schaffer agreed that this should be the lead single. Director Zev Deans who had directed Ghost’s ‘Dance Macabre’ was enlisted for the job and the video for ‘As I Lie Awake’ features a great ‘Lost Boys’ styled treatment. Thanks again to Duffs in Brooklyn, we didn’t mean to spill blood and wine on your carpet…”
Director Zev Deans about the video: “When Joseph sent me the song, it immediately transported me to an era when both heavy metal and horror movies were all about sex, blood and ultimately, a good time! Movies like ‘The Lost Boys’ were in the movie theaters and long-format music videos like ‘Thriller’ were on MTV.”
“As I Lie Awake” is the second single taken from “Curse Of Autumn”, the upcoming album from L.A.’s finest WITHERFALL that is scheduled for a worldwide street date on March 5th, 2021 with the US vinyl being available April 2nd, 2021. Preorders will be launched shortly.

For the recording and mix they teamed up with Jim Morris (Savatage, Iced Earth, Kamelot, Death) while Tom Morris took over mastering duties. After most WITHERFALL songs were written with just an acoustic guitar, pen and paper and copious amounts of red wine, it was the group effort of the full production team that made a difference. “Jon Schaffer and Jim Morris really brought a lot of energy to these sessions”, Michael comments.
