Los Angeles-based dark melodic metal collective WITHERFALL is pleased to unveil their video for "Echoes". The track serves as a bonus on the deluxe edition of the band's fourth full-length album, Sounds Of The Forgotten, released earlier this year via DeathWave Records. The premiere coincided with WITHERFALL's European tour supporting ANGRA, followed by their first ever European headlining tour.
The band comments, "Today we embark on our support tour with ANGRA and after we will play our first headlining tour of Europe beginning in Athens! While we are excited to see you all, we're still not finished unveiling Sounds Of The Forgotten. For those curious about all things vinyl, you may have noticed a groove on side D containing a hidden song. This curiosity is "Echoes". While we were securing the track listing for Sounds Of The Forgotten, we realized that we had recorded too much material for the record to have the flow of the album that we wanted the listener to experience. However, this was not a throw away song and hence we had the idea of including it as an Easter egg on the vinyl version, a special nod shared amongst fans that might just bring back ancient ritual of bonding over vinyl collecting. Now that track is available via the deluxe digital release of Sounds Of The Forgotten. Enjoy the marriage of consonance and dissonance that is "Echoes"."

With predecessor Curse Of Autumn garnering high praise in Metal Insider, Deaf Forever, and KNAC.COM, as well as admirable positions on Germany's Top 20 Albums chart and Billboard's Top New Artist Albums and Billboard 100 chart, Sounds Of The Forgotten advances WITHERFALL to legendary status with its epic, foreboding expanse.
Sounds Of The Forgotten was recorded at The Doghouse Studios in West Hills, California, Big Blue North Studios in Utica, New York, and Planet Z Studios in Hadley, Massachusetts. Dreyer and Michael again tapped producer/studio wizard Chris "Zeuss" Harris (Rob Zombie, Queensryche, Shadows Fall) to engineer/coproduce, as well as mix and master, with Jeff Aderman (Suit Of Lights) assisting as an engineer. The recording sessions required about three continuous months of tracking, mixing, and mastering. Logistically, Sounds Of The Forgotten was likely WITHERFALL's most complicated, but the result is vicious yet musical. The sonic inclusions imbued by the team throughout the album's hour-long journey resonate deeper with each listen.
WITHERFALL is guitarist/songwriter Jake Dreyer, vocalist/songwriter Joseph Michael, bassist Anthony Crawford, drummer Marco Minnemann (recording only), drummer/percussionist Chris Tsaganeas, and keyboardist Gerry Hirschfeld.
