"After a crazy writing and recording spree that had us crisscrossing the USA and working in five different states. We present to you perhaps the most involved WITHERFALL production to date: "Insidious" first single from our 4th full length album. The song was birthed at four in the morning under a foggy full moon in a stream of consciousness with the central theme and musical landscape written/improvised in a single take. The contrasting consonance and dissonance in the composition takes listeners on a decent into madness. The song was recorded with all analog instruments and was Co-Produced by Zeuss. The video produced by both Bradford Cooper and Cig Neutron represents the pervasive malaise and general sense of division in our current culture. We wish we could say no puppets were harmed during the making of this video..." - WITHERFALL

WITHERFALL are guitarist/songwriter Jake Dreyer, vocalist/songwriter Joseph Michael, bassist Anthony Crawford, drummer Marco Minnemann (recording only), drummer/percussionist Chris Tsaganeas, and keyboardist Gerry Hirschfeld.

WITHERFALL was formed in Los Angeles in 2013. Joseph Michael (also of SANCTUARY fame) and Jake Dreyer (ex-ICED EARTH/DEMONS & WIZARDS) built their new band around drummer Adam Sagan1 (RIP) and accomplished bassist Anthony Crawford (Allan Holdsworth, CHON). Since then, the group have released three highly regarded albums: Nocturnes And Requiems (2017), A Prelude To Sorrow (2018), and Curse of Autumn (2021) and an EP Vintage (2019). Not one to cut corners, WITHERFALL enlisted famed drummer Marco Minnemann (THE ARISTOCRATS, Steven Wilson) on Curse of Autumn, ensuring the foundations of singles "As I Lie Awake", "The Other Side of Fear" and "The River" were second to none. On the upcoming fourth album, Minnemann returns to the fold with an album-only appearance, while drummer Chris Tsaganeas (WAX OWLS) and multi-instrumentalist Gerry Hirschfeld (Willie Nelson) WITHERFALL's newest permanent members.

Every WITHERFALL album is a defining moment. From the moment Nocturnes And Requiems thundered across metaldom to the group's wine endeavors (Tempest Red Blend) with Charlie & Echo Winery, their video collaboration with Cig Neutron (Devil's Workshop) on "The Other Side of Fear", a beer partnership with Adroit Theory Brewing Company (Shadows Black IPA), and custom Funko Pop set, Michael and Dreyer have made WITHERFALL their mission. The journey to this point hasn't been without toil and upheaval. Determination, however, is the key. Soon, WITHERFALL brings their fourth album to the masses. Experience it all with them.
