WITHERSCAPE – Lyric video for new track 'Dead For A Day' launched; Online pre-order links available!

WITHERSCAPE, the stunning new dark metal outfit formed by Swedish singer, multi-instrumentalist and producer extraordinaire Dan Swanö together with fellow Swedish multi-instrumentalist Ragnar Widerberg, will soon be releasing their debut album 'The Inheritance' on July 29th, 2013 in Europe and August 6th, 2013 in North America via Century Media Records.

In order to further introduce the qualities of 'The Inheritance', WITHERSCAPE are now launching a lyric-video for the album song 'Dead For A Day', presented to you courtesy of Germany’s Rock Hard magazine here: http://bit.ly/14qgMdB

Dan Swanö checked in to comment on 'Dead For A Day' as follows: " 'Dead For A Day' is one of those songs that just wrote itself. I was strumming on the acoustic guitar one morning and it just poured out of my fingers. At first I had no idea what to do with the song since I felt it was perhaps a bit too commercial for WITHERSCAPE, but after I played the demo to Ragnar he insisted that it must be on the album! I love how the song moves between the mellow verses à la "Crimson I & II" to the more brutal, yet melodic chorus, in the tradition of 'Uncreation' and 'Twilight' through the groovy but "undanceable" 9/8 section that leads to one of Ragnar’s best guitar leads of the album.”

WITHERSCAPE marks the long overdue return as active composer and recording artist for Dan Swanö in the world of extreme Metal, after having mostly been involved on the studio mixing end of things in these past years. Granted, “The Inheritance” is not purely a Death Metal release, but it smoothly showcases both the heavier and the mellow sides of Swanö’s creativity and should consequently not only please fans of his earlier efforts like “Moontower” or the Edge Of Sanity catalogue, but also attract friends of progressively atmospheric contemporary Metal in the vein of Opeth, Katatonia or Amorphis.

WITHERSCAPE’s 'The Inheritance', which comes packaged in artwork by Travis Smith / Seempieces (Opeth, Nevermore, Death, Katatonia, etc.), is the first release under a longterm worldwide recording deal signed between Dan Swanö and Century Media Records earlier this year.

WITHERSCAPE Line-Up:
Dan Swanö – Vocals, Drums and Keyboards
Ragnar Widerberg – Guitars and Bass

More details on WITHERSCAPE’s 'The Inheritance' will be revealed in the coming weeks…
