Details Of Sophomore LP "The Unforgiving Road" Posted By Withem

Norwegian progressive metal act Withem revealed details of the long awaited sophomore release "The Unforgiving Road." The album drops via Frontiers Records srl on June 3rd.

The new album sees the band perfecting the style of gripping, melody-driven songs avoid the clichés and pitfalls of overly dramatic instrumental sections and sheer senseless complexity and instead center on creative interplay between the musicians, while the unique vocal range of Ole Aleksander Wagenius gives the band a distinctive touch. Just like the debut album ("The Point of You"), "The Unforgiving Road" was produced and mixed by guitarist Øyvind Voldmo Larsen at his own Lionheart Studio, boasting powerful and bombastic production values with plenty of moments for the listener to notice the most subtle intricate parts of the songs.

"'The Unforgiving Road' is the culmination of almost a year worth of composing, recording and producing. We didn't want to rush things after the first album, to avoid the usual pitfalls of "sophomore albums," says guitarist/producer Oyvind Larsen. "The challenges we encountered while writing and recording can only be matched with how rewarding it feels after everything is set and done!"

"Øyvind once again took the helm for most of the composition and the whole scope of recording, mixing and producing, and we can't wait to hear everyone's reactions after they listen to the end result," adds new bassist Miguel Pereira. "We are looking forward to start promoting 'The Unforgiving Road' with live shows right after the album is out, and meet all our friends and fans throughout the world."
