FROM WITHERFALL:
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,
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 (
The Winery Dogs, ex-Dream Theater), Martín López (
Soen, ex-
Opeth),
Vinnie Paul (Pantera, and
Gene Hoglan ''Official Page'' (
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 Metal Festival III and
Official ProgPower USA XXI Metal Festival Days 3 & 4.”
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).
Witherfall will pick the best candidate for a live audition / hang session in Los Angeles on January 26 and 27, 2022.
