Lifeforce Records have announced the official signing of Atlanta, Georgia's very own Withered!
"We are really excited to welcome Withered to the Lifeforce family! Imagine if you will, a band that finds the crippling medium between early 90's Death Metal, Blackened Swedish Death and Sludge,Crust-metal! Withered encompass everything I would want out of a brutally grinding, sludgy Metal band of today!" - Drew Juergens - Label Manager and President of Lifeforce Records America Corp.
Formed in the early summer of 2003 and consisting of founding and current
members of the grindcore, crust punk band Social Infestation as well as
members of Leechmilk, Withered have shared the stage with the likes of
Mastodon, Exhumed, Lickgoldensky, Weedeater, Herod and Misery Index.
"We're very happy, on a musical and personal level, to be working with
Lifeforce Records. It's exciting to be part of what is sure to become one of
the world's premier metal labels." - Withered
Withered's full-length release Memento Mori (produced by Michael Green of
Light Pupil Dilate fame) is set to come out September 6th, 2005. Paul Romano (Trivium / Mastodon / Dead To Fall / Death By Stereo) will be handling the graphic design duties for Memento Mori, so expect nothing but the best visual eye-candy imaginable!
