Witherscape The New Tomorrow

We have word on the Swedish two-man dark metal outfit, Witherscape as they have a new EP entitled “The New Tomorrow” which drops today! You can check out the title track ‘The New Tomorrow’ down below.

From The Press Release

WITHERSCAPE, the stunning new dark metal outfit formed by Swedish singer, multi-instrumentalist and producer extraordinaire Dan Swanö (ex Edge Of Sanity/Bloodbath, Nightingale, etc.) together with fellow Swedish multi-instrumentalist Ragnar Widerberg, are releasing their new EP “The New Tomorrow”via Century Media Records as of tomorrow.

Succeeding last year’s acclaimed debut album “The Inheritance”, which was voted “album of the month” by Germany’s Rock Hard magazine and also entered the official sales charts in Germany on position # 97 upon release, the new EP marks a conceptual and musical bridge between the thick concept of the debut and their upcoming sophomore album, expected for a late 2015 release.

The title track for the EP release, “The New Tomorrow”, is now also streaming promotionally here:  https://soundcloud.com/centurymedia/witherscape-the-new-tomorrow/s-Lwp2p

WITHERSCAPE’s Dan Swanö checked in as follows about the track: “Me and Ragnar got together in December 2013 to do some song writing. And once we entered our positions, me behind the drum kit with a microphone and Ragnar riffing away on his Strat, “The New Tomorrow” just flowed out of us in minutes. It starts with a flashback from the track “The Inheritance” to clearly state that this song is an essential part in linking the first and the upcoming second album, both musically and lyrically.”
