Withering Soul

Today's metal market may be saturated with melodic black/extreme metal from all corners of the world, but Chicago's Withering Soul promises to deliver on all fronts. If you want sinister screams as well as bone-chilling cleans, you'll get them. If you want interesting time changes and climactic phrasings, you will find them here too. Add some creepy atmosphere and dueling guitars for good measure and you have No Closure, the band's debut full length offering.
Withering Soul was founded by brothers Mykil (Vocals) and Krystofer (Guitars / Synths), and what originally started as a side project, eventually developed into a full band. The group first recruited Matt "Xaphar" Block (ex-Nachtmystium) on drums to complete their EP release, Apparitions of the Surreal (2004).
The band later added some new musicians; Marek who replaced Matt on drums, and also William on bass to complete an endless assault of live shows, sharing the stage with the legendary acts such as Enslaved, Dark Funeral, Finntroll, Satyricon, Absu and Hanzel und Gretyl to name a few. In recent news, the band was featured on ReUnation - A Tribute to Running Wild with their cover of "Firebreather." The album was released worldwide by Germany's Remedy Records and received positive reviews including a "Best Song on Album" by WeRock (SWE). In keeping with their diligent work ethic, the Withering Soul is also currently writing new material for their follow up album, which will be yet another step towards their ultimate goal to leave a lasting impression on the metal world with its own brand of music.
