(Los Angeles, CA - March 1, 2019) -
US dark melodic metal band WITHERFALL have announced the r
elease of their acoustic ver
sion of "Ode to Despair". The original recording can be found on WITHER
FALL's previous album A Prelude To Sorrow. The acoustic version is going to be released on the Vintage EP, which is set for release on March 22nd and will be available during the group's upcoming European tour.
"Being invited as special guests on Sonata Arctica's 'Acoustic Adve
ntures'
tour we knew we had to re-imagine some of our songs to realize the vibe
of the tour. Our partners at Century Media came up with a brilliant
idea of recording a few of these and including them on the upcoming
'Vintage EP'. Being our most successful single to date "Ode to Despair"
was the first one thought of. The track was recorded in a split session
bookending a tour of Japan with Kamelot. Vocals and guitars were
literally followed by a 5am flight to the Far East, then after the tour
we headed straight from the airport to the studio. This is also the
first song to incorporate new keyboardist; Alex Nasla. We also had the
privilege of working with James "Timbali" Cornwell (Earh Wind &
Fire, Janet Jackson) who provided the percussion th
at really makes this track standout."
