Witherfall Video For New Power Ballad “Where Do I Begin?” 


Los Angeles-based dark melodic metal outfit Witherfall proudly presents the music video for latest single “Where Do I Begin?”. The power ballad is taken from their upcoming fourth full-length album “Sounds Of The Forgotten”, due out on May 31st 2024 via DeathWave Records.
 
Commenting on the track, the band explains: “Our upcoming album ‘Sounds Of The Forgotten’ is our defining statement, a testament  to what we in Witherfall hold sacred in the Rock and Metal Zeitgeist. We delve into many forms on ‘Sounds Of The Forgotten’ and one of the truly lost art-forms becoming ever more rare is the ‘Power Ballad’. Forgoing cheesy and sometimes hallow tropes about unrequited love we chose to write about our love of music. This ballad is an ode for anyone that finds themselves on their journey (whatever it may be) and fearing that their dream may be slipping away from them. Where do i begin? is a call to find your passion again and revisit those initial reasons for all of your sacrifices“.
