Withering Soul

Crafting a wide variety of influences, Withering Soul seeks to evoke a sound completely of it’s own, that is both fierce and majestic. Anything from bludgeoning riffs, brutally catchy rhythms, to ghastly yet mysterious melodies, are what will warm the ears of anyone that listens. Painted atop a diverse arrangement of musical passages, is the specter of both melodic singing and sinister screams. The veritable result is an orchestrated seance of dueling guitars, spiraling leads, pummeling percussion, and unearthly keyboards. The lyrical content itself, echoes of themes connected to the subconsiousness, human desire, and the supernatural. Ultimately, the band strives to create a sound that will stare into the unknown, break apart the many sub genres of Metal, and challenge the limitations of an overpopulated music scene. Withering Soul was founded on the eve of the new millennium by vocalist Mykil, and guitarist Krystofer in the Winter of 1999. The two began composing complete songs and released a three-song demo that following Summer of 2000.
