WITHEM Signs With SENSORY RECORDS

June 20, 2013

Sensory Records has announced the signing of the Norwegian progressive metal quintet WITHEM. The band's full-length debut, "The Point Of You", will be released late this summer.

Inspired by the likes of SYMPHONY X, PAGAN'S MIND, DREAM THEATER and CIRCUS MAXIMUS, WITHEM formed in 2011, their music offering varied sonic landscapes for the listener to explore, whether with its elaborate interplay between all musicians or with straightforward power metal anthems. With a solid online fanbase and several stellar live performances in Oslo and beyond already under their belts, the band has completed their debut album which caught the ear of the prog aficianados at Sensory/The Laser's Edge, who immediately brought the band on board for the release of the new opus.

The passion and dedication put into "The Point Of You" is emphasized by the countless hours spent in studio perfecting each individual performance and making sure that the end result is a world class blend of progressive, symphonic power metal, with over fifty minutes of thrills and melody-driven songs, without drifting into the clichés of overly long instrumental sections and sheer complexity for complexity sake. Based on the first impact made by the album teasers and demo tracks, expectations are running high within the progressive and power metal scene.

WITHEM is:

Ole Aleksander Wagenius - Vocals
Frank Nordeng Røe - Drums
Ketil Ronold - Keyboards
Oyvind V Larsen - Guitar
Miguel Pereira - Bass
