Feeble Gasp

Withered

My pale tremblings reverberate into the cradling shadows. As my grasp begins to tire, the pain takes root, binding me to this darkening corner. My toenails pry into the cracked floorboards as all I cling to softly dims and leaves me with nothing but the rhythm of feeble gasping. Subtle breaths brush against my dry cracked lips like fleeting dreams escaping through the gap between regret and longing. A moment of pause turns my empty gaze into a glare of wonderment. Within this moment, abandonment revels. Subtle breaths.

Atlanta's WITHERED return with 'Grief Relic', their first new album in almost six years. An imposing slab of discordant death, 'Grief Relic' sees founder Mike Thompson (guitars/vocals) and long-time drummer Beau Brandon add the talents of bassist Colin Marston (GORGUTS) and guitarist/vocalist Ethan McCarthy (PRIMITIVE MAN). With this, the quartet take a distinct step forward in the evolution of the veteran band. The hulking, eight song album is meticulously crafted and strikes a balance between vivid dynamics and oppressive weight. 'Grief Relic' is a masterful stroke of uniquely American blackened death and WITHERED's finest moment yet.
