WITHERFALL Announce New Live Members; Nocturnes And Requiems Album To Be Released In Europe Next Month
US dark melodic metallers, Witherfall have completed their lineup for live activities. After the tragic demise of founding member Adam Sagan, who passed away right before Witherfall’s debut album, Nocturnes And Requiems, was ready for release, Witherfall have taken a well-deserved break of some few months for drumming auditions, finding a replacement for Adam in the highly talented Steve Bolognese, who by strange coincidence replaced Adam Sagan after his departure from the Canadian progressive power/death metal heroes, Into Eternity.
"This is indeed a bitter sweet statement to announce, on one end we are happy to have found a replacement for our late drummer Adam Sagan. On the other side of the coin, we had to find a replacement for Adam. We went through a long period of searching for the right drummer to carry on Adam‘s contributions to Witherfall. With Steve Bolognese we knew from our first rehearsal and assorted meetings that he was the right fit. Not only does Steve pay respect to the drum parts that Adam recorded on Nocturnes And Requiems. Steve also shares with Adam an impressive writing ability when it comes to composing his drum parts while we are in the pre-production stages for the follow-up to Nocturnes And Requiems. We have also been putting in gruelling hours getting our live show dialled in. Expect Witherfall touring announcements very soon." - Witherfall
Steve Bolognese comments: “I am excited to announce that I have recently joined Century Media recording artists Witherfall. As happy as I am to be part of such an incredible band, there are tragic circumstances surrounding the situation, as many may know. Original Witherfall drummer Adam Sagan was a friend of mine. Adam was the original drummer and passed away last year during the final stages of production. Sagan and I both played drums with Into Eternity as well as sharing a lot of the same friends, including Jake and Joseph. Adam would come out to see Into Eternity play every time we came through Minnesota. He remained a great friend. Witherfall was Adam's band along with Jake and Joseph. They formed it. I am going to do my best to carry on with it the way Adam would have wanted. Adam Sagan was an amazing talent and he didn't make Nocturnes And Requiems an easy record to learn to play on drums, but I am going to do my best. Adam Sagan is truly missed by all. See you all on the road soon!“
