WITHERED Launches New Track Via ADULT SWIM and SCION A/V 'Metal Swim' Collection

September 20, 2010

Atlanta's blackened doom heathens WITHERED have launched "Extinguished With The Weary", the lead track from their upcoming album, "Dualitas", due October 26, as part of the new "Metal Swim" collection, presented by Scion A/V and Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. The track is available exclusively as a free download on AdultSwim.com/metal starting today.

Guitarist/vocalist Mike Thompson commented on the track: "We chose [to release] 'Extinguished With The Weary' [as the first song from the new CD] because this song really showcases some of the newer styling to be experienced on 'Dualitas'. It is actually the last song we wrote for the album and we always have a tendency to gravitate towards our newest music when given a choice. We are always looking ahead. This song in particular deals with this same concept. It is about letting go of your emotional and moral foundation. Casting away all the conditioning forced upon you by society, family, friends, etc., so you can redevelop your own reality and approach to life. It's about finding the freedom to, and eliminating any fear of, establishing a pure existence for yourself without repercussion. Also, it's really heavy and nasty; a really good listen."

The CD and vinyl versions of "Dualitas" will have different covers, both of which were created by Paul Romano (MASTODON, TRIVIUM, THE ACACIA STRAIN),who also did the cover for WITHERED's previous LP, "Folie Circulaire". A brand new song will launch next week.

WITHERED's third album (second for Prosthetic Records),"Dualitas" was recorded by KYLESA's Phillip Cope at the Jam Room in Columbia, South Carolina.

Prosthetic has launched a pre-order for the album at the label's official webstore.

The vinyl version of "Dualitas" will be a 500-piece limited-edition gatefold double-LP set on 150-gram wax, which contains the exclusive 33-minute instrumental track "Dwell".

The band will be hosting a "Heavy Metal BBQ and Listening Party" on Sunday, September 26 at 5 p.m, at the Masquerade in Atlanta. This is a free, all-ages event which will feature free food and giveaways.
