Compared to Sweden Denmark hasn't had many successful metal
bands in the past with the two most famous probably being Konkhra and of
course Mercyful Fate / King Diamond. Withering Surface might be the next big
export from the small Scandinavian country and just like a lot of the most
famous Swedish bands they focus on melody in front of brutality and
aggression. If you like melodic death metal in the vein of In Flames and At
The Gates this is a new band to look out for in the future. The vocals of
Withering Surface are however slightly more brutal then modern day In Flames.
There are also some "clean" vocals which could have been left out completely
because they are not sounding very good. The band started out very promising
in 1994 and their first demo recording was awarded demo of the year by the
Danish national radio. Soon they signed a two album deal with Euphonious
Records and now they are ready to release their third album on their new
label, the British Copro Records. The production of the new album is almost
flawless thanks to Berno Paulsson at Berno Studios, Malmoe, Sweden, who has
also produced the latest albums from Deranged and The Haunted. This is a very
good melodic death metal album but Withering Surface still have one or two
steps to climb before they are on the same level as the leading Swedish
bands.
