Witherfall

The band was formed in 2013, with guitarist Jake Dreyer and singer and keyboardist Joseph Michael already knowing each other from working together in White Wizzard. Drummer Adam Paul Sagan, whom Dreyer already knew from his self-titled solo project, and bassist Anthony Crawford came to complete the lineup. Together, they went to The Bunker recording studio in Phoenix, Arizona, to record their debut album, accompanied by Ralph Patlan, who had previously worked with Megadeth and Michael Schenker, among others. The album had already been written beforehand by Dreyer and Michael and recorded as a demo at Michael's studio in Los Angeles.
