Our Mother Madness promos have finally been printed, and we are going to send them to labels. Any interested label can request a copy sending a mail to postmaster@winteroflife.com !
We want to remember the strength points of our cd:
Recorded in Rome at "The Outer Sound Studios" by Giuseppe Orlando (Novembre, Klimt 1918, Necrodeath, etc.)
Mixed in Helsinki at "Finnvox Studios" By Mika Jussila (Amorphis, Apocalyptica, Children of Bodom, Him, Nightwish, Novembre, Sentenced and many more)
Artwork by "Seth" Siro Anton (Paradise Lost, Moonspell, Oceansize, Soilwork, etc.)
The cd is a full-length made of 11 songs, 66 minutes long, very well done in every single detail, and we believe a lot in it. The promo includes a multimedia section with more infos, photos, lyrics, live and past demo reviews and the whole artwork.
See you soon...

Flash news: Today at 6.30 PM (G+1)we'll be on Radio Nuove Voci www.nuovevoci.it . Stay tuned!

We've finished the work for the audio part of "Mother Madness". The mix has been finished in the first days of September in Outer Sound Studios of Giuseppe Orlando. Mastering has been done in Finnvox Studios by Mika Jussila (Amorphis, Apocalyptica, Children of Bodom, Him, Nightwish, Novembre, Stratovarius, The 69 Eyes... just to mention some) in the first days of October.
We're all very satisfied of the work, for the superb quality of the record, and for the fact that we believe alot in our songs.
We must mention the collaboration of Tiziana Palmieri (Lykaion) in the new central part of witHer.
It becomes more and more difficult for us to define the "genre" of our music: in any case, we can say that there isn't a lack of intricate structures, there is a progressive base with death rythms and with a lot of alternative influences. But this sounds typically "WoL", so it's full of melodies and melancholy. The sounds are "modern", there's been a very big study on vocal lines and their harmonies and, even if growls have been eliminated, Elia has been very versatile and his voice in the more aggressive parts won't make anyone miss anything.
We don't know when the album will be available because, before finding a label, we are thinking about the artwork and taking care of the "non-musical" part of the cd, and we want to bring them to a level at least equal to that of the record.
Stay tuned for possible short-medium-term news!

We have added the home made pre recorded version of Form of Egotism on our MySpace, listen and enjoy! Obviously, let us know what you think about it...we want to remind you that it's just a home made recording , done only to see if the songs were ok, so don't expect hi quality sounds and accurate playing... even if we really love this song it's different from the other pieces, being probably the more "linear" and "tender",eheh!
We are looking forward to receive comments!
We're also still looking for labels interested in our work. If anyone wants to, contact us via email.

We are sorry, it's been a long time since we last updated our news, so let's see what happened to this point:
on 1st March we have started recording our album, entitled "Mother Madness", at Giuseppe Orlando's (Novembre's drummer) Outer Sound Studios in Rome. We have finished recording drums, basses, keyboards and rythm guitars, and because of Giuseppe's work with his band we're going to finish the record session in June. For now we are highly satisfied with the songs and with Giuseppe's really professional work, so we hope we will have a great album in our hands. The album's tracklist will be:
1 Mattutino (Intro)
2 Noumena
3 Mother Madness
4 witHer 2k7

Holydays for WoL, 4 new songs ready, and a lot of ideas...now we are searching for a recording studio.
We think that the new work will be called "Mother
Madness", formed by 6 song plus intro, outro and a short
central track. The concept is somthing of "pirandellian", a search of ourselves
and a travel in madness...and,naturally love,eheh,
"motor e exasperator" of our mind.
This tracks will exasper the sounds of our previous songs. Ever melodies, ever alternances,
ever long and strange tracks. Surely more "prog",
somtimes more "extreme" others more minimal. See you soon with other news.

New gigs added in Live section :
10/05 Winter of Life + Lykaion al 360° Roma
21/05 Winter of Life + C.T.A. + The Nightfaring @ MKC Koper (Slovenia)!

descrive il suo viaggio tra flashbacks di ricordi
e miraggi futuri ...
