\u201cExit Plan\u201d is the 6th studio album from Withering Surface following the success of the 2020-comeback album \u201cMeet Your Maker\u201d.
\nThe process of the \u201cExit Plan\u201d album was long and challenging with various recording session, line-up changes, producers and
\non top of that all the obstacles with Covid and post-Covid. The fact that the band\u2019s engagements with Copenhell and various
\nother festivals in 2020 were postponed two years to 2022 could easily have killed Withering Surface that was making a comeback
\nafter 15 years in slumber. Instead, all efforts were put into the making of \u201cExit Plan\u201d. An album where both songwriting and lyrical
\nconcept appear stronger than ever for the band. Topping this is the production by Soren Andersen (Medley Studio), mainly known
\nin rock and hard rock circles for his work with artists like Thundermother, Tygers Of Pan Tang and Glenn Hughes. Soren Andersen
\nwas not the obvious choice of producer for a melodic death metal band but ended up being the perfect match for Withering
\nSurface anno 2024 delivering a huge over-the-top sound.<\/p>\n
Allan Tvedebrink says \u201cRight after we dropped \u201cMeet Your Maker\u201d all our gigs and plans were scrapped because of the pandemic
\nand it obviously created a huge void for us. I\u2019m very proud of that album, but when it was finished, I felt that we could do better
\nand, because of the wide open schedule, I immediately started working on \u201cExit Plan\u201d. The new material is focused on a much
\nmore direct and intense approach and it is by far the strongest compilation of songs we have ever done to represent an album.
\nIn the process of creating \u201cExit Plan\u201d we had lots of set backs. Deciding to let our new drummer go after we recorded the drums,
\nhaving a new guitarist on board and losing our keyboard player took some extra time, but also made us re-visit the material and
\nget everything right. The challenges and the decisions made in the process definitely made the album way better\u201d.<\/p>\n
Soren Andersen: \u201cI was initially hired as the mixing engineer but I have ended up becoming a superfan. This is how I feel about
\nWithering Surface and their forthcoming album \u201cExit Plan\u201d. They are by far the most extreme band I have ever worked with. Musically I
\nhave no other bands to compare them with besides Faith No More and Soilwork. After a few mixes I totally fell in love with the sound of
\nthe band, and never before have I challenged myself as much as I have working upon this album. Combining brutal riffs, a powerhouse
\nrhythm section, screaming vocals, melodic solos and imaginative songwriting, this is all I could ever ask for in a metal band\u201d.<\/p>\n
Singer Michael Hvolgaard Andersen adds: \u201cVocal wise I wanted to go back to the roots of Withering Surface. Capturing some of
\nthe spirit from the frustrated 19-year old me. Songs on the new album like \u201cWhere Dreamers Die\u201d and \u201cYou Hurt This Child\u201d show
\nthat. I was not sure I still had that throat capacity and aggression in me but proved myself wrong. I always had the desire to make
\ncatchy sing-a-long choruses. In the past they were on songs like \u201cDancing With Faries\u201d and \u201cJoyless Journey\u201d. On \u201cExit Plan\u201d
\nthis desire is brought to life on \u201cDenial Denial Denial\u201d, \u201cFinish What You Started\u201d and \u201cI Finally Lost (All Faith In Humanity)\u201d. Since
\nthe formation of Withering Surface, Allan\u2019s songwriting felt natural for me to make vocal lines and melodies on and on \u201cExit Plan\u201d
\nI truly believe he delivered his strongest material to date which by the end of the day is the reason that made my voice sound
\nstrong and have me deliver that little extra\u201d.<\/p>\n
