🎸 METAL DRUMMER’S NEW BAND FINALLY FINISHES SECOND ALBUM AFTER OMITTING ‘TOO COMMERCIAL’ TRACK 🤘
In a shocking twist that has sent shockwaves through the underground metal scene (or at least through three Discord servers), WITHERING SCORN—the band that sounds like a rejected Game Of Thrones spin-off title—has finally completed their sophomore album, “Sanctum Of The Depraved”. Yes, you read that right. After months of intense studio sessions, sleepless nights, and one very controversial decision to axe a song that was apparently “too catchy for its own good,” the band is ready to unleash their magnum opus upon an unsuspecting world that was clearly begging for more Drover brothers content. 🙃
In a thrilling video update posted faster than you can say “I didn’t know they were still a thing,” Shawn Drover shared the earth-shattering news with fans: the album is done. Completely. One hundred percent. No ifs, ands, or commercial choruses about it. He explained with the gravitas of a man who just finished debugging Pro Tools for the 47th time that they had to remove one track because his brother Glen “wasn’t vibing on it.” Not vibing. In 2024. In a metal band. The horror. 😱
Apparently, this omitted song was “a little more commercial sounding,” which in metal-speak means it had a melody that might make someone tap their foot instead of headbang themselves into a concussion. Unacceptable. So out it went, replaced by an instrumental track that Glen had lying around like a spare set of drumsticks and existential dread. The sacrifice cost them four to five whole weeks—practically an eternity in the fast-paced world of independent metal releases. ⏳💀
But fear not, peasants! The gods of riffs have smiled upon us. Max Norman, the legendary producer who once made OZZY sound like a demon whispering from the void, has mastered the entire album. It “sounds fantastic,” according to Shawn, which is high praise coming from a man whose last major project involved wearing spandex and playing double-bass at 200 BPM while pretending not to make eye contact with Dave Mustaine. 👀🥁
And here’s the real kicker: they’re funding this whole thing through GoFundMe. That’s right, folks. If you want WITHERING SCORN on vinyl—especially the limited-edition “blood-splatter over corpse-paint” colored variant—you’re gonna have to crowdfund it like a indie game with 8-bit dragons. Because nothing says “extreme metal” like asking your fans to pay for your CD manufacturing. 💸🖤
The band, consisting of two ex-MEGADETH members, one ex-FATES WARNING guy, and a German vocalist who’s been in approximately 14 bands you’ve never heard of, claims this new record is “even better” than the first. And if you loved their debut—“Prophets Of Demise”, which dropped in July 2023 to mild nodding in the underground scene—you’re “definitely gonna dig this one too.” High praise. Peak marketing. 💯🔥
Let’s be real: this is the musical equivalent of your uncle who still thinks Metallica‘s “Master Of Puppets” is the pinnacle of human achievement finally finishing his long-awaited garage band demo. But you know what? Good for them. The world needs more middle-aged metalheads refusing to let go of their dreams, their double-bass pedals, and their belief that “commercial” is a dirty word. 🤘✨
Release date? Mid to late March. Will it change your life? Probably not. Will it make you air-guitar in your basement while your cat judges you? Absolutely. And isn’t that what metal’s really about? 🐈⬛🎧
