Witherfall was formed in Los Angeles, California in 2013 by vocalist Joseph Michael and guitarist Jake Dreyer, both veterans of White Wizzard, channeling dark progressive and power metal in the tradition of Queensrÿche and Fates Warning. Their 2017 debut Nocturnes and Requiems was shadowed by the death of original drummer Adam Sagan from lymphoma in December 2016, and the band's subsequent output — A Prelude to Sorrow (2018), The Curse of Autumn (2020), and Sounds of the Forgotten (2024) — has carried a thematic weight commensurate with that loss. They are regarded as one of the stronger acts in the modern progressive power metal revival.
