Description

Superficially, Witherscape might seem like a brand-new name to the scene, but when looking and listening closer at its content that surely isn’t the case. Legendary Swedish vocalist/multi-instrumentalis­t/producer Dan Swanö is perhaps best known for his work with Edge Of Sanity, Nightingale and Bloodbath. Following a lengthy silence, Swanö has returned with multi-instrumentalist Ragnar Widerberg at his side and a new conceptual project, Witherscape. No surprise that it's an outing of epic proportions done up in expected in-your-face Swanö tradition.

Witherscape has been in planning for a long time, spawned as a result of his working relationship with Widerberg. Swanö discovered they had so much in common musically that brainstorming for a full-on metal project of their own was the next logical step. “I think that most people will love it,” Swanö says of the Witherscape record. “I feel a certain way when a song just works as I’m writing it. When I listen to it I have this feeling about the songs all the time, and you should have that with anything you do. I’ve done so much mixing and I’ve proofed all the masters, so at this point I normally wouldn’t be able to stand the record. Not for years. But, I still feel like I could listen to the Witherscape record again right now. I knew the only way I could make a truthful comeback is if I was 100% behind the music, and I think this is what the fans have been waiting for.”

The Inheritance” is a pretty thick concept album split into different episodes and very briefly, the Witherscape story takes place in a remote village in northern Sweden in the late 1800’s. The central character lives in Stockholm and comes from wealth, and upon the death of his family he's informed by the family lawyer that he has inherited a large estate up north. Having been oblivious to the estate's existence, he decides to investigate, and once he's there “all kinds of weird shit happens…”.
