DEATHWHITE are currently revealing the second single taken from their forthcoming album, 'For a Black Tomorrow'. The enigmatic American heralds of darkness will release their debut full-length on February 23rd, 2018.
The song, "The Grace of the Dark" is now exclusively streaming via Decibel Magazine
Decibel is quoting DEATHWHITE on their new track as follows: "The last song we composed for the For a Black Tomorrow album, 'The Grace of the Dark' features one of our more melancholic riffs that is combined with outside instrumentation, i.e. keyboards, which marks a first for Deathwhite. We felt so strongly about the song upon its completion that we felt it had to be lead-off track on the album. And lyrically, it tells the story of someone who only finds solace in the darkest and quietest of places…"

American metal is often associated with its rather brutal side in Europe and often taken to involve the terms "death" and "core" by default. With their first album 'For A Black Tomorrow', DEATHWHITE masterly demonstrate that hard sounds from overseas can also be dark, emotional, and subtle. Although the Americans come with an already well matured style very much their own, some rough comparisons are offering a sketchy idea on which paths DEATHWHITE tread.
To say that they combine the melancholic depth of GHOST BRIGADE with a sense of drama that would fit MOONSPELL and a pinch of AMORPHIS for added taste is of course not fully correct, but might give suitable hints.
Formed in 2012, DEATHWHITE were created in part to follow on the path first explored by dark metal torchbearers such as ANATHEMA, KATATONIA, MY DYING BRIDE, and PARADISE LOST.
In 2014, the 'Ethereal' EP successfully established a template of melodic, clean vocals alongside melancholic, but heavy riffing. This debut created an early buzz within the metal underground that grew significantly with the following 'Solitary Martyr' EP (2015), which was hailed by critics as "thick with emotion" and "wonderfully engrossing”.
Backed by such praise, DEATHWHITE spent 2016 writing and recording their first full-length under the supervision of producer and engineer Shane Mayer. Listen and let 'For A Black Tomorrow' seduce you to delve deep into its enthralling darkness!
