Bio
Initiated by lead guitarists Erik Gaßmus and Phillipp Olivier, the German Progressive Death Metal band WORDS OF FAREWELL formed in early 2007. The lineup was then completed by Nils Urginus (rhythm guitar), Leo Wichmann (synthesizer), Benedikt Goralski (drums) and Alexander Otto (vocals/bass guitar). After four months of rehearsing, the 7 track EP 'Ashes of the Coming Dawn' was recorded at Boombox Studios in Lünen and published in a quantity of 500 units. Half a year after their formation, the band had a personal change at the drums in which Felix Greiff replaced Benedikt Goralski. In the autumn of 2008 the band recorded the 4 track CD 'From Now On...' for promotional purposes at Total Recall Studios in Herten. It was pressed in limited numbers to be sent out to record labels and venues, distributed at live concerts and additionally offered as free download. Furthermore, the second sampler of the 'European Underground Extreme Metal Front" featured their track "In Fiction'. In the summer of 2009, Jonas Wübbe entered as the new drummer of the band. Subsequently, the live sound was further improved in reducing the instrumentation from three to two guitars - former bassist and singer Alexander Otto gave way in bass playing to former rhythm guitarist Nils Urginus, and concentrated on only doing vocals from then on. From June to December 2010, the band entered Metallurgy Studios, Mönchengladbach, where the debut album 'Immersion' was produced. Taken from this production, the song 'Sorae' was uploaded to various internet platforms where fans and musicians sang from the treetops. In 2011 Phillipp Olivier left the band, Henrik Tschierschky, long-term friend and former guitarist for the bands Harasai and Symbiontic, followed as competent successor. Since early 2012 Words of Farewell cooperate with the record label AFM Records from Hamburg. The first official act will be the distribution of "Immersion", around the end of march.
