Winterfylleth is an English black-metal band, from Manchester. Since their inception in 2007, the band has released three studio albums and have become a popular act in both the English underground metal scene and the wider international metal arena. Winterfylleth is often considered to be musical 'brothers-in-arms' with fellow English black metal band Wodensthrone owing to the common lyrical and aesthetic themes they share.[1]
History
Formed and releasing a demo (Rising of the Winter Full Moon) in 2007, the band rapidly gained attention in the metal underground, earning them a record deal with Profound Lore Records on which to release their debut 2008 album The Ghost of Heritage.[2] The release was critically well recieved and garnered Winterfylleth considerable attention within the English black metal scene. Following this release, Richard Brass (also a member of Wodensthrone) departed the band and Chris Naughton and Simon Lucas were joined by Nick Wallwork and Mark Wood, completing the current line-up. Winterfylleth then set to work on their second full length album, The Mercian Sphere, which was released on Candlelight Records in 2010.[2] Again, the release was a critical success (Terrorizer Magazine album of the month and twentieth best album of 2010[3]) and propelled the band to international success. This new found recognition landed the band poster-places at a number of top metal festivals including Wacken Open Air[4], Hellfest, Graspop[5] and Bloodstock Open Air[6]. Winterfylleth released their third album in 2012, The Threnody of Triumph,[2] once again to widespread critical acclaim (again obtaining Terrorizer magazine's album of the month and 15th best album of 2012[3]). In 2013, Winterfylleth completed a European tour with Enslaved.[7]
