Noodly guitars! Screamy vocals! Sideboob! They Will Let you Down by Witherfall has it all. The band is from LA and made up of guys from bands like Sanctuary and Iced Earth. So that’s probably why when the song started my ears perked up.

Starting with a Whoaaaayeaaaaaaaah scream is a kickass way to open the song, plus the noodly guitar hook. The vocals kind of bounce between like growly falsetto and regular singing, but it fits in pretty well. There’s some math vibes rocky during the instrumental parts, with heavy, slappy bass grooves. And a proper noodle fest of a solo at the 4 minute mark really ties the song together.

I guess the story in the video is about a blonde assassin killing pretty ladies and also a dude in a red coat who looks kinda like Jude Law? It has some solid horror slasher vibes, and tasteful sideboob. Maybe they assassin is the silence that lets them all down? There’s a heavier emphasis on the band performing, which makes sense. These guys are really good at what they’re doing, but also it makes the story part a bit disjoint. Also it looks like sideboob lady is taking a shower in a bathroom at a music venue?

Anyway, enjoy six minutes of shredding!
