Wellfear - Illusions Unveiled (2013)










Wellfear is the latest addition to Norway's thriving metal scene, bringing a more melodic perspective while holding on to the aggressiveness that norwegian metal is known for. Musically they hold the middle ground between the catchy hooks and melodies of Bullet For My Valentine and the brutal aggression of Slipknot.

Wellfear started out as a band in late 2008, consisting only of Joe and Sultan with random bass players. They were rehearsing and writing at different locations in Oslo, Norway. During Christmas 2009 Wellfear recorded a couple of songs with lead guitarist Jack who later joined the band full time. In summer 2010 Wellfear entered the studio again, this time to record their debut album, accompanied by bassist Ref and keyboardist Max. The album was mixed and mastered at Fascination Street Studios(Opeth, Paradise Lost, Soilwork m.m). The first single “Dealer’s Call” was released September 9th 2011, along with a music video on Youtube and national TV. Their second single “Reconsider” and the album Legacy of the fallen was released October 10th 2011 and received great praise. To promote the album they released two more videos for the songs "Sacred Silence" and "Land of Liberty". Wellfear played several concerts and some minor to major festivals in Norway the following spring and summer.

In the summer of 2012 Wellfear began recording their second album ‘Illusions Unveiled’. Like ‘Legacy of the Fallen’, the follow-up album was also recorded by the band itself while mixing and mastering was done by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios.

This time the songs are even more “in-your-face”, with a higher tempo, more detailed guitar- and drum parts and even more singable choruses. All excess fat has been trimmed off, and what remains is 30 minutes worth of pure, adrenaline-dripping metal.

The first track to be released from the album will be ‘Knight and Day’, which will be released along with a music video in the beginning of mars 2013. The second single is ‘Fountain of Justice’, and will be released immediately before the full album is released on April 5th 2013.
