WORDS OF FAREWELL: Debut Album Nears North American Release Via AFM

German progressive death metal division WORDS OF FAREWELL will celebrate the North American delivery of their debut full-length Immersion via AFM Records on May 15th, following its recent successful European release. 

Following two small releases in 2008, the band lay silent release-wise until now, having spent an incredible amount of time over the past few years writing, rehearsing, perfecting the songs that would become their first album, now realized with Immersion., In January WORDS OF FAREWELL signed with AFM Records for the release of their debut masterpiece. Bringing to mind acts like Dark Tranquillity, Scar Symmetry or Insomnium at times, Immersion is a piece of work that displays international class, with early European media referring to the release as one of the most exciting metal debuts to emerge from the German scene.

Now with Immersion becoming readily available to an entire new fanbase in North America this is just the beginning for this young, dedicated act.

AFM records says be proud to announce the signing of one of the most promising newcomers in years! WORDS OF FAREWELL from Germany play Progressive Death Metal in the vein of bands like Dark Tranquillity, Scar Symmetry or Insomnium. - The debut album entitled "Immersion" will be released March 30th, 2012!


Below a first track taken from "Immersion".

The band says:

"We're really proud to have been able to get a record deal after these 5 years.

And the fact that we've been signed by such a big label such as AFM-records left us speechless at first because we certainly didn't expect that. Thus we're even more delighted to now be a part of the AFM family and hope that we'll be able to offer our fans quite a treat in the future, for Immersion is only the start of our kinship with AFM-Records."


... and to get to know the band a little better, they (or better vocalist Alex) prepared a little video message
