Promo Ready - October 10, 2008



Our
Mother Madness promos have finally been printed, and we are going to send them to
labels. Any interested label can request a copy sending a mail to
postmaster@winteroflife.com

We want to remember the strength points of our cd:
Recorded in
Rome at "The Outer Sound Studios" by Giuseppe Orlando (Novembre, Klimt 1918, Necrodeath, etc.)
Mixed in
Helsinki at Finnvox Studios by Mika Jussila (Amorphis, Apocalyptica, Children of Bodom, Him, Nightwish, Novembre, Sentenced and many more)
Artwork by "Seth" Siro Anton (Paradise Lost, Moonspell, Oceansize, Soilwork, etc.)

The cd is a full-length made of 11 songs, 66 minutes long, very well done
in every single detail, and we believe a lot in it. The promo includes
a multimedia section with more infos, photos, lyrics, live and past
demo reviews and the whole artwork.

See you soon...

Audio on Mother Madness finished - October 16, 2007

We've finished the work for the audio part of "Mother Madness". The mix has been finished in the first days of September in The Outer Sound Studios of Giuseppe Orlando. Mastering has been done in Finnvox Studios by Mika Jussila (Amorphis, Apocalyptica, Children of Bodom, Him, Nightwish, Novembre, Stratovarius, The 69 Eyes... just to mention some) in the first days of October.

We're all very satisfied of the work, for the superb quality of the record, and for the fact that we believe alot in our songs.

We must mention the collaboration of Tiziana Palmieri (Lykaion) in the new central part of witHer.

It becomes more and more difficult for us to define the "genre" of our music: in any case, we can say that there isn't a lack of intricate structures, there is a progressive base with death rythms and with a lot of alternative influences. But this sounds typically "WoL", so it's full of melodies and melancholy. The sounds are "modern", there's been a very big study on vocal lines and their harmonies and, even if growls have been eliminated, Elia has been very versatile and his voice in the more aggressive parts won't make anyone miss anything.

We don't know when the album will be available because, before finding a label, we are thinking about the artwork and taking care of the "non-musical" part of the cd, and we want to bring them to a level at least equal to that of the record.

Stay tuned for possible short-medium-term news!

Home Pre-Recordings of "Form of Egotism" - April 13, 2007

We have added the home made pre recorded version of Form of Egotism on our MySpace
, listen and enjoy! Obviously, let us know what you think about it...we want to remind you that it's just a home made recording , done only to see if the songs were ok, so don't expect hi quality sounds and accurate playing... even if we really love this song it's different from the other pieces, being probably the more "linear" and "tender",eheh!

We are looking forward to receive comments!

We're also still looking for labels interested in our work. If anyone wants to, contact us via email.

Holydays - August 17, 2005

Holydays for WoL,
4 new songs ready, and a lot of ideas...now we are searching for a recording studio. We think that the new work will be called "Mother Madness", formed by 6 song plus intro, outro and a short central track.  The concept is somthing of "pirandellian", a search of ourselves and a travel in madness...and,naturally love,eheh, "motor et exasperator" of our mind. This tracks will exasper the sounds of our previous songs. Ever melodies, ever alternances, ever long and strange tracks. Surely more "prog", somtimes more "extreme" others more minimal. See you soon with other news.



New gigs - May 04, 2005

New gigs added in Live section :

10/05 Winter of Life + Lykaion al 360° Roma
21/05 Winter of Life + C.T.A. + The Nightfaring @ MKC Koper (Slovenia)!
