Artist History The Withering story began at Autumn 1999. Raimo (bass) and Henkka (drums) had an idea about a band, and they started looking for a guitarist to complete the line-up. A few candidates came up, and finally they found what they had been looking for. Mika was a guitarist with several years of musical experience and fit tendency. When these three guys played together for first time, they all knew that this would be the new line-up for Withering. Withering started rehearsing some cover songs from bands like Amorphis, Paradise Lost, Sentenced. The band found their sound and balance between instruments. When the time was right, Mika came up with own songs. Some of the songs had been composed by him before he joined the band, but most of them were composed exclusively for Withering. The arrangements of the songs were made by the band together. Withering recorded their demo-cd "The signs of betrayal" on January 2001. After releasing of "the signs of betrayal" Mikko Mäkinen joined the band.They were stronger the ever. Mika brought some great shit in a form of new songs to trains. They started immediately to work with those new songs, and after a year they thought that it was a time to go to the studio again. They recorded a second demo in january of 2002 called: Justification for unavoidable. After that the line-up of the band changed. Due to lack of devotion, Mikko was forced to leave the band. Now they are Searching for new guitar player, who can sing as well.
