WITHERING THE CORE JOIN ART GATES RECORDS

Art Gates Records welcomes Withering The Core, a modern metal band whose dark atmospheres, orchestral elements and emotionally charged lyrics explore the contradictions of human existence. Heavy riffs, melodic choruses, crushing breakdowns and rap-inflected verses shape a sound brought to life through a theatrical, immersive stage show.

Founded by Ángel “Winchester” as a solo project, Withering The Core became a stable lineup in 2026, united by a shared artistic vision. That same year, the band reached the Wacken Metal Battle Spain final, coming close to securing the opportunity to represent Spain at Wacken Open Air (WOA).

The band share their thoughts on the signing:

“Signing with Art Gates represents the consolidation of a band that pours all its energy and passion into its artistic vision. This milestone marks the beginning of a rewarding period that helps us become more professional and move forward in the long journey that is music. Having the backing of the music industry makes us look back with pride and joy, knowing that we are on the path to fulfilling a dream. This is only the beginning!”

Iván Magdalena, CEO of Art Gates Records, comments:

“What draws me to Withering The Core is how their darker, orchestral side connects with the emotional weight of the lyrics. That’s the part of their identity I’m keen to help develop. Ángel has taken this from a solo project to a settled band with a shared vision, and I see this as a good moment for us to get involved. I’m pleased they’ve chosen AGR for this next step.”
