Wither Blister Burn & Peel has been certified gold in the US on the strength of singles “What Do I Have to Do?” and “Shame,” which both cracked the Top 10 of the Mainstream Rock chart. The anniversary will also be marked with a complete re-recording of the album called Wither ReWired due out later this year.
Frontman Christopher Hall stated, “The idea of reimagining Wither triggered equal amounts of excitement and trepidation for me. I know the powerful effect music has on young people. The music we hear in our youth imprints on our brain and our souls forever merged with the memories that they accompanied. When you hear a song it takes you back to that party or that lonely time spent in your headphones where the music was your only friend. The crazy makeout session to your best mix tape and the other mix tape for the inevitable heart break that followed. How could we ever hope to improve upon those memories? Well we can’t. And we didn’t try. We chose to create new ones. I hope everyone makes some new memories to these new songs.”
Keyboardist-guitarist Walter Flakus added, “It’s amazing how powerful these songs still stand up 30 years later. I had a very tearful evening while working on ‘Sleep’ and the gravity of the song. These songs feel aligned with where we’re at as a band today while embracing our original industrial foundation. Some of these songs never hit the way they were intended. They do now!”
