WITHERING SCORN, the new band featuring former MEGADETH drummer Shawn Drover and his brother, and fellow ex-MEGADETH member, Glen Drover, along with former FATES WARNING bassist Joe DiBiase and German singer Henning Basse, who has previously played with FIREWIND, METALIUM and MAYAN, has completed work on its second album, “Sanctum Of The Depraved”. The effort will be the follow-up to WITHERING SCORN’s debut, “Prophets Of Demise”, which came out in July 2023 via Frontiers Music Srl.

On a video shared in his social media Drover explained the creative process for this album and among other things mentioned: “But that’s where we’re at. ‘Sanctum Of The Depraved’ is a hundred percent completely done. And if you like the first record, you’re definitely gonna dig this one too. We’re really proud of it. And it’s taken some time, but the world’s not gonna blow up if you don’t get the WITHERING SCORN record in the next two weeks…”

“Sanctum Of The Depraved” will be released independently on vinyl, CD, and digital. To make this happen, WITHERING SCORN has launched a GoFundMe campaign to cover the costs of manufacturing, artwork and promotion.

WITHERING SCORN was formed in 2020 by Glen and Shawn, who previously played together in MEGADETH, as well as in EIDOLON. The pair teamed up once again for their latest musical offering and are joined by DiBiase, who played with FATES WARNING for 14 years on multiple records and world tours, and Basse.
