Revenge. Paranoia. Dismay. Withdrawal emerges from three years of silence to collaborate with Escapist Records for the release of their debut full-length, Never. The band's first LP boasts eleven scathing offerings of miserablist metallic hardcore and is the follow-up to their acclaimed 2013 split 7" with Young & In The Way on A389 Recordings. With Never Withdrawal continue to spread their message of despair and delusion, holding nothing back across a thirty-four minute labyrinth of Holy Terror influenced hardcore.

Formed in Winnipeg, Canada in 2008, Withdrawal has earned a devoted cult following with numerous releases across various mediums (vinyl, cassette, digital) and performances alongside legends and peers alike including Integrity, Power Trip, Ringworm, Xibalba, and more. For years, a full-length was often on the horizon, but seemingly never materialized. Never finds the band making good on that threat, dismissing the genre trappings to play it safe or by the numbers. Withdrawal casts aside expectation: Neurosis-like dirge gives way to Bolt Thrower-esque double bass runs. All Out War style thrash riffs transform into uneasy gothic laments. Connecticut-style breakdowns become acid soaked with pitch shifting delays. Never is Withdrawal cementing their legacy in the realm of hardcore.

Never was recorded, mixed, and mastered with Brent McCrea at Private Ear Studios (Comeback Kid, Propagandhi) with additional recording at Posi-Tracks Studios. Wrapped in hauntingly dark art from Irish artist Sarah Sheil, Never features esoteric calligraphy beautifully pressed in gold foil on the LP jacket and will be available on three vinyl variants: Opaque Pink (100), Coke Bottle Clear (150) and Black (250). Never will see a late fall 2016 release via Escapist Records on digital and vinyl formats.
