"Holding Back the Tears" by Wendygo is a heartfelt rock ballad that captures the bittersweet pain of farewell. With soaring melodies and raw emotion, the song tells a story of love, longing, and the courage to smile through the tears. It’s a powerful reminder that some goodbyes linger long after the moment has passed — a timeless anthem for anyone who's ever had to let go.

This moving track is part of The Great Reveal, Wendygo’s debut album, released worldwide on March 28, 2025. Emerging from the shadowy echoes of the Swiss Alps, Wendygo is a bold and innovative progressive rock trio that blends the intensity of progressive rock with the melodic sensitivity of art-pop. The album’s eleven intricately crafted songs delve deep into the complexities of human nature and the dynamics of co-existence, offering an immersive listening experience that is as thought-provoking as it is sonically captivating.

The powerhouse trio — Daniel (vocals, drums), Marcus (vocals, keyboards), and Björn (guitars, bass) — teamed up with Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and producer Ajay Mathur to bring The Great Reveal to life. Inspired by legendary progressive rock icons such as Yes, Genesis, and Gentle Giant, as well as modern visionaries like Tool and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, the project radiates a unique blend of vintage influence and fresh innovation. Adding further lyrical depth is renowned lyricist Simon D. Sanders, best known for his work on Phil Carmen’s "On My Way in LA".

With The Great Reveal, Wendygo delivers an unforgettable journey through powerful soundscapes and emotional storytelling — an album that stands as both a tribute to classic rock roots and a bold step forward. 💥
