WOE – ‘CZERNOBOG’
Emerging from a coven bearing members of such acts as Tarot and The Wizar’d, Woe thunders forth with ‘Czernobog’ ,a distinctive, riff centric, grooving devotional trad Doom affair. Afforded influences from Hard Rock and Roll, Stoner Rock, Heavy Metal and Doom, Woe conjures a breathtaking, muscular, master-crafted Heavy Metal scourge, a dread shade atop a frightful steed weilding radiant black steel, a vengeful hooved beast of power trio sound. The diminished harmonies and sunbaked slinking grooves, the brazen blues sodden riffing and galloping thunderhooved rhythms evoke Kyuss as much as Candlemass and Trouble, in the way the final Reverend Bizarre album evoked these sounds convergently and somehow dogmatically. The stellar Guitar playing carries the weight and sweat of a seasoned vet, generating broadsword swinging power and bursting with barbarian melody, coursing power Bass lopes beneath locked into robust rhythm with the irresistible drumming, and topped with clean soaring dude vocal. Devotional, romantic Heavy Doom Metal, another total banger from that Wizard’s Crypt. Ride to death!
