Woe

It was in 2007 in New Jersey in the United States that Woe was born as a solo project by Chris Grigg (Guitare / Bass / Battery / Chant) who recorded a single demo, Absinthe Invocation , a split with Infernal Stronghold , both in 2007, then a first album: A Spell For The Death Of Man in 2008 that was released by Stronghold Records. Chris surrounds himself with Grzesiek Czapla (Guitare), Shane Madden (Basse) and Evan Madden (Battery) to record Quietly, Undramatically appearing at Candlelight Records in 2010 and allowing them to make a tour in the United States. But Shen and Evan left Woe in 2011. Ben Brand ( Sonja , ex Tombs ) is recruited as a guitarist in 2010, Shwan Riley will only remain bassist between 2011 and 2012. Grzesiek found himself even drummer in 2011 before forking as bassist and singer in 2012 after Shawn's short incursion as bassist. Russon Grosse also arrives as a drummer at that time. Chris (Guitare / Chant), Grzesiek (Basse / Chant), Ben (Guitare) and Ruston (Battery) recorded Woe's third album, Withdrawal , which appeared in 2013 at Candlelight Records. Shortly afterwards, Shawn Eldridge (Battery - Death Fortress , ex Disma , ex Funebrarum , ex Tchornobog ) replaced Russon in the drums for a year and Ben Brand left the band in 2013. In 2016, Woe saw a new drummer and guitarist arrive in the people of Lev Weinstein (Battery - Bloody Panda , Krallice , Wayfarer ) and Matt Mewton (Guitare - Belus , Glorious Depravity ). They probably record one of their best albums, Hope Attrition , which appeared at Vendetta Records in 2017, followed by the ep A Violent Dread in 2019. At the end of 2023, they re-offend with Legacies Of Frailty, which also appears at Vendetta Records and seems to show all the good vitality of the combo to produce a Black Metal without carcan and personal.
