WOE - Czernobog (CS)

Crypt of the Wizard proudly presents 'Czernobog' the debut album by WOE.

Available to buy on cassette and digital formats. Cassette purchases will be sent a free download. Tapes will ship at the end of September.

Hailing from Tasmania, WOE play mean traditional doom metal in the style of Trouble and Pentagram. Czernobog is the first release from the group, which features members of Tarot, Taurus and The Wizar'd.

The virtuosity of guitarist Russell's craft instantly sets WOE apart from most modern doom metal bands. His endless barrage of haunting riffs - an essential part of any significant traditional doom record - are bolstered by a rhythm section built like the stone walls of a looming tower.

As the album's title suggests, WOE's lyrics concern treachery and tragedy, as well as struggles with external forces of evil and internal demons. All tales told with bleak yet soulful vocals.

Although this is their debut effort, the five songs on the album suggest the subtle sophistication of a more seasoned outfit.
