WOE UNTO ME Sign With M-Theory Audio!
“It’s on rare occasion one of your artists recommends another, and by another I mean a band halfway across the world and with a different style of metal to their own, but that’s exactly how I came to know of WOE UNTO ME,” explains label boss Marco Barbieri. “When Voices of Ruin singer Dave Barrett told me I should check out this band I was immediately intrigued by their name, logo and their locale but what’s ultimately most important and convincing was the epic proportions of their grief-stricken heaviness enhanced by an infectious aura of somber melodies. I listened and listened, which some would say is not easy when you’re submitting 12-minute songs for consideration, but I loved it. It brought me back to the ‘90s and the first times I heard and worshipped bands like My Dying Bride, Anathema, and Katatonia, but while that influence is present what’s presented is fresh and their own.”
Belarus’ WOE UNTO ME is no stranger to some as the group formed in 2008 by guitarists Artyom Serdyuk and Dzmitry Shchyhlinski and appeared on the scene with their 2014 debut album, ‘A Step Into The Waters Of Forgetfulness,’ on Solitude Productions and its 2017 follow-up, ‘Among The Lightened Skies the Voidness Flashed.’ Both equally revered by underground and European press and cementing their name as a band to watch for fans of all things doom. For several years supporting these albums WOE UNTO ME performed all over Eastern Europe on tours and festivals in Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania. Ukraine, Poland, Finland and Russia, sharing stages with Shape of Despair, Saturnus, Ereb Altor, Hate, Arkona, Mors Principium Est, Swallow The Sun, Ophis and more. Now it’s time to expand their depression and mournfulness across Western Europe and North America with their next album released internationally by M-Theory Audio.
“We're so excited about the beginning of our collaboration with M-Theory Audio! It’s a real honor to work with Marco Barbieri and his team,” states guitarist Artyom Serdyuk. “This is a next step for Woe Unto Me and we are sure that with the new release and efforts from such experienced people in the music industry we will be able to expand our limits and conquer new heights. We feel rapturous to join the family!”
