A Spell for the Death of Man

sashavonkarl74 Very late to the party as I discovered WOE through their "Legacy" album, but one of the comment here on drumming made me smile, as it seems it was a programmed drum machine when this album came out, as Evan Madden is listed as drummer from their 2010 album onwards... regardless, I agree, this is has been a fantastic debut album for WOE, and it was remastered "recently" (2016) too! Favorite track: Wake in Mourning.

Ryan I don't know what it is about USBM bands but the drumming from some of these guys is absolutely nuts. Woe's debut is also one of the best in one of the most consistent discographies in black metal. Favorite track: Solitude.

Ross Watson Woe seamlessly merge their influences (thrash, black metal, extreme metal), making for some really menacing, thrilling music.

Converging Sins
by ULTHA

Take all the good things about American atmospheric black metal but make the "atmosphere" support the songs instead of acting as the defining quality. Fantastic band, live show, and people. Woe

Blackbraid I

Blackbraid is a spiritual force in the black metal scene, bringing a unique perspective and culture that was missing until the release of this album. 'Barefoot Ghost Dance on Bloodsoaked Soil' is immensely powerful, showing me that black metal is as strong as ever. 'The River of Time Flows Through Me' is excellent as well, with a crushing melody and unforgettable song title. Hail Sgah'gahsowáh, the new blood of black metal. Obsidian One
