AGE OF WOE

2nd album from 2016 by Swedish AGE OF WOE, one of the most distinctive acts to emerge from Gothenburg's extreme metal scene. With "An Ill Wind Blowing", the band further develops its unique blend of Swedish Death Metal, Crust, Sludge and Doom, creating a dark, crushing and emotionally charged sound that stands apart from more conventional approaches to the genre.

Recorded largely live in the studio to capture the band's raw intensity, the album is driven by crushing riffs, dense atmospheres and constantly shifting dynamics, moving seamlessly between oppressive passages and explosive bursts of aggression. The result is a powerful and highly individual work that successfully merges the weight of Death Metal with the rawness of Crust and the heaviness of Sludge, forging a distinctive identity within the Scandinavian extreme metal scene.
