Weald & Woe

Founded in 2018 as a one-man project, Weald & Woe combines the majesty of the medieval era with the ferocity of classic black metal, drawing on influences from Obsequiae, Véhémence, Darkenhöld, Immortal, Ensiferum and many others. Now a quartet of full-time members, the Boise, Idaho-based band embraces narrative-driven musical composition, weaving enchanting tales of knights, damsels, kings and peasants, told through blistering riffs and beautiful melodies, evoking dreams of a more romantic period. The band’s music walks a fine line between triumphant and sophisticated choruses balanced with frigid, breakneck riffing that paints an often elegant but bleak soundscape as the listener is transported to a different time. Swords not optional.
