Woe, Is Me review

The music in the metalcore scene is becoming as bad for reproduced generics as the UK chart. I can admit my own standards are lowering, the slight hint of unique-ness and I’m searching online for their gig tickets. Maybe I’m part ‘scenester’, you can’t beat a decent breakdown, jaw dropping screams and plastic auto tunes. Recycled for its debut recipe, this is metalcore but who gives a flying fuck, in this genre, it may be nothing you aint heard before but you haven’t heard it done this well, since, umm, the band you discovered last week. Br00talz. Woe, Is Me recently released their new video for [&] Delinquents from their album Numbers which was released summer’10. A short and sweet album which features a viciously fun cover of Ke$ha’s anthem Tik Tok. Blood pumping material, the Atlanta septet bombard you with creative structure, growls and contrasting clean vocals. The repetitive weighty breakdowns poise with the help of some electronic and melodic guitar, a perfect potion of dissonance.
