Weald & Woe

**Weald & Woe** is a U.S.-based black metal band formed in 2018, known for weaving dark, medieval-inspired tales into their raw, atmospheric sound. Drawing lyrical inspiration from folklore, historical battles, and haunting landscapes, their music blends blistering riffs with folk-influenced melodies—think acoustic interludes paired with thunderous blast beats. Recent releases like *Wings of Hate* and *For Death & Glory* showcase their knack for epic storytelling, while tracks like *The Fate of Kings and Men* lean into grand, cinematic themes of power and ruin.

Though shrouded in mystery (typical of the genre), their work has gained traction among fans of dungeon synth and pagan metal for its commitment to atmosphere and unapologetic intensity. Whether they’re chanting about ancient rites (*Rite of Thorns*) or channeling battlefield chaos (*For The Good of The Realm*), Weald & Woe delivers a headbanging trip through history’s shadowy corners.
