Black Metal against hope… No drum machines, no corpse paint, no Renaissance Faire speak, no fake names, no lies. Honest, dark black metal, faithful to tradition without spewing clichés.
Originally released on CD by American label Stronghold Records in 2008, "A Spell for the Death of Man" received nearly unanimous acclaim. Written and recorded as a solo project, a full Woe band lineup has incarnated leaving ravenous crowds shaken.
With a limited pressing of 500 copies on red wax, the album features entirely new cover art courtesy of artist Justin Miller, whose artwork for the CD version has been described as "the final song" by Grigg, as well as a printed inner sleeve. The music comes straight off of a brand new master taken from the original HD recording. Commented Grigg, "This is the album I recorded, the album I wanted to hear. This is Woe as it was intended."
