Woe - Withdrawal (CD)

Review

...on Withdrawal, one of the young year's most irrepressible and energized metal records, Woe plays with an urgency that suggests they have a chip on their collective shoulder and a point to prove. After Quietly, Undramatically, after all, Grigg recruited an almost entirely new lineup for Woe. Perhaps that's why this quartet plays with such tenacity and economy. It's hard to fire people doing their jobs this unabashedly well. - Pitchfork 4/5
