Just a few days after finishing all the visual entertaining for »Well« by Uncle Woe, here is more amazing animation and big riff soundtrack marvel for a track from the album »Oblivion And Further Disaster«. Along with the Yob-isms, along come hints of Amenra, Cult Of Luna and Meshuggah, but blended together and ingested inside something that will always be Uncle Woe, such is the uniqueness and strength in the style that has been crafted. Powerful poetic lyrics, eyecatching visuals brilliantly sequenced, an immense song. An all round great presentation here, and it gives me great pleasure to be able to share more Uncle Woe on Owlripper.

“Black milk from blackened breast to feed the clotted sun. Bleed and writhe. Bits of sick. Old cloth is wet and wrung. I’m loath to learn indifferent tides now rush to meet you there. How cold has been the sun to me; how heavy here the wear. I’d sing, “a pox upon you,” now, but holy I’m no fun. I breathe and forage where it’s damp. How burdened are my lungs. I try to mend the looking glass with knives which are not mine. How painful is it now to see through eyes I cannot find. How great has been my misery. Here buried with no hands, like flowers pressed between great seas, I would that we had died.”

The album is now released on Owlripper and Uncle Woe Bandcamps (with vinyl at the latter); plus available on cassette via Doomshire Tapes.

Uncle Woe about »Oblivion And Further Disaster«:

“In the early stages of writing and arranging this batch of songs, this was going to be a side project. Once everything was fleshed out enough to hear as a whole album though, it was obviously the next Uncle Woe record.

Enter Marc Whitworth on drums; whose absolutely precise and articulate frantic mastery behind the kit immediately helped make this the most compelling and urgent Uncle Woe record to date.

Our thanks to Doomshire Tapes for finding this album fit for winding up on spools of brown gold; sweet, glorious analogue cassette tape.
