Woe of Tyrants began with several goals in mind, the main being to create heavy, intelligent music that can promote a positive message alongside a chaotic and technical sound. Beginning in early 2004, the group has undergone several line-up changes, as the sacrifices that come with increasing success are certainly not for everyone. WoT released their critically acclaimed debut "Behold the Lion" through Tribunal Records in June of 2007, and after only two months on the shelves the band was already in talks with several major players in the independent label market. In October of 2007, Woe of Tyrants signed a multi-album deal with Metal Blade Records (As I Lay Dying, Black Dahlia Murder, Cannibal Corpse, Gwar, etc), and immediately began writing what will be their first worldwide release entitled "Kingdom of Might", slated to hit shelves in January of 2009. The album was engineered in its entirety by Joey Sturgis of Foundation Studios (The Devil Wears Prada, Gwen Stacy, Brother Von Doom). While the group has not toured an extensive amount as of yet, thanks to a new partnership with the all purpose Chicago based company Heavy Hitter, Inc (The Human Abstract, Arsis, Through the Eyes of the Dead), WoT plans to be anywhere and everywhere to get this album into the hands of true fans of artistic expression worldwide...
Woe of Tyrants are comprised of a group averaging 21 years of age, and with this new record will be traveling the globe attempting to contribute to the cause that is 'real metal', without gimmicks, nor any regard for what is 'scene'...
