Pennsylvania metalcore band Execution Day<\/strong> has released a stripped-down version of their most popular single, “Woe<\/a>.” The band has also shared a performance video for the reimagined song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We chose to reimagine ‘Woe’ not only because it is our most popular song to date, but also for the fact of how relatable the lyrics are,<\/em>” says vocalist Dylan Dively. “We felt that the lyrics could be better represented in a less aggressive, non threatening way since this song is about a sensitive subject; depression and anxiety.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original version of “Woe” is a very in-your-face, fast-paced song with guttural vocals and crowd-killing riffs. Execution Day made a complete 180 and went back to the basics, reverting the track to acoustic guitar and light percussion, while still maintaining a soaring hook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We felt like a ‘less is more’ approach was absolutely needed to accomplish what we wanted to get across with the message of the song,<\/em>” says Dively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
