Woe, Is Me have premiered a new video for their new song “Here’s To Me (A Story To Tell Pt. 2).” This track is expected to appear on the band’s upcoming album.
The group told Metal Injection the following:
“As far as ‘Here’s To Me (A Story To Tell Pt. 2)‘ we feel like this is the perfect first single. It pretty much has a little of everything that you can expect from this album and the direction we are going. We’re excited about the future and stoked to finally release new music.”
In other news, the band have also addressed the departures of vocalist/keyboardist Ben Ferris and bassist Cory Ferris. They said the following:
“…We want to state officially that the band has parted ways with the Ferris brothers. Despite what you may or may not have read before now, decisions like this are never easy. We have no ill-will towards Ben and Cory and wish them the best, but we do want to explain things from our perspective.
We have worked extremely hard over the last year on this new album. The amount of dedication and passion for the music has been our driving force, because that’s what brought us here to begin with; the love of music.
Without going into detail about their involvement in the creation of this album, we’ll simply say that the album would’ve sounded the same whether they were in the band during the writing process or not. The lack of interest and participation in something the rest of us sacrificed so much for ultimately led to deciding to continue on as just the five of us.”
“In addition to this, we’d like to clear up some things we’ve seen circulating about our canceled dates in Japan. Most importantly, we absolutely hated canceling the shows and apologize emphatically to everyone who was negatively impacted. But to dispel any rumors, from the time these shows were booked up to now, the band has had no direct contact with the promoter of the shows.
Furthermore, the narrative that the band stole/kept money from the promoter is 100% false, as we never actually received any money, including any form of a deposit. This lie has unfortunately been perpetuated by individuals who know it isn’t true, and it is extremely disappointing. Again, we apologize for canceling.”
