Enigmatic practitioners of blackened goth death doom, WORM, continue to add to their air of mystery en route to the February 13th arrival of their highly-anticipated full length, Necropalace. 

Building out their consuming world of Vampiric extremity with previous previews in "Blackheart" and the album's title track, the latest offering boasts an elite assist, with none other than virtuoso Marty Friedman taking up his guitar for the 14-minute epic. Constructing a grandiose meld of neoclassical, traditional heavy metal and black, death and doom, the finished result is an enormous finale that fuses baroque with brutality. 

Offering some insight to the overall vision and source material for WORM's unholy aesthetic, Phantom Slaughter further explained, “Outside of exhuming obscure symphonic black metal tapes from 1996, much inspiration for Worm comes from my obsession with 80s/90s horror."

Aligning with producer Charlie Koryn (Morbid Angel) and a final and  master from the venerated Arthur Rizk, the collection of music offers a spiraling soundtrack that toes the line between enchantment and exorcism. 

Necropalace, the new album from WORM arrives February 13th via Century Media. Pre-orders are now available - HERE
