“Necromantic black doom” artist Worm has joined the Century Media Records roster. News of the signing arrives with the announcement of the band’s new full-length, Necropalace, due on February 13th. The album was produced by Charlie Koryn (Morbid Angel); with mixing and mastering by Arthur Rizk (King Diamond, Blood Incantation, Sumerlands, Cavalera, Soulfly). The album’s cover art was helmed by Andreas Marschall. The record’s closing track also features a guest spot by guitar virtuoso Marty Friedman. Vocalist Phantom Slaughter states:
“Welcome to the domain of dread known as NECROPALACE. This fortress has kept my memories and nightmares for centuries. Risen from ancient slumber, the curse is once again free to haunt starlit nights. While approaching the icy gates of Castle Ravenblood, a swirling mist begins to form. Phantom figures surround you. Enter if you dare but be warned, the darkness may consume your mortal soul forever. The ultimate evil has returned…”
Additionally, the group have also debuted a short film for the album’s title track. This marks the band’s first-ever music video. The clip was directed by Norman Cabrera and can be viewed below. Slaughter adds:
“Outside of exhuming obscure symphonic black metal tapes from 1996, much inspiration for Worm comes from my obsession with 80s/90s horror.”
Necropalace is available for pre-order now on physical and digital formats here.
