Swedish melodic black metal outfit Wormwood have announced that their upcoming studio effort, Arkivet, will now be released on August 27th. The band said of the date change:

“Due to the spring’s problems in the Suez Canal and Covid-19, we unfortunately have to announce that the Arkivet release will be postponed. This is because the vinyl pressing plant hasn’t been able to deliver on time, due to a lack of materials from the factories.

This is terribly sad news for us, but unfortunately beyond our ability to speed up. The new release date is set for August 27th. We apologize to all of you who have pre-ordered the album, but urge you to wait another month. It will be worth it.”

The record will be released via Black Lodge Records. Pre-orders are available at this location. You can can catch the music video for their latest track, “The Archive”, below. The clip was made by Svartna Film.
