WORM Signs To Century Media, Streams Blackened Epic “Necropalace”

If you’re a fan of ’90s symphonic black metal to the technicality of ’80s shred metal, then you’re about to cream jeans big time.

Four years since their lauded full-length Foreverglade, Worm has emerged with their next studio album and first release with Century Media Records, Necropalace. It sounds like it’s something folks in the Dimmu Borgir and Old Man’s Child realm would’ve cooked up, and I am very here for it.

On the new record and first single “Necropalace”, Worm mastermind Phantom Slaughter said: “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…”

“Necropalace” is available today alongside Worm’s first ever official music video and short film. “Outside of exhuming obscure symphonic black metal tapes from 1996, much inspiration for Worm comes from my obsession with 80s/90s horror,” said Phantom Slaughter.

Worm were finally able to secure the perfect team for their astounding film debut: Director Norman Cabrera (Danzig, Walking Dead, Fright Night II), Producer Maya Kay, Colorist Alex Nicolaou (Drab Majesty), all with direction from Ted Nicolaou (TerrorVision, Subspecies) meticulously brought Worm’s dark fantasy into a reality.

Pre-orders are available here. Oh, and one more thing – the album closer “Witchmoon: The Infernal Masquerade” features Marty Friedman. Yes, that Marty Friedman.
