Worm (23) – Foreverglade

My metal discovery of the year. A stunning production - beautiful cover art, amazing death doom music with good sound and mastering, glossy vinyl. Superb all round, showing what can be done with metal if the lo-fi attitude is abandoned and studio possibilities fully embraced. This album drags us down into the swamp and who knew that lurking in the murk could be so rewarding. A raid on the unconscious.

Beautiful pressing. Vinyl is slightly translucent as well and the areas where the green and orange merge give off a magical hue. Sounds perfect, quiet and very dynamic. Artwork (with included giant poster) is stunning. This is a perfect metal album and will be a multi genre classic one day.

This album is one of the rare death/doom albums that I really, really enjoy. Doom is not my cup of tea. I generally enjoy faster tempos in my metal, but the tracks on this record sound ferocious at any speed. A lot of that is because of the vocals, which are brutal without getting stupidly guttural. Highly recommend.

dont hold the vinyl like that u dingus!! !! !

Great doom Deathmetal, lp sounds full and heavy, crisp and clear. Horns High!!

This album absolutely rules. Unfortunately, my copy has some really annoying pops on the last song. This is obviously a factory issue. I bought this directly from 20 Buck Spin. Brand new.

Absolutely phenomenal album. I never purchase metal records, and this is nearly exclusively due to the fact that every one that comes out sounds weak, high fidelity, and over-produced.

Death Metal in especial these days has nearly none of its original spine, gristle, blood; where thick, lo-fi recordings dense with background noise and sound as well as strange sounds to delight and terrify the listener once abounded we now hear stale and barely creative melodic nonsense or technical irritation more grating than nails on a chalkboard. This is none of that outrageous and ludicrous dead and beaten to largely orange juice levels of pulp horse.

Worm here has created a very slow paced death metal album in the vein of the old school death metal of Yore while still being menacingly melodic in short bursts in all the right sections of song. Personally I classify death metal into three different types: Mid-Tempo OSDM, High-Tempo Technical (Slam and Brutal also fit in here), and Slow-Tempo Death/Doom
And Cavern Death. This is a marvelous example of the burgeoning Cavern Death scene done extremely ionately, tastefully, and respectfully in the oldest styles.

You have gained my 100% appreciation, so far so in fact that I have purchased the most beautiful version of the album, a splendid blue/purple hue I was amazed was still available, and personally have taken to calling “Underground Lake”. The album is very thrilling and never once becomes droning, boring, or stale. This is difficult to achieve in a metal piece especially. Kudos to Worm. I hope to see many more great works from them! This will be the first metal album in my own collection behind the copy of “Sound of Perseverance” my girlfriend purchased me.

Very haunting, deeply ionate, slow, moving, and Cavernous.

10/10
