WORMWITCH (Vancouver, Canada) - (Self-Titled) (sealed CD copy) (2024) Released by Profound LoreRecords in a 4-panel digipak w/8-page booklet.
Like black wings from an obsidian sky, WORMWITCH descended from the darkness in 2015, somewhere upon the rain-soaked woodlands of coastal British Columbia. Animated from the bones of several local Punk and Metal bands, the new entity set out to combine a Melodic Blackened Death assault with the ferocity and attitude of Crust Punk and Classic Rock 'n' Roll, jettisoning the burdens of ceremony and pomp that dominate the genre today.
WORMWITCH released their first demo,
'The Long Defeat' in 2015, and shortly after signed to
Prosthetic Records, under whom they released
'Strike Mortal Soil' (2017),
'Heaven That Dwells Within' (2019), and
'Wolf Hex' (2021).
The band have crafted their most focused and feral work yet. This album just exists in its raw, abrasive glory, daring you to keep up. Sometimes, you just need an album to punch you in the soul with sheer, inexorable attitude.
Now, with blades meticulously honed and tempered under the light of a feral Canadian moon, WORMWITCH emerges once more to offer their 4th full-length studio album. Simply self-titled, “Wormwitch” is a statement of a band coming into it’s own - a revelrous celebration of devilish speed, searing melody and diabolical intensity. -- Profound Lore Records – PFL-318
