Worm announce new album ‘Necropalace,’ share 10-minute title track & short film

The shapeshifting Florida metal band Worm have announced a new album, Necropalace, due February 13 via Century Media (pre-order). It’s their first release for the label, it follows their 2023 split with Dream Unending, Starpath, and here’s what vocalist Phantom Slaughter had to say about it:

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…

The first single is the 10-minute title track, which comes with a short film/music video directed by Norman Cabrera. The song is a mini epic, a multi-part suite with elements of black metal, death metal, goth, prog, symphonic music, and more, and it’s perfectly suited for the cinematic video that it soundtracks. Check it out below.
