Necropalace is a blackened, doom-laden foray into the horrific and the romantic, conjured by the ever-gestating vampiric entity known as Worm. Worm inscribed their first chapter with releases like 2021’s Foreverglade and the 2023 Starpath split with Dream Unending (both on 20 Buck Spin). They carried that vision onto the road with the 2023 Decibel Tour alongside Hulder and Devil Master, as well as runs with Gatecreeper and Frozen Soul. Through it all, Worm has embodied the sounds of darkness with a rare sense of ambition.

Mixed by Arthur Rizk (Blood Incantation, Power Trip) and featuring vaunted guitar master Marty Friedman on the album’s closing track, “Witchmoon”, Necropalace is the purest distillation yet of WORM’s self-branded “Nekromantic Black Doom”—rendered in blood-stained technicolor. A cinematic, unforgettable modern metal masterpiece.
