WORMPHLEGM - Tomb Of The Ancient King 2xLP

After 20 years, finally a new vinyl-edition of this immense classic!

Each song has something unique going for it (examples being a gladiatorial crowd chanting in some parts of the first song or a riff so unearthly and avant-garde it almost feels like it shouldn’t be fitted into the same category of the other melodies heard earlier in the album being repeated several times in the near entirety of the last track) that aren’t found in the other tracks which only makes each song more distinct from the rest that allocates for a present story un-empathetically told in each song that’s impossible for mere mortals to grasp.

This album is not your average listening experience. It demands the listener’s fullest attention as its contents slowly poison the very essence of whoever dares listens to it. What Wormphlegm was able to manage here is nothing less than a masterpiece.

It’s impossible to detail the mood and utter pitilessness this album was able to present itself. It feels almost as if a part of my very being has become permanently disjointed and antagonised by the sheer other-worldly feeling this album provoked, and I advice you or anyone who is even remotely serious about extreme music in general to give this album a chance.

Abandon hope, all ye who enter here....
