Woorms - Twitching, As Prey

Woorms - Twitching, As Prey

Woorms have crawled out of a sludge swamp and rolled in the
 corpse of rock before unleashing their second album upon us. The
 sludge elementis still the driving source but the songs are infused
 with ideas and atmospherics that bring a more doomy and psych feel - 
combined with a hardcore aggression that keeps the menace swirling 
around the tracks.

This is an album that demands to be played in one sitting. You are
carried along in this soundscape from start to finish and as a cohesive
whole blends into an almost epic concept album.

Vocals are screamed, muttered, crooned and chanted with effective
and creepy results. The sound is of course low-end but with many
different effects and playing styles, the middle end of the musical
scales are well catered for. The production is just great - everything
sounds full on without losing clarity or aggression.

Drones and sound effects are used along with quieter passages to bring
the pace and feel down - not to a peaceful interlude though – 
this is the good shit.


Thanks to Aaron for sending me the promo.
