Following the recent announcement of their signing to Pest Records, French Melodic Death/Doom act WURMIAN has unveiled the second glimpse into its upcoming debut album, “Immemorial Shrine“, with the release of the new single, “Aeon Afterglows“: https://youtu.be/W9q5Rc-D3N8?si=XbaDzmp0pxzooEgg
Driven by icy melodies, thunderous riffs, and a deeply melancholic atmosphere, “Aeon Afterglows” is a deeply immersive track, combining mournful melodies and crushing heaviness with a poetic, introspective lyrical approach — a somber yet intense blend of early ’90s Melodic Death/Doom influences and modern production sensibility. The track is a stirring reflection on isolation and inner decay, carried by Antoine Scholtes‘ evocative songwriting and multi-instrumental performance. Lyrically, “Aeon Afterglows” paints a dreamlike journey through solitude, ancestral memory, and the dissolution of time
Taking inspiration from revered names like Katatonia, October Tide, Amorphis, and Edge of Sanity, Wurmian channels the genre’s most revered traditions while carving a distinct path into the present. “Aeon Afterglows” is both a love letter to the pioneers of melancholic extremity and a bold declaration of Wurmian‘s own voice.
The full album, “Immemorial Shrine“, will be released on April 6th, 2024, on CD via Pest Records. It features seven evocative tracks that explore existential dread and solitude through lush melodic layers, cavernous growls, and powerful doom-laden passages.
