Sweden's Wormwood have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an atmospheric and melodic style of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "The Star" which will be released in may by Black Lodge Records.
Atmospheric sounding keyboards start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them.
Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams while growls can also be heard at times and when the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the album more of a raw feeling along with the riffs also adding in a lot of melody.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some tracks also adding in a small amount of clean playing. Clear vocals are also added into certain sections of the album, spoken word parts and female vocals can also be heard briefly as well as the closing track also adding in some acoustic guitars and a couple of the songs are also very long and epic in length. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the end of the universe.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Wormwood and if you are a fan of atmospheric and melodic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Stjarnfall" "Galactic Blood" and "Ro". 8 out of 10.
