U.S.A's Worm have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a nekromantic form of blackened doom metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "Necropalace" which will b e released on February 13th by Century Media Records.
A very dark and symphonic sounding intro starts off the album while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Elements of funeral doom metal are also added into the slower sections of the songs along with the riffs also adding in a lot of melody and most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while spoken words can also be heard at times. Clean playing and acoustic guitars are also added in certain sections of the album along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
Death metal growls are also utilized at times along with a couple of songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. A lot of the music brings back the symphonic style of the mid 90's era, clear singing and spoken words can also be heard on a few tracks and the closing song also adds in some session work from Marty Friedman. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Occultism, Necromancy, Darkness and Death themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Worm and if you are a fan of blackened doom metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Necropalace" and "Blackheart". 8 out of 10.
