Worm Ouroboros - Debut Album Details


Bay Area ambient chamber dark rock act Worm Ouroboros have completed work on their self-titled debut album.

Featuring members that have helped shape legendary Bay Area acts as The Gault (one of the greatest acts to ever emerge from the Bay Area) and Amber Asylum, along with featuring members from down-tempo Bay Area death metal act World Eater (not too hard to pinpoint who they are influenced by), Worm Ouroboros will bear familiar ground to those familiar with Amber Asylum and especially The Gault, since Worm Ouroboros bassist/singer Lorraine Rath (who also supplied the stunning artwork that will grace the album packaging, and who was likewise responsible for the stunning artwork that graced the debut Hammers Of Misfortune album "The Bastard") was the one who shared songwriting duties with John Gossard (Asunder/Weakling) in The Gault respectively. Also Worm Ouroboros conjures a sound picture reminiscent of classic 4AD acts as This Mortal Coil and The Cocteau Twins, along with reminiscing the vibe of such classic enigmas like 3rd And The Mortal, As Divine Grace, and even This Empty Flow (the post-Thergothon act). Just more dreary and doomy of course as one could say Worm Ouroboros can appeal to doom fans who embrace such essential artists as Asunder, and Unholy.

Where very delicately woven crafted structures counteract with segments of distorted down-tuned heaviness, it is through this interaction of the two opposing styles that help mold the ethereal and flowing atmospheric vibe of Worm Ouroboros where the drifting and floating aura of the trio's debut album creates a unique and special enigmatic presence; one that is ultimately very dark and haunting.


Recorded at Earhammer Studios (Asunder, Laudanum), tracklisting for the Worm Ouroboros debut goes as follows:

01. Through Glass
02. A Birth A Death
03. Winter
04. Goldeneye
05. Failing Moon
06. Riverbed
07. Brittle Heart
08. Pearls
09. A Death A Birth


An MP3 of the epic track "Riverbed" can be downloaded here (.mp3) or the band's MySpace page. The Worm Ouroboros debut will be released somewhere in October/early November through Profound Lore Records.

This band seems worth checking out. Yeah, I think it's really cool that they have connections to Weakling and Hammers of Misfortune.
