Wurmian is a French one-man band Melodic Death/Doom Metal formed in 2024 by multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Antoine Scholtès via Pest records.

Immemorial Shrine is both a great debut and logical next step for Scholtès that demonstrates the versatility of his song and riff-writing abilities because Wurmian creates an immersive, melancholic soundscape that has incredibly haunting melodies with some seriously heavy-ass doom-laden riffs followed by some technical touch a lot of positive opinion confirm and proves that Immemorial Shrine is very good some people say on YouTube: Immemorial Shrine is an excellent album, which revives with great talent a style and energy of old school melodic death metal that has been little explored in recent years. An album that sounds as much 1995 as 2025. Put it next to Majesties' Vast Reaches Unclaimed: nothing better has been done over the last decade in this very special genre! Not to be missed and I validate this.

These seven tracks are very killer melodic death, that takes you to another dimension and you can feel specific soundscape with perfect cutting-edge technology sound quality (modern production), with doomy moments and atmospheric journey in brief Antoine Scholtès did a good job

Songs to pay attention “Haven”and “The Everflowing Stream”. I think are the best songs

In any case Immemorial Shrine is truly fantastic debut of Wurmian, Immemorial Shrine unfolds across seven compositions, guiding the listener through desolate and introspective soundscapes, where solitude and existential dread intertwine. With ethereal passages and rhythmic sections influenced by death metal, Immemorial Shrine masterfully balances nostalgia with modern production, ensuring a dynamic and deeply resonant experience …… I think you can add Immemorial Shrine to your collection.

Dodengod is an underground Death metal a band from Belgium, Heralds of a Dying Age is the second full-length album by Dodengod, seven years have passed after their debut Salvation

Dodengod has boost their sound in many aspects. It’s darker, it’s grinding, it’s an evolution in which they get rid of those doomy passages and some clean vocals to focus on a more overwhelming and crushing sound, and don’t forget the update in the lineup with the adding of the drummer Bart Bonne

To pay attention Breathe Deep the Dark this track delivers a brutal sound, and those raging grinding vocals increase the aggressive feeling like 90’s death metal bands. What an impressive wall of sound built on blast beats and rolls, infectious riffs, bestial vocals…........................ the quality is kept at high levels during the whole of the listening experience , The guitars gnash tons of rocks more or less complex riffs,and I think , you should have no no no  you must have  " Heralds of a Dying Age " in your collection.

Experimental Black Metal from Indonesia,this one-man band taking inspiration from famed black metal act Deathspell Omega, Falsus Evangelium seems determined to forge its own path in the territory of darkly dissonant black metal experimentation that the French act helped to pioneer. Falsus Evangelium debut work, the demo "Veneficvs, Barratry, et Magnvm Peccatvm"

taking inspiration from Deathspell Omega, Falsus Evangelium seems determined to forge its own path in the territory of black metal experimentation that the French act helped to pioneer. FE's debut work, the demo "Veneficvs, Barratry, et Magnvm Peccatvm"

the remarkablething the demois very short just four tracks and the major problem a lot of change of tempo up and down and the slow passages are repetitive which is annoying too much sudden shifts in tempo (Vaskania I and Vaskania II) because you can easily not like this concept but according to their style adapted experimental or avant-garde black metal it is not really black metal no no it is not black metal at all you really have to understand the style except  Vaskania IV  the track to pay attention ,but overall, they do well to keep it to their own sound

Falsus Evangelium doesn't just follow in the footsteps of its predecessors it pushes the boundaries of black metal, or rather their style, and offers a sonic landscape where experimentation and tradition merge to create something entirely new, but Falsus Evangelium unfortunatelymade a not very interesting start.
