is the second studio album by Finnish death
metal band Wormlord, released
independently on May 8, 2026. With an approximate duration of 37-38 minutes and
9 tracks, the album consolidates the raw and aggressive sound of the Helsinki-based band, which has emerged
from the Finnish underground scene since 2019.
Wormlord
plays old-school death metal with strong Swedish
and classic Finnish influences from the 90s. characterized
by a heavy, powerful sound and the massive use of the famous Swedish HM-2 effects pedal. or HM-2W (Famous for its
"chainsaw" sound)
After making a name for
themselves on the underground scene with their debut album Open Wounds (Open Wounds was a nice stuff and great dose of OSDM and HM2 for olschooler and the beer drinker in
2023 and it’s remembered me to early Bloobath), the Helsinki
quartet confirms their talent in 2026 with this second full-length album,
propelled by the devastating singles Watch
Them Feed, Undying and Ivory Tow but
little bit bored this last one .
in any case from the
album the band delivers heavy, uncompromising death metal, heavily influenced
by the Scandinavian scene of the early 90s , signature sound (Buzzsaw) relies on a heavy, saturated, "chainsaw
guitar" tone. It's an absolute treat for fans of the classic distortion of
bands like early Bloobath and Dismember for the old melodic style
side and the impact potential of each track is maximized by catchy riffs and a
relentless rhythm section in favor of the incredible dynamism the only drawback
is the blatant lack of originality , they look like a tribute band or even a kind of Dismember and Bloodbath clone, but that's not a problem since there are many
bands that perfectly reproduce the music of the bands that motivate and
influence them. For example, in Brazil, there are many death metal bands that
resemble to Krisiun so much because
they reference them so heavily. The same goes for Carcass during the Reek of
Putrefaction and Symphonies of
Sickness era, as they were a major reference in grindcore for someone the
negative side If you already own classic Entombed
or Dismember albums, this one
doesn't offer any major innovations but for me no problem as it’s about old
school ………In any case don’t waste your fuckin time go add this album to your collection,
it’s recommended for those who enjoy Entombed,
Dismember, or Bloodbath (the classic Nordic death metal scene and OSDM fans)
