New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Clawing their way out from the clay with a renewed purpose informed by lessons of life and the road, unwilling to lay in peace; WORMWITCH stands exhumed and stinking under a feral Canadian moon, primed for a relentless black metal sonic attack. The band returns with their third long-player titled Wolf Hex: the wolf representing mental fortitude, lupine independence and the left hand path; the hex representing the approach of magickal thought.
Stacked full of grandiose melody, tempered by true organic heavy metal anthems, Wolf Hex is a modern occult, future classic. Distinctly Canadian, distinctly diabolical, and distinctly WORMWITCH; the album traverses folk, wades through black metal and embraces the fantastical whilst staying absolutely true to themselves throughout.
Recorded in their own studio in Vancouver, Wolf Hex was engineered by Tim Creviston and the band themselves, before being mastered by Brad Boatright. The ten track album seethes with visceral blackened death metal delivered at a relentless pace, conjuring mysticism and magick at every turn.
WORMWITCH has been - from its inception - a vehicle towards personal freedom. The artwork for Wolf Hex - created by vocalist,
Robin Harris, - includes an inverted fleur de lis representing their anti-authority, anti-state, and anti-religion stance. Started unceremoniously from the remains of a hardcore punk band that mostly centered around themes of self hate and existential despair, WORMWITCH have relentlessly cut the fat, searching for a sound and dowsing for enlightenment.
After touring North
America with the likes of Suffocation, Necrot, Midnight, Bat, Cloak, and Uada, WORMWITCH retreated into the shadows. The time out allowed for a metamorphosis of sorts, the band emerging into a changed landscape in 2021 are themselves fundamentally altered.
No mercy, ride or die, WORMWITCH will evolve forever.
Wolf Hex will be released via Prosthetic Records on August 27.
