Wormphlegm - Tomb of the Ancient King

Suffocating torture and evil. - 99%

Bart, July 22nd, 2008

"Tomb of the Ancient King" by Wormphlegm literally takes no prisoners. It's has to be one of the most evil, torturous and suffocating funeral doom records I have ever heard. The stench of death and decay reeks from this hideous album. This insane soundtrack to hellish torture and butchery contains only three compositions. The opening track "Epejumalat Monet Tesse Muinen Palveltin Caucan Ja Lesse" is a 30 minutes long sonic nightmare with incredibly heavy guitar riffing, powerful sound and truly unsettling mood. I can tell the same about two following shorter tracks "Tomb of the Ancient King" and "Return of the Ice Age and the Tortyrant". One thing needs to be mentioned: absolutely nerve-wracking and repulsive vocals by Maggotworm Incinerator Abscess and Grubgorge Pestilent Diarrhoeator. Agonizing shrieks of torture and deep growls sounding like the echo from bottomless well. They bring fear and misery, they bring utter devastation of psyche. As an avid funeral doom enthusiast I'm always looking for the most painful and depressing musical acts and Wormphlegm easily tops them all. Can't wait for the new album of those two Finnish gentlemen... Bring me more sonic torture and pain, please!

Favourite tracks: all three, but I listen to "Return of the Ice Age and the Tortyrant" most often.
