About this product
Ever since their emergence in early 2016 Hmltd, avid advocates of the Gesamtkunstwerk, have always striven to give audiences more. On their wildly ambitious second album, they are realising these aims on a truly epic scale.Created over the course of two years with a cast of 47 musicians - including a gospel choir and a 16-piece string orchestra - The Worm is less a concept album than a fully-fledged musical universe, transcending genre and medium. Set in a disorienting anachronistic version of Medieval England - as steeped in dystopian sci-fi fantasy as it is folklore and Old English mythology - it's part political polemic, part deeply moving psychological journey.Though always admired for their defiantly genre-agnostic approach, The Worm sees Hmltd pushing sonic experimentation to a whole new level, from dissonant free jazz riffing to vintage soul and English folk fusions to rock opera. Major musical touchpoints included Stravinsky's 'Rite Of Spring', Pink Floyd and Nina Simone's rendition of 'Sinnerman' and references for the world of The Worm included 14th century texts The Canterbury Tales and The Decameron, Aleksey German's 2013 sci-fi film Hard To Be A God, Bergman's The Seventh Seal, Tarkovsky's Andrei Rublev and the hopeful narrative arc of 90s mecha anime series 'Neon Genesis Evangelion'.1.

ON LIMITED BROWN / BONE MERGE W/ EVERGREEN & OLIVE GREEN SPLATTER VINYL!!! Worm's second album, the early 2020 Gloomlord, was a precursor to the massive impact that would make the world tremble on 2021's Foreverglade. Itself a large stylistic leap forward from Worm's debut album, Gloomlord brought the band to wider attention and the Floridian funeral doom contained within has since amassed a cult-like following of it's own.Until now Gloomlord has been a somewhat difficult score in the States and often unavailable. As such, with the band now firmly at home on 20 Buck Spin and looking to make it's first live appearances in 2023 it was time to sate the increasing demand and make Gloomlord easily available to the masses. As an added bonus the album has been completely re-mastered by Greg Chandler of the funereal legends Esoteric at Priory Recording Studios in the UK. And like the Foreverglade and Bluenothing vinyl releases, the reissued Gloomlord now comes with a huge poster insert. With those added aspects lead progenitor Phantom Slaughter considers this the definitive version of Gloomlord.InchGloomlord is one of those magnificent albums that is likely to hook the right kind of listener immediately on the sheer strength of it's holistic sound and vision, but it will continue to reveal careful detail the more and closer one listens.Inch -Last Rites
Hitting flat and hard with their bass-drums-guitar and vocals alignment, Flat Worms use a buzzing combo of blunt force and surreal lyrics to hammer the absurdity of the status quo, as it deserves. Our social experiment continues to implode before our eyes; Witness Marks offers both critique and compassion, with songs that corkscrew through shades of exhilarating, dizzying and ambiguous spaces in between times of crisis and complacency.1.
