WORMWOOD - RELEASE TODAY THE NEW ALBUM "ARKIVET"!
[2021.08.27]
The Swedish melodic folk/black metal-band WORMWOOD release today their new album "Arkivet" via Black Lodge Records!
The band comments: "The day has finally come for us to release ARKIVET. It's been a long and rocky journey.
When we wrote the songs and lyrics for ARKIVET we couldn't have known that the world would be brought to its knees so soon. But it did, and here we are.
Seven songs describing the end of what we've created, Individual demise, nature's force and man's stupidity."
WORMWOOD are one of the leading bands on the Swedish metal scene right now! The band follows up on the highly acclaimed "Nattarvet" which had the band soaring to the national charts and nominated for several awards. Their third offering "Arkivet" follows on the heels of this success and is a conceptually themed album about humanity's destructive force, the inability to adapt to our nature and our inevitable and well-deserved death.
"Take part of a journey through the past, present and future mistakes of man."
SHORT INFO ABOUT EACH SONG FROM THE BAND:
Arkivet (The Archive) is a document you write for those who want to make it easier for their close ones after their passing where you can tell how you want to have your funeral arranged, where important documents are located, last wishes, etc..
WORMWOOD uses this as a metaphor for the whole world. The last words to an already dead planet.
-The Archive
The last story written by the few who survived the apocalypse and what man didn't do to preserve what we had.
-Overgrowth
When nature topples our skyscrapers and when the warning signs from Earth were not heard.
-End of Message
The last message sent out to the endless black cosmos before our protagonist dies.
-My Northern Heart
An hymn to our ancestors and our previous unsullied land.
-Ensamheten
The sentimental and romantic view from a Nordic perspective as our lands fall into ruin.
-The Slow Drown
A slow and hopeless journey through the minds of an old lady with dementia.
-The Gentle Touch of Humanity
In the wake of humanities' destruction we follow the afterbirth of man's
collapse.
