PALACE OF WORMS California-based Avant-garde Metal project Palace of Worms are teasing a track from the forthcoming full-length release Cabal — due out on the 3rd of February on acephale winter productions. Judging from the preview track—available to listen to here—this is going to be a stellar release and not to be missed and not quite like anything else around, with some strong Doom vibes and an instantly attention grabbing guitar tone. The album is available to pre-order from the link above.

Having to pay gigantic sums for international postage is a real gear grinder.

While it’s our default setting to link Bandcamp pages in the case of new and pre-releases, we thought it would be helpful to add some online stores that might provide a useful alternative.
