The Sleeping Sun, by Worm Shepherd

The Sleeping Sun

by Worm Shepherd

supported by

Metallurgical Fire The vocals alone on the first track will blow your mind. Worm Shepherd is a next level band, frightening and very dynamic. Some of the best music in any metal sub genre. The Sleeping Sun is a truly exceptional EP that hits harder than most full length albums. This is their best release, and I can’t wait for the next one. Favorite track: The Frozen Lake, Pt. II (The Ruined).

Abyssius Murkraken Worm Shepherd is a blackened Death core band from the USA.
This EP feels to me as if the band just keeps getting better and better after each release,
A much slower and melodic approach, more refined but heavy and as grizzly as ever.
Release it physically damn it! This EP is worth the purchase! Favorite track: The Broken Earth.

aelia The Frozen Lake Pt. II is absolutely unreal. This EP, which is longer than some albums, could probably destroy a whole planet. So. Fucking. Heavy. ☄️

nick elliott These guys continue to blow my mind. Let them headline Coachella already Favorite track: The Frozen Lake, Pt. II (The Ruined).

sachavonkarl74 I close my eyes and listen... I hear Lorna Shore, so nothing wrong with that, right? Favorite track: The Broken Earth.

1.	The Frozen Lake, Pt. II (The Ruined) 07:35 video	lyrics
My face pressed against the earth I heard the chorus of the leaves. Within the whistling gale a hoarse mother's shriek took shape And oh how he rejoiced behind that door overgrown. Bellowing in a sickly enfeebled tone The ashen smoke fills my body as my screams reach no further than his doorstep I waited and waited for the shackles to unbind The winds begin to crack my skin Still I lie in desolation Speak of the weeping the wailing song of anguish ever present in the atmosphere Acceptance heaves me through a whirlwind of tragic cinemas that repeat and extend Death looms over every corner of this keep Overseen by the weeping watcher Still I lie in desolation Speak of the weeping the wailing song of anguish ever present in the atmosphere Forbid me not from discovery For it is redemption that I seek The horrors behind this door haunt me still. There lies behind the bloodline hanged alive damned to suffocation Damned to look on as the birds chew upon their frantic kin Open the sky If this is true, then I relinquish the blood and the salt Come forth looming raven Speak of the weeping the song of anguish The winds begin to crack my skin carrying with them the ashes of the slain Never does the sun set with their cries absent Eating every soul that spills upon the black carpet that sits behind the crimson gate Cold Dead Hands Now Fold

about

With their latest release, the dynamic songwriting duo and nucleus of WORM SHEPHERD, Devin Duarte & Tre Perdue, hit Black Gold again with new EP 'The Sleeping Sun'. The release explores slower tempos and broader soundscapes than it's predecessors and has a noticeably melancholic undertone throughout.
Invoking a new side to their already broad repertoire, Worm Shepherd prove that their strengths lie in dynamics rather than pure speed (though they have plenty of that too!).

Ashen

Before Ashen, I thought they were overrated. Deathcore bands seem to have a capacity to evolve quickly. I’ve seen quite a few bands in this genre grow exponentially from one album to the next, and Ashen is a particularly strong example. Metallurgical Fire

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed. Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help. Gruso
