WORMWOOD, one of the leading bands in the Swedish metal scene, releases their new album, The Star. This album follows their highly praised predecessors, Nattarvet and Arkivet, which catapulted the band up the national charts and earned them numerous prestigious award nominations.
The Star concludes WORMWOOD's magnificent trilogy about death. Nattarvet depicted the grim famine that plagued 19th-century Nordic people, while Arkivet focused on the inevitable downfall of mankind. The Star tells the story of the end of the universe, marking the band's most accurate, personal, and melancholic work to date. The album features all of WORMWOOD's trademarks: serene passages, furious chaos, and heart-wrenching melodies, highlighting their musical growth in songwriting and performance.

This new album takes listeners on a profound journey through a dying universe, representing the last breath of a cosmos we perhaps don't deserve. With their previous albums Nattarvet and Arkivet achieving national chart success and industry award nominations, WORMWOOD has firmly established itself as a leading force in Swedish metal.
Production:
Renowned metal producer Sverker Widgren from Wing Studios in Stockholm handled the mixing and mastering of The Star, ensuring a sound experience that matches the grandiose vision of the band.
Band Statement:
