A deeply evocative journey through bleak soundscapes and mournful melodies, Immemorial Shrine conjures the spirit of early ’90s Melodic death/doom while embracing a contemporary production approach. The album unfurls in seven immersive tracks, each exploring themes of existential dread, solitude, and the inexorable passage of time. Antoine Scholtes‘ masterful composition and multi-instrumental execution breathe life into Wurmian’s vision, weaving icy harmonies with thunderous riffs and cavernous growls.
Taking inspiration from titans of melancholic extremity such as Katatonia, October Tide, Amorphis, and Edge of Sanity, Wurmian forges a sound that is both reverential and forward-thinking. Immemorial Shrine is an album that resonates with sorrow and intensity in equal measure, offering a deeply introspective yet sonically crushing experience. Let the shadows of Immemorial Shrine envelop you—listen now, and experience the weight of its haunting melodies and unrelenting darkness.
