new Wormwitch album out next week (listen to "Dancing In The Ashes")

March 28, 2019

Wormwitch‘s anticipated sophomore album Heaven That Dwells Within comes out next week (4/5) via Prosthetic (pre-order). We already posted lead single “Disciple of the Serpent Star,” and we’re now premiering another song from the album, “Dancing In The Ashes.” This one starts off with acoustic guitars and eerie clean vocals before turning into a vicious blend of thrash and black metal. Then enters vocalist Robin Harris’ venomous croak, and eventually a chanted hook and a couple highly melodic guitar solos. It manages to be both more evil and more accessible than most of Wormwitch’s debut. Here’s what the band tells us about it:

“Dancing in the Ashes,” like most of the songs on the record, is in reference to a secret mythology. It touches on themes of mourning and perseverance in the wake of a great tragedy. It is the romantic journey towards healing, or acceptance of one’s own ultimate death; but in some respects is also the simple story of a god who’s mortality has just been revealed to him, tearing across the cosmos on a quest for the soul of his lover among the ruins of a heaven brutalized by war.

Listen and watch the lyric video below.
