Wormfood are a band from France that plays an avant garde mixture of gothic and black metal and this is a review of their 2016album "L' Envers" which was released by Apathia Records.
Spoken word parts start off the album and after the intro the music goes into a heavy and fast black metal direction that also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats before slowing down and mixing in avant garde style keyboards and the vocals start out in more of a spoken fashion.
After awhile black metal screams and clean singing goth style vocals are added onto the recording and the songs also bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and a good amount of the tracks are very long and epic in length and all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them and clean playing can also be heard in certain sections of the recording and some songs also bring in psychedelic elements.
Wormfood plays a musical style that takes an avant garde form of black metal and mixes it with goth to create a style of their own, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover perversions and an acid view on society.
In my opinion Wormfood are a very great sounding mixture of goth and avant garde black metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Serviteur Du Roi" "Gone On the Hoist" and "Poisonne". 8 out of 10.
