Arizona’s King Ov Wyrms once again send a cold blast of black metal across the desert with their next video “Desolation Fog” – premiered exclusively through BraveWords – off the recently unleashed album The Womb Ov Borealis. This track is a heavy trudge through grim dark waters with its dragging guitars and swinging drums taking you through a walk through an ever-looming fog of decay.
Multi-instrumentalist Michael Oneirous Sanchez comments:
“‘Desolation Fog’ is a track we just knew we had to present off the album, it features some of my favourite lyrics and with the accompanied imagery presented in the lyric video, it was a perfect match. Sonically, this song is unrelenting and just so damn heavy, it catches you with the swinging groove and really locks you in before Ricky amps it up with savage blast beats and his intense footwork.”
King Ov Wyrms is a two-man project between Oneirous and drummer Ricky Williams with session guest spots from Derrek Page on bass. Typically, the music originates through Oneirous in a demo format from his personal studio, from there Williams comes in and adds to the source material which is usually just a guitar-based version of the song and maybe a drum machine. Once they have an agreed direction, they layer on all the additional studio pieces like bass and vocals along with the final renditions of the guitars and drums.
A cold breath of winter awaits you with this new offering, surely a welcome feeling in the dead summer heat.
Recommended for fans of Dark Funeral, Goatwhore and Belphegor, King Ov Wyrms' sophomore album The Womb Ov Borealis was released on October 6, 2023, and is available on Bandcamp.
