Bay-area avantgarde metal entity\u00a0PALACE OF WORMS<\/strong>\u00a0will be releasing their new album,\u00a0“Cabal”<\/strong>, on\u00a0February 3rd 2022\u00a0<\/strong>via\u00a0Acephale Winter Productions<\/strong>.

Check out the premiere of the new single “When the Stones Come Tumbling Down<\/strong>“. Stream the song\u00a0HERE<\/a><\/strong>.

Operating since 2007, California-based Avant Metal project\u00a0PALACE OF WORMS<\/strong>\u00a0has a diverse and accomplished oeuvre that reflects its creator\u2019s eccentric and often bizarre tastes and sensibilities. From the project\u2019s early origins as a raging and misanthropic Black Metal band to its more recent releases which incorporate influences such as Doom, Death, Progressive, Ambient, and Electronica, each POW release is a completely. Sole member\u00a0Nicholas \u201cBalan\u201d Katich<\/strong>\u00a0sees no point in marinating in the stagnant pools of orthodoxy and believes evolution to be the true path.

\u201cCabal\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>is the latest and final full-length statement from the project.

Keeping with past tendencies towards unpredictability\u00a0\u201cCabal\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0presents a wholly different approach than the mostly Post-Black Metal sound of the previous full-length \u201cThe Ladder\u201d. Where \u201cThe Ladder\u201d flirted with Progressive Rock and Doom sounds\u00a0\u201cCabal\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0fully embraces these influences and throws elements of Deathrock, Electronica, Folk, and Death Metal into the quagmire. What results is the most personal and accomplished work the project has ever produced and its themes reflect its creator\u2019s worldview after 4 decades of life. It casts the past in darkness but also looks cautiously forward, ever searching for the light to guide its narrator into a hopeful future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally\u00a0PALACE OF WORMS<\/strong>\u00a0was solely the work of\u00a0Balan<\/strong>, but on\u00a0\u201cCabal\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0he is joined by an accomplished cast of co-conspirators including\u00a0Trevor Deschryver\u00a0<\/strong>(Lycus<\/strong>,\u00a0Silence in the Snow<\/strong>,\u00a0Deafheaven<\/strong>),\u00a0Sammy Fielding<\/strong>\u00a0(Noctooa<\/strong>),\u00a0Roberto Martinelli<\/strong>\u00a0(Botanist<\/strong>),\u00a0Dylan Neal\u00a0<\/strong>(Thief<\/strong>),\u00a0Shelby\u00a0Lermo<\/strong>\u00a0(Vastum<\/strong>,\u00a0Ulthar<\/strong>),\u00a0Hunter Burgan<\/strong>\u00a0(AFI<\/strong>),\u00a0Andy Way<\/strong>\u00a0(Thoabath<\/strong>,\u00a0Sutekh Hexen<\/strong>),\u00a0Elizabeth Gladding<\/strong>\u00a0(Lotus Thief,<\/strong>\u00a0Forlesen<\/strong>),\u00a0Meghan Wood<\/strong>\u00a0(Crown of Asteria<\/strong>) and more.

\u201cCabal\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0presents kaleidoscopic visions of subterranean carnival netherworlds, pale winter skies dotted with Ravens a flight, moonlit necropolises which play host to clandestine, and diabolical rituals, and the metaphorical immolation of the ego from which the Phoenix of transcendence and ecstatic freedom will arise. Light and dark refracting through the broken prism of the mind\u2019s eye over 8 tracks.

Descend into the depths of the subterranean lair of the\u00a0\u201cCabal\u201d<\/strong>: the place where the monsters live.
