French Melodic Death Doom one-man band WURMIAN proudly presents the release of its highly anticipated debut album, “Immemorial Shrine“, out now via Pest Records and available at this location.

Crafted with painstaking care and emotional depth by multi-instrumentalist Antoine Scholtes, “Immemorial Shrine” is a brooding and immersive journey through sorrow, introspection, and existential desolation. The album’s seven tracks channel the spirit of 90s Melodic Death Doom evoking the raw emotional weight of Katatonia, October Tide, and Edge of Sanity, while embracing a distinctly personal and contemporary vision.

Following the previously released singles “Aeon Afterglows” and “Where Crimson Shadows Dwell“, the full album now unveils its complete sonic and lyrical narrative: a descent into forgotten memories, ancestral echoes, and the quiet majesty of grief. Melancholic melodies, cavernous growls, and crushing doom-laden riffs are interwoven with Scholtes‘ introspective lyricism and haunting atmospheres, making “Immemorial Shrine” a compelling listen for fans of both classic and modern Death Doom.

“Immemorial Shrine” is available now on CD via Pest Records featuring evocative artwork and packaging that complements the album’s lyrical themes and sonic depth.

Enter the shrine. Let the echoes guide you.
For fans of: Katatonia, October Tide, Amorphis, Edge of Sanity, early In Flames

Following the recent unveiling of their latest single, “Aeon Afterglows“, and the anticipation surrounding their debut album, French Melodic Death/Doom entity WURMIAN now invites listeners to fully immerse themselves in the depths of “Immemorial Shrine“.

Ahead of its official release on April 6th, 2024, “Immemorial Shrine” is now available for full streaming via Death Metal Promotion:

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.

Following the recent announcement of their signing to Pest Records, French Melodic Death/Doom act WURMIAN has unveiled the second glimpse into its upcoming debut album, “Immemorial Shrine“, with the release of the new single, “Aeon Afterglows“.

Driven by icy melodies, thunderous riffs, and a deeply melancholic atmosphere, “Aeon Afterglows” is a deeply immersive track, combining mournful melodies and crushing heaviness with a poetic, introspective lyrical approach — a somber yet intense blend of early ’90s Melodic Death/Doom influences and modern production sensibility. The track is a stirring reflection on isolation and inner decay, carried by Antoine Scholtes‘ evocative songwriting and multi-instrumental performance. Lyrically, “Aeon Afterglows” paints a dreamlike journey through solitude, ancestral memory, and the dissolution of time.

Taking inspiration from revered names like Katatonia, October Tide, Amorphis, and Edge of Sanity, Wurmian channels the genre’s most revered traditions while carving a distinct path into the present. “Aeon Afterglows” is both a love letter to the pioneers of melancholic extremity and a bold declaration of Wurmian‘s own voice.

The full album, “Immemorial Shrine“, will be released on April 6th, 2024, on CD via Pest Records. It features seven evocative tracks that explore existential dread and solitude through lush melodic layers, cavernous growls, and powerful doom-laden passages.

Pest Records proudly announces the signing of WURMIAN, a French one-man Melodic Death/Doom act, for the release of its debut album, “Immemorial Shrine“, scheduled for April 6th, 2025.

Founded in Clermont-Ferrand, France, in 2024, Wurmian is a project deeply rooted in the old-school Melodic Death/Doom tradition, drawing inspiration from seminal ’90s acts such as Katatonia, October Tide, Amorphis, Horrified, and elements reminiscent of Edge of Sanity and early In Flames. Behind this new endeavor is Antoine Scholtes, known for his acclaimed solo project Inherits the Void, where he carved out a name in the Melodic/Atmospheric Black Metal scene. With Wurmian, he now channels his creativity into a different yet equally emotive sonic realm, blending melody and brutality to craft an immersive and introspective experience.

“Immemorial Shrine” presents seven haunting compositions that transport listeners into isolated, desolate landscapes, reflecting themes of solitude and existential fear. While deeply influenced by the melancholic and crushing essence of ’90s Death/Doom, the album also integrates a modern touch, offering a dynamic interplay between ethereal melodies and rhythmic intensity drawn from Death Metal. The result is a rich and layered listening experience that remains nostalgic yet forward-thinking, appealing to both long-time genre enthusiasts and newer audiences alike.

Prepare to embark on this melancholic and immersive journey when “Immemorial Shrine” is unleashed on April 6th, 2025, via Pest Records. More details, including pre-order links and track previews, will be revealed soon!
