You will be raped mentally and anally. - 82%
Written by LifeInAFireBox on
February 9th, 2005
If you've read any of the other reviews, or even listen to
any death metal, you already have a decent idea of what Wormed
is about. Quite simply, they want to be the heaviest, craziest
fucking band in the world. Were they successful? Pretty much.
Take Cryptopsy's
brain-scattering technicality, the over all tone of Suffocation,
the rhythmic stuttering riffs of Meshuggah, and the vocals
of Anal Bleeding (probably the only band I've heard who's
vocals are remotely this low), and you have, for the most
part, Wormed.
After
all I'd heard about this band, I had very high expectations.
Fortunately, and even surprisingly, they were met. I really
only have two complaints about this album. As odd of a thing
as it is to say about a death metal CD, this is too short.
This is probably one of the shortest, if not THE shortest
LP I've ever seen. Finishing up in a mere (and just barely)
25 minutes, it might leave you saying ... "Where's the
rest?" The production is my other complaint, it's by
no means bad ... but, it is the only thing stopping this from
being the heaviest material this side of uranium - the guitar,
needs to be just a bit louder. And, despite it being heavier
than most people could comprehend, it's not always as "aggressive"
I guess, as say Origin. Of course, that's not a complaint,
because Origin can get old pretty fast due to that fact.
Okay
- I'm done complaining ... besides those pretty minor things,
this CD completely destroys. I like the way the drums sound,
raw and snappy, yet able to cut through the mix. The bass
sticks out, will give you plenty of kick, but won't get over
used in it's popping and stand-alone fills, like in other
bands that copied Cryptopsy. The guitars have more crunch
than a bag of Doritos (bad analogy ... but you get the point
...) and the vocals ...
It's
not really possible for someone to review this CD without
commenting on the vocals. I was actually not sure a human
could make a sound so low. Ironically, it's like giant WORM,
like from Star Wars or something ... the most gargantuan,
ugly, lard-assed worm ever, with the ability to make noises
someone similar to a human - at the same time though, he's
pissed off, and flailing around like a crazy motherfucker
... yeah, that's what the vocals sound like.
And
people mostly put this toward them being one of the heaviest
bands in existence - and yet, it does add a huge amount, but
you take that away, and there's plenty of bands on par. (And
I was never one to say just because something heavy, doesn't
mean it's good) But damn, it IS good. I also don't see why
people call this "experiemental" - it's really not
that strange. Minus the track "Fragments", and the
extremely weird, and out of place passage in "Geodesic
Dome" - there's nothing I'd call "experimental"
...
Unless
you consider their odd lyrical concept to be part of that.
I do enjoy that concept - it's different, it's cool, and it
somehow really fits the music.
Highlight
Tracks:
Geodesic
Dome - Actually has some of the lowest vocals of all. Technical
as Hell, has some good grooves, and of course the extremely
weird, yet surpringly enjoyable, spacey, emocore-ish sounding(?)
part. There's really nothing to compare that part to. Probably
the best song on the CD.
Yuem
- Weird, complex yet somehow catchy rhythme (Why can't Meshuggah
do that?) some great drum playing on display, and another
mind-numbing trip of technicality.
Final
thoughts: the primary weakness of this album is it's length.
It's TOO SHORT. Nothing gets time to gel, and you'll just
find yourself having to listen to it 948 times ... and unfortunately,
having done so, I still think the songs can sound alike at
times ... but, damn, it's original regardless of the bizzare
exprimental shit, and obviously one of the heaviest things
you will ever hear in your life ... if you like brutal death
metal, this is must.

A landmark in insanity - 80%
Written by stickyshooZ on October 7th, 2004
I’ve come to realize that dictionaries everywhere need
to be updated. Why? Because if you look up the word “chaos”
as well as all of its synonyms, there aren’t any pictures
of ‘Planisphaerium’ next to the definitions! This
album is purely murderous and utter brain rape insanity from
start to finish. Wormed’s first album is twenty five
minutes of razorblade death metal riffs, bludgeoning bass,
erratic double bass, heaps of heavy riffs, savage howls, and
of course, extra slabs of riffs.
Each
song pulsates with inhuman brutality, rage, and sheer technical
fervency that it makes my brain bleed out. If you’re
expecting something that will slow down and comfort you when
you’re deplored, then you are gravely mistaken. You’re
more likely to receive a lesion rather than a pat on the back.
‘Tunnel of Ions’ starts the album off with a sharp
little guitar riff, which detonates the fuse on this baby
and as a result, everything explodes into full out death metal
Hell. God damnit, my shit has been ruined by the iron fist
of booming bass, jaw dropping drum pummel, and super crunchy,
shredding guitar riffs.
Mutilating
riffs are always attacking you; there is no escape. The crunchy
and sharp guitars slash and tear your skin away and rip it
right off of your bones. There are many ultra technical riffs,
similar to bands like Cryptopsy and later Cannibal Corpse,
albeit they are not as punchy or possess as many hooks. The
real problem is that the guitars aren’t loud enough.
If you want to be battered and bashed, you need to have it
LOUD! I want to be smashed into the ground until I’m
suffocating and drowning in dominating riffs; not saved from
it by some musical lifeguard (the ones who were responsible
for the production of this album) who decided that the guitars
were too dangerous to play with.
Ooooooo
yay, while the lifeguards are busy with their dicks in their
hands, the bass runs free causing complete chaos. BOOM, BOOM,
BOOM, DIE! The bass is easily heard in the mix as it grabs
necks everywhere and smashes faces into the floor, leaving
nothing but a bloody stump. That bass could break your face
just by glancing at you if it wanted to. If anyone complained
about the bass not being loud enough and they are still breathing
today, then chances are that the bass deemed them unworthy
of death and that going through life as a doofus would be
much more of a fitting punishment.
Not
enough beat down for you yet? Well, just wait until you get
a taste of the throbbing drumming. Holy damn, this guy really
goes above and beyond when it comes to speed while managing
to keep it interesting. You know what I’m tired of?
All of those death metal bands that just use blast beats,
blast beats, and surprisingly, more blast beats…you
won’t ever find Wormed using that cliché method
in such a redundant manner like their ‘predecessors.’
The burley drum sound is like taking a hammer in face at the
speed of a chain gun.
Hey,
Schwarzenegger! Drop that chain gun and just carry Andy C.
in your pocket whenever you want to really terminate something.
This time no one will “be back.” This time, everyone
dies.
It’s
good to see that there is still some metal, especially death
metal (which generally takes the cake for recursive and dull
lyrics), that possesses lyrical intellect. What really strikes
me into awe is the bands singer, Phlegeton, which happens
to be one of the bands most distinguishable features. Holy
shit, this guy sounds like a more guttural version of Lord
Worm (Cryptopsy)! It’s almost impossible to believe
that a human is capable of producing such raging, skull-fucking
shrieks and growls. Listeners might want to take the safety
of their temporal lobes into consideration before getting
a taste of Phlegeton’s monstrous vocals.
I
dare anyone to read about the concept of this album (this
information can be obtained off of the band’s official
website) and give feasible testament that the album’s
story comes up short in the light of brilliance. Space, time,
evolution, dimensions, and planets are the main keys in this
unusual theme. Each song plays a unique roll in the story,
but I leave it up to you, the reader, to discover that for
yourself.
So,
you think Dying Fetus is brutal? Give this a listen and learn
what real insanity and violence sounds like. However, don’t
tell anyone that I recommended this, because I do not want
to be blamed for being an indirect factor for any brain damage
that may occur.

A taste of the strange...and I like it! - 84%
Written by Antikrist on September 15th, 2004
From the first minute of this album, I knew that this was
some wierd shit I was listening to. After all, bands that
play music about quantum physics and the like aren't exactly
going to be run-of-the-mill death metal. While the band puts
up a real death metal riff attack with some strange sounds,
it's also the vocals and drums that make this sound so strange.
The first thing that struck me was the sound of these vocals...in
fact the first thing I thought they sounded like was a giant
jungle lizard for some reason, and in fact these are about
as inhuman as humans can sound. The only fitting comparison
I can think of is the vocalist from Abandoned Grave of Germany.
I can see the Lord Worm comparison in terms of how inhuman
they sound, but I don't think this vocalist sounds much like
Lord Worm at all. And, yes, you won't understand one syllable
of the lyrics with these vocals. The drumming is nothing near
the typical death/grind drumming of today. The snare drum
for one sounds like it's one of those carribean metal drums
they play on the beach (except that it's only one tone). And
the drummer is not afraid to introduce some unique drumlines
into the mix apart from the traditional blast and grind beats.
At times he will even slow to half-pace drumming over a very
brutal riff making for some interesting listening. He also
introduces more original brutal drumlines into the mix at
times. The riffage itself comes off as brutally as you'd expect
from death metal, but it's not done in any conventional ways.
This is one thing you really have to hear to understand, but
don't expect any Deicide-worship, that's for sure. I don't
really know how to justify this album as worthy of listening
to except that if you like death metal at all and want to
hear something that you haven't heard before and probably
won't hear again (until Wormed release a follow-up album...hopefully
soon) then this is worthy of your time. It's a truly enjoyable
release.

Busting my review cherry... - 60%
Written by MetalCheese
on April 12th, 2004
The very first time I gave this album a spin,
I gave up on death metal right then and there, for 5 whole
minutes. I threw my hands up in disgust, and about a minute
in to "Tunnel Of Ions" I hopped off of my sofa,
and proclaimed to my overweight Tabby that...
"This
is noise! Nothing but noise!"
I
turned my craptastic CD player off, removed the disc, and
inserted it into it's case. I then returned to my sofa, and
began humming that godlike Sodom riff from "Tired And
Red" (You know the one!) in an effort to clear that chaotic
noise from my mind. Now, I know I'm supposed to be reviewing
the CD, and I will get to that in a second.... But first,
let me tell you a little something about myself. Most of the
time when I purchase a Metal CD, I dislike it... At first.
Unless it's some super happy sounding Power Metal band with
squeaky clean production and epic songstructures, I dislike
it. I don't know why (Besides the fact that I'm a strange
DOOD) seeing as most of favorite bands would be considered
highly inaccessible, but this is the case. Hell, maybe I'm
a fruitcake, but it usually takes me a few listens to appreciate
anything even REMOTELY intense.
Realizing
this about myself, I decided to give Wormed (Cool name) another
listen. I popped the CD back in and started to listen... And
while now I don't consider the music on "Planisphaerium"
to be noise, I wouldn't argue with someone who thought it
to be. After all, I'm a seasoned Metalhead, and I could barely
take this..... It's BROOTAL DEATH METAL BABY!
Now...*quick breath* on to the music. In case I didn't establish
it in my babbling above, this is some skullcrushing, disemboweling,
virgin raping stuff! I'll begin with the vocalist, or as I
like to call him, Human Garbage Disposal-man! (Not creative
enough for you? Well I'm writing this at 3 AM, so fuck right
off.) Now, Human Garbage Disposal-man's vocals are sicker
and more vomitous than your usual Death Metal vocalist. To
truly understand how INSANE this man's vocals are, imagine
that he swallows his microphone, and while he is gagging for
air, proceeds to stab himself in the neck with a writing utencil....
NOW, imagine the gurgly sounds he makes before killing over.
Increase the intensity of those sounds a couple of times over,
and spread them throughout a 30 minute album. Got it? And
don't even THINK about trying to make out what he's saying.
You'll surely give yourself a brain hemorrhage and YOU WILL
DIE! There are a few clean vocal breaks, but those only last
for seconds, and are pretty unintelligble too. What I haven't
established yet is if I dig these vocals or not... Well yeah,
I think they are pretty damn cool. As far as uniqueness goes,
Human Garbage Disposal Man is up there with Antti from Demillich.
The drums are mixed FAR TOO LOW in the mix, and are overpowered
by the guitars. The drums, when fully audible, sound horrid,
by the way..... I don't know what he's hitting (I don't know
a damn thing about drum pieces) Buuuuuuuut.... Remember that
album "St. Anger" by that one band.... Me..... Met.....
Ah, it's that Mallcore band that used to put out Mediocre
Thrash albums. Their name's not important, just that album.
Remember those ear-violating drums that sounded like trash
can lids, and pots and pans? Well the Wormed drummer likes
to play the pots and pans too, except he keeps his "drumming"
in the background. Thank you good fellow... And Lars, take
notes buddy!
... On second thought, don't take notes. Just retire. :)
The
guitars are WAY too distorted, which is a shame... They have
some decent riffs, but due to the insane distortion the riffs
tend to blend together and become indistinguishable from each
other. They bust out some awesome riffs throughout the album
(The song "Voxel Mitosis" for instance), but too
much of the time they become just a wall of fuzz, and they
also tend to reuse a lot of riffs throughout the album...
GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER, WORMED! The bass is playing... Fuck
knows. Bass audability is forbidden in Death Metal, don't
you know that sucka?
Iiiiiiin conclusion, I can say that I do not hate this album.
I find it to be mediocre, but I can definately see some potential
in these Wormed fellas. Perhaps with a thicker drum sound,
and the distortion turned down a few notches, these guys can
release something so kickass that the Cheesemeister is forced
to review due to sheer awesomeness. I do appreciate the lyrics
though (I'm sick of "death this" and "murder
that"... Space, psychosis, and human evolution is the
way to go!) Lyrics are pretty important to me, so I will award
"Planisphaerium" a generous 60% instead of the 50%
that I was going to give it.

Super brutal album with a crazy concept - 95%
Written by WinterElegy on April
5th, 2004
I don't know where to begin with this release. Wormed constantly
pummels you with a massivle onslaught of super brutal metal
throughout this release. There is some crazy concept behind
this album that deals with space travel and the human conciousness,
go to their site if you want to read it, it is very interesting.
It is always good to see some intellegent death metal these
days.
Anyway, every song on this cd will keep you awake and occupied.
Nothing boring about this cd, they keep the riffs changing
and will occasionally through in something really random that
still sounds badass. I forget the order of the songs, but
here is a breakdown on them anyway:
Tunnel
of Ion:
Fucking insane intro track. The singer has some super fucking
up low ass growl vocals which are amazing and fit really with
the music...sometimes. On this track the vocals are more growly
and intense which is really cool. This track pummels you with
random snare that sounds like a trashcan in the background.
Anyway it breaks down to some slow intense stuff and then
goes back into super pummeling mode. There are some really
quick stops which amplify the intensity of the proceeding
riffs
Ylem:
Starts off with some weird riff then goes into super intense
stuff, but has the riff has some like one second parts that
are just bass and drums to change things up. Little things
like that make this record great. The end gets slow with some
really scary growling.
Dehydrating:
Another brutal song that crushes your skull. There are some
awesome groove riffs somewhere in this song, then near then
end there is some..possibly talking...it is really cool whatever
it is.
Fragments:
Some crazy awesome 15 second clip of something random, but
it is really atmosphereic and spacy. I wish it were longer
and they did more things like this on the record because the
concept of it deals with space and what not, but as it is
it still fucking rocks.
Geodisic
Dome:
This song has more of the super low gutteral vocals that just
sound like "uuuuu" I dont like these as much, but
they are pretty good. There are cool riffs on this song and
it is also badass. Then in the middle this REALLY strange
part comes in with some high guitar notes and normal talking,
but it somehow totally flows with the song and makes it so
much cooler. Too bad it only lasts for like three seconds
Planispharieum:
The title track, of course it kicks ass, it starts with a
sledgehammer riff that pounds away at your brain and then
it goes into the fast brutal stuff these guys do best. Fucking
fast and intense, a combonation of the "uuuu" vocals
and the slightly more growly ones. Some interesting drumming
at about 3:00. Sounds almost tribal
then it has an awesome ending and unfortunately is over.
Voxel
Mitosis:
I have no idea what this or half the titles mean but it sounds
awesome. The intro riff is groovy, then the rest of the song
kicks ass too. It gets really groovy after 1:00. Awesome song
Pulses
in Rhombus Form:
The weirdest song title ever, but possibly the coolest. The
intro is pretty generic, but then some cool riffs come in
and this song becomes unique. Just when you think this song
is a generic wormed song, he throws in some different growl
vocals which sound very good. Then they have another cool
riff and you remember this was the best album you've heard
in a long time.
Damn
this album was so badass.

Holy shit. :O - 95%
Written by Spawnhorde on January
18th, 2004
Hands down, one of the best releases of 2003, Wormed's first
full length album, 'Planisphaerium', is fucking killer. I
have not one quarrel with this album's execution. The concept
has something to do with Humans' ultimate evolution in the
realm of Outer Space, but I'm not completely sure about the
full story. As always, though, lyrics aren't necessarily what
concerns me (first, at least). It's the sheer layers of sound
here. Everything is playing over everything else so damn well.
Macabre Mementos is already my favorite label, just for having
4 brutal bands worthy of getting 90s and above. This album
doesn't change a thing, and possibly improves my opinion of
the label's direction. As for instruments, the drums. Holy
shit. The drums are all over the place. Andy really knows
how to kill his set, pulling off huge fills in literally tiny
spaces in the song. The guitarist pulls off killer riffs constantly,
and there is always sort of a low guitar chug in the background,
as well. Oh, and don't even get me started about these vocals.
Easily one of my favorite styles of vocals, Wormed's Phlegeton
has these really distorted snoring/burping/screaming sound,
that sounds almost alien. This really adds to the feel of
the album. If Phlegeton's vocals were different, I would give
this a 75 or so. They're just that damn cool. If I have to
ask one thing of Wormed in their next release, it's that they
include keyboards. Now I KNOW this could really disappoint
some "total fucking brutal" people out there, but
this band NEEDS keyboards, but even if they didn't include
them, I would still love this band. I don't mean soaring keyboard
solos, I just mean "out there" keys, to add to the
spacey vibe. Overall, this album is total fucking slayage.
Buy
it NOW.

Brutal Death Metal done
right - 90%
Written by Megafury on July 17th,
2003
This truly is hyper ultra brutal death metal, which the band
describes their sound as. The heavy guitars scratch through
your ear drums, the powerful blast beats pound on your skull,
and those low growls from the gut sink into your head.
Although
the songs do tend to sound a little too similar, the band's
general sound is great. Every song is a chaotic mess of noise.
This is one of those albums that I listen straight from begining
to end, rather then skipping to what track I like becuase
the album as a whole works good as one really song that changes
grinding grooves throughout transition to another track.
If
you ever want to piss off your neighbors, put this album up
on full blast and this album will torture them. I could see
their ears getting ripped to shreds by all the songs here.
The
track Fragments is the only track that's completley different
form the whole album because it's not even really a song.
Just some 14 second sound clip.
Geodesic
Dome is also another track on the album with something a little
different thrown in the mix. It came to a surprise to me when,
after the blistering noise, I heard regular singing and calmer
music playing for a few seconds, then it got back to the brutal
music.
Fans
of Cephalic Carnage, Cryptopsy, Dying Fetus, and Pig Destroyer,
take my advice, get this album if you haven't already.

Sin duda alguna con este su tan esperado primer trabajo,
la manda madrileña se consagra como la mejor banda
a nivel brutal de la escena española, así
como la respuesta mas contundente al metal mas extremo que
llega desde el otro lado del charco. Mucho hemos tenido
que esperar para que esta joya de brutalidad insana llegara
a buen puerto, cambios de formación, problemas con
la grabación, etc... pero la espera no es que allá
merecido la espera, es que realmente la banda ha logrado
ponerse el status de dioses del genero en lo que a nuestro
país se refiere, y sin dudarlo ni un instante no
tienen que envidiar en nada, (asi de rotundo soy), a las
bandas foráneas. Aun recuerdo la primera vez que
escuche digamos el single adelanto de este su debut en formato
larga duración, y que Javi su guitarra me mostró
en uno de sus viajes a nuestras tierras... Las sensaciones
que me vinieron a la cabeza (y eso que no había pasado
aun por el proceso de masterizacion) fueron muchas, la banda
había logrado ser compacta, extrema, técnicamente
retorcida, ni apta para todos los oídos, aunque claro
esta aquella primera escucha del tema " VoXel Mitosis"
no era mas que eso una primera toma de contacto con el mundo
retorcido, caótico y visceral que el ahora cuarteto
de la capital del reino nos tenia preparado....Como bien
habéis oído ahora son cuarteto, y el cambio
en vez de ser a peor y perder intensidad por la falta de
un segundo guitarra es totalmente lo contrario, la banda
suena mas conjuntada, mas extrema, mas contundente y este
falta lo que ha hecho es incrementar la potencia si cabe.
Claro esta todo esto mencionado no es un peloteo barato,
ni mucho menos, son años de trabajos, de horas metidas
en el estudio, de lograr plasmar todas las influencias que
posee el cuarteto, lo cual no iba ser fácil, ya que
la variedad de influencias es tremenda, sobre todo si vemos
los proyectos paralelos que poseen algunos de ellos Nüll,
Unsane Crisis entre otros muchos. Pero claro estamos hablando
de autentica maquinas de matar, la perfecta maquinaria de
aniquilación se plasma en temas como el que da titulo
al álbum, o el ya mencionado "Voxel Mitosis",
" Tunnel Of Ions" etc.., temas repletos de continuos
cambios de tempo, esos típicos ritmos de parada y
vuelta a empezar, es decir pasar de un bombardeo de blast
beats a pasajes mas pesados, y vuelta a la rapidez, y todo
ello sin apenas inmutarse, donde los riffs hiper retorcidos
salidos de la guitarra de javi, son seguidos muy de cerca
por la pareja ritmica (aun no entiendo como el resto de
la banda puede seguir a esa maquina detrás del kit
de batería llamado Andy) formada por Andy del cual
ya hemos hablado maravillas en muchas ocasiones y que literalmente
se sale en este álbum, y el cual tiene un pareja
de lujo, la cual dicho sea de paso tiene un merito mas que
increíble de poder seguir a esta tormenta blastica
que forma este personajes, y me refiero a Guille, el cual
maneja el bajo como si fuera un apoyo a los riffs que escupen
las cuerdas de la guitarra, y se comporta como el perfecto
engranaje para que la maquina rítmica funcione a
las mil maravillas, pero claro tras este trio se encuentra
la voz cantante (y nunca mejor dicho) ese pequeño
gran hombre que tiene que tener el esófago lleno
de llagas, o una jauria de jabalis en su estomago, para
poder emitir una de las voces mas enfermizas que he escuchado
en mucho tiempo, profunda como el abismo del mismisimo infierno,
un cruce en Matti Way, Ruben Rosas, o Joe Wolf de Cleanflesh.
Musicalmente los englobaria en un encuentro entre lo mejor
de Cryptopsy, capaces de crear a la velocidad de la luz
y con una técnica casi perfecta los mas increíbles
ritmos con lo que conlleva eso, luego diria que en las partes
mas pesadas me recuerdan a Repudilation, Disgorge (usa),
Devourment and co, y sobre todo en la voz, pero ante todo
Wormed and conseguido un estilo propio, muy personal, basado
en sus mas que diferentes influencias y generalizado en
los continuos cambios de ritmo, (pocas bandas he visto con
tanta disparidad de tempos musicales) todo ello creando
una atmósfera caótica, retorcida y enrevesada
difícil de calificar. Pero por encima de todo y quizás
uno de sus fallos mas notables era lograr trasmitir lo que
consiguen en sus conciertos en un disco, es decir una produccion
acorde a su calidad y su vision musical, algo que en anteriores
trabajos no habían logrado, y aunque seguramente
como todo en la vida es mejorable han conseguido en este
Planispherium. Otro punto a favor es que se salen un poco
de todo la voragine de portadas llena de visceras, sangre
y demás tópicos del estilo y se decantan por
seguir su concepto principal basado en un futuro que realmente
si da miedo, donde la muerte es solo el comienzo y las dimensiones
paralelas que rodean el universo estan ahi esperándonos
(mas o menos....) y todo ello con la esfera ectoplasmica
como base de dicho concepto, lo cual sin duda alguna le
da una frescura y porque no decirlo una originalidad de
la cual esta falto dicho estilo. Y todo gracias a la mente
enfermiza y ultradimensional de Phlege cantante de la banda,
creador del concepto lirico, del diseño de la portada
asi como de todo lo que rodea al aspecto visual del álbum.
Poco mas se puede decir de una banda que en el escalafón
de la escena española (y yo diria que mundial, aunque
tampoco tenemos porque subirles demasiado el ego, que luego
ya se sabe, el próximo disco emo, jajá jajá
just kidding guys) esta un peldaño mas arriba que
el resto, y si no me crees hazte con este trabajo y ya me
diras.... POSIBLEMENTE LA MEJOR BANDA ESPAÑOLA DE
BRUTAL....!!

(10/10)
Wormed from Spain comes with new vortex creating a huge
explosions on brutal death planet by adding the technical
and proggressive elements. The vocalist Phlegeton strikes
with his deep guttural breath remind me to Mr. Ruben Rosas
of Devourment, then J.Oliver who plays guitars here and
Guillemoth on bass give repulsive distortion wave creating
a thick heavy sound somewhere between Skinless and Eternal
Suffering (Rip), creating the complex riffs and intense
in a same time, last is Andy C, the master of all, the source
of mass destruction, the battery of all elements, blast

He aquí el primer álbum de esta banda madrileña
de Brutal Death experimental formada por Phlegeton a las
voces, J.Oliver a la guitarra, Guillemoth al bajo y Andy
C. a la batería, la cúal hay que destacar
notablemente en este Planisphaerium ya que Andy ha demostrado
su técnica y rapidez dando un resultado demoledor,
y bueno, la batería no es solo lo mejor de este disco,
las composiciones de guitarra y de bajo son muy originales
y la voz de Phlegeton es un asesinato en estado puro, y
todo esto se demuestra escuchando cualquiera de los ocho
cortes, cortes en su sentido literal ya que temas como “Tunnel
Of Ions”, con unos riffts muy poderosos, “Voxel
Mitosis”,con una batería que parece una puta
ametralladora, o “Ylem” ,caracterizada por su
originalidad, son como cortes profundos en el cuello, sangrientos
y mortales, en definitiva, Wormed se afianza un lugar entre
los mejores grupos de Brutal Death y refuerzan más
aún si cabe la escena Brutal Death española
que con grupos como Avulsed, Human Mincer y Cerebral Efusión
entre otros estan dando un auge a la escena Brutal Death
española impresionante.

AIBA LA PUTA OSTIA, como bien dirían en mi tierra,
esta es la 1ª expresión que se me viene a la
cabeza nada más empezar a escuchar este cd. ULTRA
BRUTAL DEATH TECNICO? Si vamos y Doraemon es un puro Grinder.
Esto es mucho mas que Brutal Death, aúnan lo mejor
de la técnica de dicho estilo, partes ultra brutales,
“low gutural vocals” perfectos alternándolos
con alguna voz que otra aguda y ritmos que no dejan de sonar
en mis tímpanos mientras muevo mi puta cabeza al
son de esos ritmos “arrítmicos” como los
bautizaría. Sin duda la mejor grabación y
el mejor grupo que hay y ha habido en España de Brutal
Death en cuanto a brutalidad, ideas, sonido, conceptos,...
un disco que no debería de pasar desapercibido a
cualquier buen fan del Death Metal en su vena más
brutal. Grupos como Wormed junto con Human Mincer, Baalphegor,
Haemorrhage... hacen subir enteros a nuestra brutal escena(¿cuantas
veces he utilizado la palabra brutal?). Pero bueno vayamos
a la música que me enrollo más que mi profe
de Filosofia.8 TEMAZOS de este grupo Madrileño donde
el concepto lírico cobra gran importancia, donde
tratan temas sobre el espacio exterior pero de una manera
“muy interesante”, como muy técnica, que
viendo el libreto me han dejado más que flipado.
Musicalmente nos encontramos partes brutales donde la caña
no para, partes ultra técnicas, riffs de guitarras
increíbles, baterías inimaginables,...un disco
donde no puedes parar de hacer “mosh” como un
puto loco. Imaginate a unos Gorgasm,Cryptopsy (por la técnica)
junto a unos Disgorge,Brodequin(USA) (por su brutalidad),
añádele un poco de Immolation (por sus riffs)
y tendrás a unos Wormed. Sin duda el mejor disco
de lo que va de año 2003, una compra obligada.

Joder!!! Después de incontables retrasos aquí
tenemos el CD de debut del mejor grupo de Brutal Death Metal
que jamás ha habido en España. Bien, supongo
que todo el mundo se ha estado preguntando lo mismo: “Qué
cojones pasa con WORMED y su debut que supuestamente iba
a salir con Macabre Mementos?” Bueno... no más
preguntas estúpidas por favor, porque una vez que
tienes “Planisphaerium” en tus manos, adviertes
lo increibles que son el diseño e ilustraciones del
libreto, momento después esta sensación queda
en un segundo plano ensombrecida por el instante en el que
se escucha la primera nota que escupen los altavoces de
tu equipo estéreo, es entonces cuando realmente te
das cuenta de que toda la espera ha merecido la pena porque
este material lo aplasta todo!!! Las nuevas composiciones
son aún más retorcidas y complicadas que antes,
pero lo maravilloso del asunto es que no se hacen aburridas
para nada porque hay un montón de energía
intensa y sobre todo toneladas de brutalidad contenidas
en ellas. Las habilidades técnicas de los cuatro
músicos que forman el grupo son simplemente extraordinarias,
a destacar una vez más sobre todo la labor del batería
que es un maestro y también del vocalista que es
una especie de bestia humana sólo comparable con
Matti Way o Ruben Rosas, aunque con estilo propio. Acerca
del sonido diré que como todos bien sabrán
éste era el punto débil de WORMED porque un
buen sonido era todo lo que necesitaban para sacar a relucir
el auténtico potencial que tienen, y sólo
diré que han pasado el exámen con un 10 porque
este es el disco con mejor sonido que se ha grabado jamás
en este país en lo que a música extrema se
refiere. Si te gustan bandas como CRYPTOPSY, ORIGIN o GORGUTS
por sus tecnicismos y SUFFOCATION, DEVOURMENT y DISGORGE
(usa) por su brutalidad y pesadez, entonces imaginate una
mezcla perfecta entre todos ellos y sabrás más
o menos por donde van los tiros!!! En mi opinión
una banda como está se merece un jodido contrato
con un sello del calibre de Relapse Records como mínimo!!
Eres de esos que les gusta el Brutal Death Metal? Sí?
Entonces realmente necesitas esta joya! Y ahora mismo!!

Wormed is a band that has unearthed some serious fucking
sickness in a fresh new concept that has never been seen
to this extent in the world of brutal death metal. Let me
start out by giving you an idea of their idea: Wormed has
come to the realization that we are miniscule creatures
in a vast universe that sees us as exactly that. Exploring
the brute natural forces in space and portals to other dimensions,
they present their ideas in highly educated and scholarly
researched forms and fuse them w/ some of the most brutal
fucking slam grooves and ultra-guttural vox ever.
First
thing you'll notice is the very unorthodox cover art and
professional insert layout of the disc. There is not a trace
of traditional gore in sight, whether it be in image or
words. Reading the lyrics is like reading any book by Stephen
Hawking. It is a "galactic journey" that does
a much better job of instilling any kind of fear or emotion
than gore because #1: It swiftly takes you to a completely
different plane of existence, and #2: It opens your eyes
to the vast power and nature in a violent universe. This
trip is going to start out w/ "Tunnel of Ions".
First few things I noticed were a crunchy as phuck guitar
tone and that bass is actually being used as an instrument,
as opposed to just following along supporting massive detuned
power chords. The guitarwerk gives the music a spacey feel
right off the bat. The music itself is technikill in a "loose"
sort of way, flowing from point A to point B, encouraging
the listener to keep a close eye and ear as to what's going
on. Drum sound is very good, w/ a kick drum that packs solid
punch and a tight snare that maintains a "latin"
feel if you will. As I mentioned vox are unbelievably low
and take you to new depths of depravity. Tunnel of Ions
is a brilliantly structured song that slams you from ceiling
to floor w/out warning. At the 1:30 mark it unexpectedly
goes into a riff that truly defines the word "lurching".
Just giving you a taste, they retreat to the mainframe of
the song, then at 3:00 return to the lurcher, but slow it
down even more to crawling pace. Holey headbanging mania!
Careful not to overuse riffing, they leave it quickly and
thus berthing the rewind factor. "Geodesic Dome"
is another monster mosher of Spanish sickness. The bulk
of this song is unbelievable heavy. Starting out w/ speedy
chunk chords and struggling natural harmonics, it almost
breaks to a Cryptopsy-esque string-slap, then prepare for
the wrecking ball at 1:56. Guitars berst chunk then suddenly
stop while "Phlegeton" sustains his immense guttural
growl. Resume sickness w/ a surprising free-jazz break w/
spoken werd underneath. The song ends out w/ the heavy as
hell open chord abuse. "Voxel Mitosis" has genius
touches of latin drumming and very interesting bass lines.
"Ylem" could quite possibly be the flagship of
the album in terms of concept & heaviness. Jumping out
of the gate w/ a semi-polyrhythmic riff that drums follow
w/ a very odd-time beat (think Fear Factory's "Obsolete"
beat), it proceeds to a super-grind-athon mid-point that
just churns out "I am Ylem". Lyrix to this song
are superb. By the time "Planispherium" rolls
around, your cranial capacity to absorb Wormed's angle of
attack has exceeded it's limit. More amazing gutter-crunch
slam grooves w/ supporting hyper-speed double kick underneath
will have the grimace on you in no time flat. "Pulses
in Rhombus Forms"..Man, do these super-slams ever end?
The highlight of this song is actually not the chunk break,
but the escalating emotional guitar whirlwind vortex at
midpoint. "Dehydrating" employs creative use of
"harmonizing" and layering guttural vocals, proving
you can werk w/ more than one level of vocals down in the
pig-grunt area.
Wormed
is a band w/ undeniable potential and could very well change
the face value of brutal death. I see very good things in
the future for this band provided they "stick to their
guns" w/ their very refreshing and in-depth plunge
into the cosmic world and equally refreshing latin type
feel to their percussive work in their weighty blast of
brutal death.
Werds
of caution to lots of you however: This is not for your
every-day metal fan. The sheer ultra-brutal status and ultra-ill
vox may be enough to shun away fans of happy-go-lucky melodick
death, and power metal and black metal fans you can look
elsewhere. Without a doubt, Wormed is for fans of the "extreme"
punishment factor.

Pedazo de álbum debut que nos presenta esta banda
madrileña! Bajo el nombre de "Planisphaerium",
nos ofrecen un total de 8 temas de pura brutalidad al mejor
estilo americano. Para los que no conozcáis la banda
deciros que este grupo editó en 1999 el Mcd "Floating
Cadáver In The Monochrome" y un promo cd de
un tema en 2001 titulado "Voxel Mitosis", ambos
bastante bien acogidos en la escena. WORMED en cuestión
toca un Brutal Death técnico, alternando partes ultrarápidas
unidas a otras mas pesadas y contundentes, voces ultragorrinas
acojonantes que se te meten en el tímpano durante
días!, decir también que la producción
ha mejorado notablemente, es un sonido más "entendible"
y limpio que en sus anteriores trabajos, se ha notado el
fichaje por el sello japonés Macabre Mementos, al
igual cabe destacar la buena presentación del álbum.
A lo dicho si te gusta el Brutal Death americano con influencias
de DISGORGE (USA), DEVOURMENT , GORGASM, BRODEQUIN y demás...
no pierdas la oportunidad de hacerte con este disco! Además
apoyando a la escena española que está demostrando
la calidad de sus bandas dentro de la música extrema!

Want the sickest band on Earth?. Want the most technical
brutality unleashed in the way of four sick guys playing
hard and fast their instruments?. So, you were waiting for
the new Wormed work.This
spanish ultra brutal combo started out with "Floating
Cadaver In The Monochrome" some years ago, and then
shocked all spanish scene due their mega brutality. After
that the single track cd titled "Voxel Mitosis"
was out, an effort for continuing being name on the scene
while they were composing this new and mega sick work, that
finally was out through japanese Macabre Mementos. 8 tracks
on intense, relentless, mega sick, superb, brutal death
with inhuman low vocal frequencies, totally deranged and
with unstoppable and arythmic riffs, some of them new and
original, but for sure twisted as a tornado that blast out
your window. If you don't believe me, just take a preview
of the first track available on their new website, and then,
if you want the sickest of the sick, want to play this cd
as loud as your brain will explode. Mega brutality in the
vein of Disgorge (usa and Mex), CBT, Circle Of Dead Children,
Christ Denied, etc. A must!!!!

I know that this is a very anticipated release for many
who are into this maybe odd, but for sure brutal and good
genre (I'm still talking about death/grind/gore =)) and
finally by the help of Macabre Mementos, Wormeds debut album
is finally released. Before I put the cd into the stereo,
I first took the chance to look over the booklet and its
not very often that I see bands like in this genre that
puts some kind of effort and work into making a professional
and good-looking booklet, perfect design and the lyrics
starts off where their previous demos ended, space and its
mysteries once again. Not really that I understand that
much of the lyrics, but I although like to read them and
for every time I read them I find out new details that makes
me understand a little more about what Wormed is all about,
and of course, its nice to read something else than gore/porn
lyrics for a change.
Musically,
things have turned a bit more progressiv and technical,
but still catchy, brutal and groovy as their previous works.
They finally have what they deserved, a good soundproduction
and that has made a lot for Wormeds music, although the
drums could have been a little higher on the mix (they sometimes
turn a bit low when the drummer speeds ahead into really
fast grind, but the sound of the bassdrums are just perfect
with a lot of punch.) Phlegeton is better than ever, really
agressive pigstyled grunts that is pretty variated and going
deeper into low inhale vocals. One thing that I mentioned
in the review of Wormeds first demo, was the very good and
catchy groove parts,here they are even heavier and better,
really slammy and they really stick to you, definantly the
same style as Devourment, Repudilation etc. and it will
get you off your feet in no time.
Looking
at what I have written, I dont really know if there is so
much more to add, I have listened to this album for a week
or two and I must say that this is one of the best debut
fullengths that I have ever heard. I also would like to
say with all the Devourment/Disgorge-clones entering the
scene every now and then, its good to hear a band that in
someway has a style of their own and adds something new
and fresher to the underground. Also, perfect length, not
to short, not to long and there is also a cool thing in
the second that I wont mention here!
This
album gets 5 out of 5. Wormed has released one of the best
releases ever and I must say that 2003 has been a good year
for brutal music in general. THis is a very recommended
release that will be enjoyed by everyone who likes brutal
stuff that has a style a style of their own (at least I
think so).

A single track promo release from cosmic Death Metal group
Wormed, forming a stopgap until their full-length on Macabre
Mementos in early 2003. Demonstrating a clear progression
in terms of instrumentation and composition, Wormed offer
a four minute snapshot of their current development, showing
particularly an increased calibre of percussive innovation,
complementing cyclic riffs very much in the Suffocation
vein. The music is bass driven in a similar style to Disgorge
(USA), whilst the minimal usage of straight blasts is reminiscent
of Craig Smilowski's work in Immolation. Lyrically I believe
this work furthers the process of galactic metamorphosis
(see the interview for a better description) first began
on Floating Cadaver... A slightly louder, fuller production
would give the band the powerful, precise aesthetic they
require to best realise their concept; yet for work still
in the formative stages, this release gives an interesting
and exciting hint at what the long awaited full length holds.
More importantly it also sees a band beginning to carve
out and explore their own artistic niche.

a hablar un poco de ella... El
tema en cuestión fue grabado y mezclado en Mayo de
2001, y sigue el camino marcado por su demo CD debut "Floating
Cadaver In The Monochrome", un Brutal Death cañero,
aplastante, retorcido,...Aquí se percibe como la
banda va creciendo día a día, en tecnica,

Here's a very
cool demo M-CD by these crazed Spaniards. There seems to
be alot of quality coming from Spain's direction these days,
and this new band is proof that there's still more to come.
The general feel of this album reminded me of their fellow
country-mates, Fermento. Wormed utilize the same brutal
and insane style as the afformentioned band, so in other
words, this is pretty relentless, semi-technical brutal
death. Pretty straighforward stuff most of the time. Nice
and grinding, with some great gurgling vocals. One pretty
unique thing about these guys is the subject matter... It's
all about mathematical space and dimensions, weird stuff,
but it somehow fits in with the 'precision' of the music.
The sound production is THICK and full of bass. This thing
almost blew my speakers appart! The palm muting is deadly,
the sound is enough to make them vibrate, I had to put extra
screws round the back of my speakers to stop them from shaking
all the time. Well, anyway, enough of my personal escapades
in do-it-yourself. This M-CD kicks ass. Really something
worth looking out for... Expect a killer full length soon,
hopefully.
Review from DeathGrind
Webzine
This
band is from Spain, but they seem to have that Brutal New
York deathgrind style down. It's a pretty safe bet that
they whorshipped Suffocation, Immolation, and some Incantation
thrown in. They have some pretty cool riffs, but we've all
heard this before. Alot better, and alot worse. The drums
could stand to be louder, but the guitars sound killer.
Deep ass vocals of corpse, no screams. They have alot of
cathcy mosh-type parts, and cool blasts, but nothing to
jump up and down over.

WORMED Floating
Cadaver in the Monochrome - - - - New comer in the Spanish
today’s scene that signed on Macabre Mementos lately
and I’m not the slightest surprised by that because
it is exactly the genre of bands that fit to Macabre Mementos.
Musically, apart from the sound in general which is far
from being that extraordinary, one can easily apprehend
the avalanche of blast beating brutal death metal that WORMED
just fucking rules in. I don’t think there exists so
much bands as brutal as them in Spain. You can expect a
cross between DISGORGE and DEVOURMENT as far as brutality
is concerned. The design reminds me VIRULENCE at all, a
sort of space-structure focus. Yeah, it is that.

WORMED is the
Great new comer band from Spain. Phlegeton (vocals), Javier
Oliver (guitars), Dani (guitars), Guillemoth (bass), and
Andy C (drum) formed them in October 1998. They play brutal
death metal with some difference style than the other brutal
death metal bands. They combine technical playing, hyperblasting
beats and some groovy parts. So it doesn't sound boring.
And in the second song "Ectoplasmic...D.1" the
rhythm become slow in the middle of the song for a while
then come back with brutal riffs that make this song becomes
a unique and interesting songs. The vocal is cool, horrible,
I like it, guttural deep growling like a human is vomiting
their bowels. This MCD featuring 5 trax with perfect sound
recording and mixing. Right now, they still find record
that is interested to release and distribute their MCD.
And they have new songs, more brutal than these songs in
this MCD for their newest album. So for record label...
don't hesitate to sign with this fuckin brutal band... contract
them right now!!!! For brutal fans... what are you waiting
for... contact them to order this MCD now....!!

"Wormed",
the feeling one has upon realization that he is insignificant
in the universal scheme: as a worm inside an intestine.
It's from the crux of this nihilistic recognition that Spanish
band Wormed compose five hymns highlighting the universal
irrelevance of man, aesthetically choosing to expound upon
the works of similar composers, such as Columbia's Internal
Suffering, in their post-Suffocation muted chord structuralism.
Taking this hallowed aesthetic, Wormed approach it with
a respect seldom encountered in today's 'slam-death' crop.
Lyrically the work deals with the creation of inter-stellar
gateways, galaxy formation and other cosmic wonders and
is written from an informed and distinctly scientific approach
rather than the non researched, fantastical ramblings of
Egyptology espoused by Iron Maiden on their Powerslave opus.
A sadly rare occurrence then, in a genre typified by crude,
mindless porno-gore lyrics, something unique, which has
been created with thought and artistic intent.
Musically
scholars of the aforementioned Suffocation institute; the
band link syncopated chromatic phrases with periods of intense,
resonating chord progression which are reminiscent of those
employed by Immolation. Vocals adopt more of a percussive
role that an expressive outlet, yet the over the top delivery
finds home in the other-worldliness of the concept - representing
the timeless, astronomical events of the universe. The 'cadaver'
is perhaps the listener, who has stumbled (or floated) unwittingly
to a place where he is able to observe.
Two
minor criticisms: firstly the production, which spoils the
otherwise technically sound playing with a sometimes overly
loud snare, needs to be tidied up for the full length. Secondly,
the inclusion of a few 'slam' riffs, although not over used,
may increase accessibility, yet perhaps detracts from the
conceptual whole by allowing the listener to identify with
the music solely via the neck, rather than the brain. Hopefully
Wormed won't fall prey to such genre cliches on the full-length.
In
conclusion then, a very promising demo from one of the few
bands approaching this genre in an artistically unique and
respectful way. The astrology concept avoids becoming overly
pretentious or gimmick-like due to the sincerity and ability
with which the lyrics are realized (especially in wake of
the language barrier). Packaged excellently for a self-release,
the artwork, courtesy of singer Phlegeton, is a stunning
visualization of the lyrical subject and is testament to
the band's hardworking ethos. Now established as creative
leaders of the Spanish underground, we’ll have to see
how Wormed translates this potential excellence into album
form. Highly recommended...

There is something going on in the country of Spain. Death
Metal scene is full of positive reviews of KEVLAR SKIN.
My favorite band from this country was REINCARNATION, until
I receive FLOATING CADAVER IN THE MONOCHROME. I must confess
that didn’t wait for this CD, because nobody treats
serious a band from scene without any traditions. It was
a great mistake of mine. WORMED made me conscious of this
fact. Death Metal maniacs should appreciate it. It’s
15 minutes of technically good, fresh sounded music. Those
guys have a good workshop, which is visible since the first
track. Their abilities are fine and they tend to play death.
It’s impossible to name the best track, the whole stuff
is extra. Those of you who like walls of sound will be satisfied,
this CD is a solid death metal. They can create a superb
material, no doubt about it.

For a couple of years ago I got in contact with Guillemoth
from Wormed and I got the chance to review them, but something
happened and it took a long time before I got their first
demo in the mail. Due to some personal problems, Guillemoth
explained to me in a mail, but its good now and I got what
I wanted.
Five young guys from Spain comes out of nowhere and totally
crushes with their first demo. The soundquality isnt the
best, the drums are too low and its a little muffled in
overall, BUT, its heavy and brutal as fuck. The music could
be compared to Devourment, Repudilation, Disgorge (US) and
Goretrade. Its a lot of diversion between furious blastbeats
and ultraheavy moshpit parts that I would like to dance
to for a lifetime. They have an acoustic passage in one
of the songs that comes as a suprise, but as a nice suprise,
very original indeed. The vocals are guttural and very deep,
a nice present for someone you care about!
The thing that really makes Wormed stand out from many other
bands in the same genre, is their lyrics that are all about
space, dimensions, black holes and stuff like that. Nice
to see that not all bands of this type uses and worships
gore lyrics. Their lyrics will keep you up late at night
reading, ´cos this is very interesting stuff, at least
I think so hehe.
This is the only brutal band that I have heard from Spain,
except for maybe Fermento, that I'm not ultrasure are from
Spain, but I think so. On just four songs these guys have
made a great expression on me and it would be nice to find
out if there are any other similar bands like Wormed from
Spain.
This album gets 4 out of 5. Even if the production is crappy,
I still enjoy what Wormed has offered me these short minutes.
Some of the best stuff that I have heard for a while, sure
to become something big in the underground scene!

För
ungefär ett år sedan, så snackade jag med
Guillemoth som lirar bas i Wormed, om jag kunde få
beställa en skiva med dom. Men det tog ett bra tag
innan jag fick något svar i huvudtaget och jag gav
upp hoppet. Sen så en dag, så damp den ner i
brevlådan och där fick jag även med ett
brev från Guillemoth där han förklarade
att han hade brutit armen och helt enkelt inte haft tid.
Men fan, no hard feelings, killen mår bättre
nu och jag har fått det jag ville ha.
Fem unga grabbar från Spanien kommer här och
verkligen krossar med sin första demo. Ska väl
säga att ljudet inte är det bästa. Trummorna
hörs lite för lite, men det är ändå
tungt som fan med mycket bas och tyngd. Musiken kan liknas
vid arga gossar som Devourment, Repudilation, Disgorge (USA)
och Goretrade. Det varieras ganska så bra mellan mangel
och ultratunga mosh- partier som verkligen får mig
att vilja bjuda upp till skön dans. Det kikar även
förbi en akustisk passage i en av låtarna och
det gör detta mer orginellt och bra, icke ofta man
hör det. Packa även ner lite sjukdjupa och gutturala
muller, så har du en fin present som du kan ge till
någon du håller kär!
Det som skiljer Wormed ganska så rejält från
dom flesta dödsbanden är lyriken som inte alls
lutar åt splatter, porr eller mördar hållet.
Nej, nej, här snackar vi skumma grejer som olika dimensioner,
svarta hål, rymden etc. Något som skulle få
den som gillar underlig lyrik att ligga uppe länge
in på natten och läsa med lykta och ljus.
Detta är nog det enda brutal bandet jag har hört
från Spanien, förutom Fermento (som jag är
95 % säker på att dom kommer från samma
land som Wormed) och det är synd faktiskt. Hade det
funnits mer band som på bara fyra låtar (+ ett
bonusspår) som gör ett sånt här jäkla
bra intryck på mig, så hade jag blivit förbannat
glad.
Låtar som krossar: "Ectoplasmic Iconosphere (D.1)",
"Ectoplasmic Iconosphere (D.2)" och "Floating
cadaver in the monochrome".
Denna skiva får 4 i betyg. Med en inte alltför
bra kvalité, men ändå med en ofantlig
tyngd, så visar Wormed upp sina spikförsedda
nävar rejält. Detta kommer definitivt bli ett
av dom där stora namnen i underground scenen! Maila
Guillemoth för mer info: spectrafusion@yahoo.se.
