Wormwood - Requiescat (2000)


Sludge-y gothic crust. Funereal organ/synth, two basses, two percussionists, hella vocalists, and no guitars. Wormwood and my old band Wake Up on Fire played a bunch of shows together in various US cities throughout the mid-2000s, and given the many things we had in common -- multiple drummers, too many vocalists, generally being a nightmarish ordeal for any given sound-person, plus a fair amount of dreadlocks -- ended up being pretty good band-homies. Feels like a goddamn lifetime ago.

Track listing:
1. Screwtape
2. Resurrect
3. Nothing
4. Descendant
5. The Endless Search for Food
6. Requiescat
7. Circus
8. Seven
9. Out Cold
10. Soundtrack

A passing sense of intuition doubted for the dark
For the worst and for the grey
A passing memory: secure, serene, sublime
