Floridian blackened doom metal band WORM have announced a brand new album!

Titled Necropalace, the record is scheduled to be released on February 13th, 2026, via their new home at Century Media Records.

Serving as the follow-up to their 2021 full-length Foreverglade, the album intends to showcase the band’s signature ‘Necromantic Black Doom’ sound while expanding into symphonic black metal and virtuosic shred influences.

The album was produced by Charlie Koryn (MORBID ANGEL) and was mixed/mastered by Arthur Rizk (KING DIAMOND, BLOOD INCANTATION, SUMERLANDS, CAVALERA, SOULFLY).

Speaking about the album, Phantom Slaughter says, “welcome to the domain of dread known as Necropalace. This fortress has kept my memories and nightmares for centuries. Risen from ancient slumber, the curse is once again free to haunt starlit nights. While approaching the icy gates of Castle Ravenblood, a swirling mist begins to form. Phantom figures surround you. Enter if you dare but be warned, the darkness may consume your mortal soul forever. The ultimate evil has returned…”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, WORM have released their first ever music video and short film for the title track; Necropalace. Director Norman Cabrera (DANZIG, Walking Dead, Fright Night II), producer Maya Kay, colorist Alex Nicolaou (DRAB MAJESTY), all with direction from Ted Nicolaou (TerrorVision, Subspecies) all worked with the band on bringing the vision to life.

Speaking about the visual concept, Phantom Slaughter shares, “outside of exhuming obscure symphonic black metal tapes from 1996, much inspiration for WORM comes from my obsession with 80s/90s horror.”
