As I get older I get more and more discerning about metal, especially metal that I want to put my name on as a reviewer. I’m known mostly as the old school guy, the retro rock and stoner metal and 80s thrash guy, but there’s a huge piece of my heart that falls for black and death metal. And over the past few years Inherits The Void has been really nailing that certain something I look for in modern black metal. So where I found out that Antoine Scholtes, the main behind that was putting his energies into a new project called Wurmian, and that it would be focused on more death/doom I was instantly intrigued…only to have my colleague Colin over at Nine Circles grab the promo and churn out a very positive review. Well, joke’s on you Colin¹, because now I have Immemorial Shrine on CD which makes it a valid entry for the site and, guess what? I might even like it better than the already stellar work Scholtes is doing in Inherits The Void.
