Bay Area ambient chamber dark rock act WORM OUROBOROS, which have been hailed as the best new Bay Area act to emerge this past year, have completed work on their self-titled debut album. Featuring members that have helped shape legendary Bay Area acts as THE GAULT (one of the greatest acts to ever emerge from the Bay Area) and AMBER ASYLUM, along with featuring members from down-tempo Bay Area death metal act WORLD EATER (not too hard to pinpoint who they are influenced by), Worm Ouroboros will bear familiar ground to those familiar with Amber Asylum and especially The Gault, since Worm Ouroboros bassist/singer Lorraine Rath (who also supplied the stunning artwork that will grace the album packaging, and who was likewise responsible for the stunning artwork that graced the debut HAMMERS OF MISFORTUNE album "The Bastard") was the one who shared songwriting duties with John Gossard (ASUNDER/WEAKLING) in The Gault respectively. ----- więcej ----- Also Worm Ouroboros conjures a sound picture reminiscent of classic 4AD acts as THIS MORTAL COIL and THE COCTEAU TWINS, just leaning more on the doomy edge of course. Where very delicately woven crafted structures counteract with segments of distorted down-tuned heaviness, it is through this interaction of the two opposing styles that help mould the ethereal and stretching atmospheric vibe of Worm Ouroboros where the drifting and floating aura creates a unique and special enigmatic presence.
