Swedish melodic/folk/black metallers Wormwood have released the first single and video, "Ro", from the upcoming fourth album, The Star. The album will hit the stores on 31 May via Black Lodge Records. Wormwood is undoubtedly one of the leading bands on the Swedish metal scene right now. The band now returns straight into the hot air to follow up the highly praised predecessors Nattarvet and Arkivet.
The release of The Star, concludes the magnificent trilogy about death (Nattarvet, Arkivet, The Star). Nattarvet was about the grim famine that plagued the people in the 19th-century Nordic region. Arkivet focused on the inevitable downfall of mankind and The Star tells the story of the end of the universe.
There is no doubt that Wormwood musically has taken another big step forward, both in terms of songwriting and performance. Nothing is left to chance, and everything is refined down to the smallest detail, and this without sacrificing the band's unmistakable raw sound. The album was mixed and mastered by the renowned metal producer Sverker Widgren from Wing Studios in Stockholm, Sweden.
About "Ro": You are a comet observing the disintegration of Earth and space itself. You can now finally rest. The video was directed by Isak Skagerström Sindre. Link
