With their acclaimed new album Necropalace now unleashed via Century Media Records, WORM have announced their first full tour in support of the record: TOTAL POSSESSION OF AMERICA.
Kicking off June 2 in Texas, the run will traverse the U.S., hitting both coasts and key cities across the Midwest and South. Each night will feature a setlist showcasing Necropalace in near entirety, alongside carefully selected local support acts.
Critically lauded as the band’s most ambitious and fully realized work to date, Necropalace continues WORM’s evolution of their signature “Necromantic Black Doom”. Drawing from across the spectrum of extreme metal, from the grandeur of ’90s symphonic black metal to the expressive technicality of ’80s shred—the album expands their sonic identity into something both cinematic and otherworldly.
The record exists within a vividly imagined world—opulent yet decaying, surreal yet intimate—where shadow and solitude intertwine. It’s a space where emotional wounds linger long after the physical have healed, and where atmosphere becomes as essential as aggression.
To accompany the release, WORM unveiled a trilogy of short films, marking the project’s first visual chapter. Directed in part by Norman Cabrera and Ted Nicolaou, the series brings the band’s dark, vampiric aesthetic to life through a cinematic lens. The trilogy concludes with “Witchmoon – The Infernal Masquerade”, featuring a guest appearance from Marty Friedman.
Produced by Charlie Koryn and mixed/mastered by Arthur Rizk, Necropalace stands as a towering statement, both a culmination and a transformation. It’s a record that doesn’t merely revisit the past, but refracts it into something hauntingly new.
