Wormed

Spanish metal band formed in Madrid in 1998. Each of their albums forms part of a concept revolving around Krighsu, "a timeline hacker entangled in manipulation by cosmic forces", though this is largely rendered moot by the genre's typical guttural vocals making the lyrics unintelligible. Individual instalments are Planisphærium (2003), Exodromos (2013), Krighsu (2016) and Omegon (2024). Unusually for the technical death metal sub-genre, their instrumental virtuosity is not an end in itself, but in service to a powerful musical vision. Vocalist Phlegeton also created the H R Giger-style artwork for the album covers. [CWa]
