Worm is a Florida-based extreme metal band founded in Miami in 2012 by the pseudonymous Phantom Slaughter, originally as a solo black metal project. The band shifted toward death/doom and funeral doom on the albums Gloomlord (2020) and Foreverglade (2021), the latter earning wide underground acclaim. Guitarist Wroth Septentrion (Phil Tougas) joined in 2021, and the duo signed to Century Media Records ahead of their fourth full-length, Necropalace (February 2026), which leans into symphonic black metal and features a guest solo by ex-Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman.
Worm announced as support act on Wolves in the Throne Room's 'Knights of Tiamat' European and UK tour, running late October through mid-November 2026, including dates in Stockholm and Oslo.
Worm announced the 'Total Possession Over America' headlining tour for May-June 2026, their first major US headline run, performing Necropalace in near-entirety each night.
Worm released their fourth full-length album Necropalace on February 13, 2026 via Century Media Records, receiving widespread critical praise.
Worm announced Necropalace and released the 12-minute title track as a music video - the band's first-ever video.
Worm signed to Century Media Records, moving up from underground label 20 Buck Spin, marking a significant step in the band's rise.
