“With Vilest Worms to Dwell” is an epic and majestic powerhouse! This album mixes Folk, Pagan Metal with Death Metal tendencies. First time on vinyl!

This album is a powerhouse, there, we said it... With flashes of Therion mixed with melodic death metal tendencies, “With Vilest of Worms to Dwell” erupts in all its majestic and epic magnitude and it is still a great pleasure to listen to 22 years after its initial release in 2001. Hollenthon demonstrate their symphonic elements from the get go, and the first three tracks are genius compositions that, although incredible, demand patience from the listener, and then have a big reward. Hollenthon have crafted an accessible record, but you hear new bits with each listening session.

The guitar work on this album is fairly understated, preferring to give way to the choirs and orchestral arrangements. These symphonic elements are truly the driving force of the music, and are woven together with the traditional band instruments in such a way that it is at once apparent how much thought has gone into the work.

“With Vilest of Worms to Dwell” is a landmark release in symphonic metal, and really shows what can be achieved when symphonic elements are put to good use in metal.
