Worm Ouroboros formed in June 2007 by Lorraine Rath and Jessica Way. With both musicians already having experience within the Bay Area heavy music scene \u2014 Way was previously part of metal band World Eater and Rath being a part of the influential Amber Asylum lineup as well as being co-mastermind of The Gault \u2014 Worm Ouroboros set out to create music which explores the lines between fragility and strength, darkness and light, harmony and discord. Drawing inspiration from many places, including metal, doom, folk, progressive, and dark ambient genres, they have created their own space; a creeping, dark landscape full of murky dreams and emotions.<\/p>\n

With their third full-length, What Graceless Dawn<\/em>, \u00a0they have brought into existence their deepest and most moving work to date. \u00a0The follow-up to 2012\u2019s critically-lauded Come The Thaw<\/em> LP finds the Oakland-based trio of bassist\/vocalist Lorraine Rath (ex-The Gault, Amber Asylum), guitarist\/vocalist Jessica Way (Barren Harvest), and drummer Aesop Dekker (Vhol, ex-Agalloch, Ludicra) elevating the Worm Ouroboros sound to a new echelon of sophistication through their amalgam of morose, 4AD-esque doom, introspective death rock, dark ambient, and enchanting chamber music. Through obsessive bass lines, ambient guitar movements, layers and overtones, the alluring vocal intertwining between Rath and Way, and Dekker\u2019s subtle-yet-procession-like percussion, What Graceless Dawn<\/em> is a sonic vision of tragedy and despair, one of the saddest, most crippling, and gut-wrenching releases in the realm of heavy, dark, introspective music to bring the curtain down on the year.<\/p>\n
