OPHIDIAN MEMORY SIGNS WITH WORMHOLEDEATH RECORDS

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Iowa’s own melodic death metal force, Ophidian Memory, helmed by the visionary Blake Lamoureux, has joined forces with Wormholedeath to bring the dark brilliance of Carrion Lord to new audiences. The album is set to drop on 21 March 2025, marking an exciting chapter in the project’s evolution.

"Ophidian Memory is pleased to announce that it has signed with WormHoleDeath to bring Carrion Lord to the physical realm!" said Blake "As a solo project, it can be difficult to handle everything that comes with being a band and a business at the same time, and WormHoleDeath will help tremendously in my reach and output."

The Vision Behind Ophidian Memory

Ophidian Memory, born from the creative mind of Blake Lamoureux, uses a foundation of melodic death metal while seamlessly blending subgenres like black metal, thrash, progressive metal, and metalcore. Each album unfolds tales set in a sprawling fictional universe, where beings of light and dark are locked in eternal conflict—plotting to destroy humanity, each other, and Existence itself.

Exploring "Carrion Lord"

"Carrion Lord" is a dive into the dark and brutal, a relentless morphing display of new territories for Ophidian Memory, as well as brief moments that hearken to previous stages of its sound. Contextually, it is a record that expands in-depth on the narrative aspect of Existence, with new characters, factions, and locations to build a world primed for fantasy and metal enjoyers alike. It is a product of passion that shows the growth of Ophidian Memory over the last three years and is but another bar to reach above for the next record.

Sonically, "Carrion Lord" captures the raw aggression and intricate melodies fans expect while showcasing a fearless exploration of new dimensions. This release solidifies Ophidian Memory as a project that blends intensity, narrative depth, and an evolving sound.

The single "At the End of the Night" also includes the previously released tracks "Sorrow My World" and "Når Lyset Svikte."

EVIG NATT’s music is aggressive but subtle, noisy yet beautiful, a maelstrom of symphonic darkness that could only be described as Orchestral Gothic Doom Metal. From the unholy metal grounds of Karmøy, west Norway, this band follows in the footsteps of Einherjer and Enslaved, featuring ex-band members of both.

EVIG NATT was started as a studio project in 2003, by vocalist Kirsten Jørgensen and bassist Stein Sund. Soon after that, EVIG NATT recruited drummer Harald Magne Revheim.

In 2006 EVIG NATT signed with Omvina Records, and released their highly acclaimed debut album «I Am Silence» in early 2007.

EVIG NATT added Oskar Naley on vocals, Ruben Osnes, and Arne Marton Tangjerd on guitars for the recording of their darker and heavier second offering. After signing with Black Bards in 2009 “Darkland” was released to raving reviews in April 2010. This alliance saw EVIG NATT featured in national magazines worldwide, including Metal Hammer and Scream.

EVIG NATT released their third self-titled album «Evig Natt» on March 19th, 2016 and off the back of that got to tour countries such as Belgium and Japan.

EVIG NATT’s sound is unique, blending everything from progressive metal to black metal, and incorporates inspiration from bands like Anathema, My Dying Bride, Swallow The Sun, and The Provenance. This is a band to keep an eye out for!

Kirsten Jørgensen: Vocals

Stein Sund: Vocals and bass

Arne Marton Tangjerd: Guitar
