Since their formation, Worm Shepherd has carved out a fearsome reputation as one of deathcore’s most uncompromising forces. Known for their immersive soundscapes, technical ferocity, and genre-pushing ambition, the band quickly earned a devoted global following. Now, Worm Shepherd returns reinvigorated with the Dawn Of The Iconoclast EP – available February 20th via Unique Leader Records. A masterclass in blackened brutality, this record marks the band’s eagerly awaited comeback after a two-year hiatus and member shift — transforming them into what can only be described as a deathcore super group, featuring current/former members of Immortal Disfigurement, Ingested and Archaic Epidemic, in addition to the return of original drummer Leo McClain. Tre Perdue (guitars) comments: “I’m very excited about the new lineup. I feel like we have the most talented members that we’ve had to date. Harry (ex-Immortal Disfigurement) brings so much to the table for writing and meshes with my style so well. Tom (Ingested) is an absolute workforce on the bass and really adds some flare to the rhythm guitars with his aggressive style and tones. I’m also very excited that Leo (McClain – original drummer) is back in the band and having him back behind the kit for the Worm Shepherd sound gives some of that original tone from our first albums together. Us having this new sort of style that we’re doing, Ian (Archaic Epidemic) fits in perfectly with his aggressiveness and tonality of our new music, and I can’t wait to see what people think. This is the beginning of a new era for Worm Shepherd.” For a first preview of Dawn Of The Iconoclast, the video for the new single “Whispers Of A Buried Land” can be seen here: https://youtu.be/3y4_noIE9to Worm Shepherd has emerged sharper, heavier, and more focused than ever, and with new EP Dawn Of The Iconoclast, they’re ready to redefine their legacy.
