From the deepest pit of the American underground cult crawls the GRAVEWURM, relentlessly pursuing their muse since 1990: only the darkest, ugliest, absolutely swampiest blackdeath. Now with their seventh and final album "Blood of the Pentagram," GRAVEWURM continue to perfect that muse, engrossingly hypnotizing with an addictive minimalism that's simply bred for headbanging. Darker than ever, uglier than ever, and ever obedient to his majesty at the swamp - drink deep the Blood of the Pentagram!

Recommended for diehards of GOATLORD, SODOM, HELLHAMMER, NUNSLAUGHTER, early VARATHRON, and SATHANAS/BATHYM!

GRAVEWURM started in October 1990 under the name DOMINION to spew forth a blend of death and doom metal in a similar regard to their influences at the time. Goatlord, Paradise Lost, Asphyx, Saint Vitus, Cathedral and their biggest influence Hellhammer, lead to the creation of sinister riffs, dirge-like atmospheres and embraced the emerging minimalist school of thought concerning song creation. After two putrid rehearsal tapes, the band changed monikers to Gravewurm due to it's change in writing style and attitude toward the underground. While retaining some of their doom laden influences, the additon of more aggression in their songs paved way for a presence of depressive atmospheres with an infernal grasp of darkened heavy metal. Some new influences were added around '93/'94. At that time, Darkthrone, Funeral Nation, Beherit, Gehenna and Burzum's black metal essence added to the Gravewurm sound which remains to this day. They have played shows with the mighty Destroyer 666, Absurd, Grand Belial's Key, Negative Plane, Slugathor, Arghoslent, Satanic Warmaster, Hellwitch, Merciless Death, At War, Toxic Holocaust, After Death and were a part of the Antichrist Vanguards Tour 2007 which featured Angelcorpse and Watain.

Additional notes:
*It is a common misconception that Gelal Necrosodomy of Grand Belial's Key is a member of this band. This stems from both him and Funeral Grave using the same P.O. Box address.

*Don of the Dead and Jim Sadist from NunSlaughter played on the 'Warbeast' 7" . Blakk of AngelKill did backing vocals on "Command of Satan's Blade" '98 demo and Joel Grind from Toxic Holocaust played drums on the "Carnivorous Monarchy" EP.
