I'm listening to the
new Worm…on tape! (They give you the digital version when you order a tape, but I wanted to try hearing it on tape first.)
It is heavy and funereal, a really good blend of Thergothon and something like early Amorphis. It feels really monumental.
The medium doesn't make it heavier, but I've come to really like that you put it on, and it just plays. You can't easily flip to something else or even easily pause it in my case. You just have to sit with it, even if there's a moment that isn't meeting your whims.
