Wormwood is undoubtedly one of the leading bands on the Swedish metal scene right now. The band now returns straight into the hot air to follow up the highly praised predecessors "Nattarvet" and "Arkivet". Albums that made the band soar on the national charts and led to numerous nominations for prestigious awards.

The release of "The Star", concludes the magnificent trilogy about death (nattravet, Arkivet, THE Star). "nattarvet" was about the grim famine that plagued the people in the 19th-century Nordic region. "the Archive" focused on the inevitable downfall of mankind and "the Star" tells the story of the end of the universe.

There is no doubt that Wormwood musically has taken another big step forward, both in terms of songwriting and performance. Nothing is left to chance, and everything is refined down to the smallest detail, and this without sacrificing the bands unmistakable raw sound.

The album was mixed and mastered the renowned metal producer Sverker Widgren from Wing Studios in Stockholm, Sweden

Mit "Ontological Mysterium" haben HORRENDOUS einen gewaltigen Death-Metal-Thrill-Ride hingelegt! Die schiere Größe und Bandbreite ihres neuen Albums ist gewaltig. Die Riffs drehen und wenden sich durch labyrinthische Arrangements und brechen in hochfliegende, melodische Leads aus. Ihr fünftes Album "Ontological Mysterium" fängt den wahren Geist der goldenen Zeiten des extremen Metals ein. Es klingt zeitlos, markiert aber einen kühnen Schritt nach vorne für diese aufstrebende Band.
