Worm Shepherd are one of the leading forces in the burgeoning symphonic deathcore movement, and today (July 25th), the often masked and/or makeup-slathered Massachusetts group have announced a new EP, the five-track The Sleeping Sun.
Worm Shepherd also unleashed the majestic, pummeling lead single, "The Dying Heavens." Blast the nearly-seven-minute epic via its official lyric video above.
"This EP has a ton of layers to it," guitarist Tre Purdue commented of The Sleeping Sun. "We wanted to capture a lot of elements that we haven't tackled before and retain some of the sound we've had previously. When I wrote this EP I wanted you to experience something new every song. Going from emotional melodies to bone crushingly heavy… I think is something we captured perfectly on this EP and is only a taste of what's to come, as we continue to grow and experiment with our sound."
The Sleeping Sun is due out August 18th via Unique Leader Records and available to pre-save now.
