HMLTD announce second album with lead single "Wyrmlands"

"Wyrmlands" is the group’s first new material since 2021's "Don't Leave Me", and lands with a video directed by lead vocalist Henry Spychalski.

Spychalski says of the new single, ""Wyrmlands" tells the story of a guerrilla resistance movement against the worm. The lyrics recount their tales of subversion and subterfuge: counter-offensives, tortured confessions and haunting vignettes of the strange new land in which they find themselves."

HMLTD’s The Worm album was created over two years, and features 47 different musicians including a gospel choir and a 16-piece string orchestra. It’ll follow their 2020 debut album West of Eden.

Spychalski adds of the album, "We’re told to believe that anxiety and depression are purely material and biological - like a parasitic worm that can be removed with the right treatment. I think that really these conditions reflect the world that surrounds us - like colonies that a far bigger worm has made in each of us - the psychological havoc wreaked by our inescapable capitalist reality and looming apocalypse it has created."
