The second coming of HOLLENTHON transcends the boundaries of majestic perfection, presenting a trademark style and sound full of an intensity and finesse only attributable to the mastermind of the critically acclaimed debut Domus Mundi.
With Vilest of Worms to Dwell invokes a frightful encounter with a darkly world, where musical overtures mimic the ebb and flow of the tides—at times the excitement of the tempest, at others the tranquil and solemn, yet nevertheless potent, aftermath of its fury.
Not unlike its predecessor, "With Vilest of Worms to Dwell" boasts of a superb soundtrack-like production that will captivate the most critical of listeners. The fierce and wicked atmosphere created by a perfect symbiosis of heavy guitars, symphonic interludes, thrilling choirs, and bewitching melodies may prove to be the release capable of launching HOLLENTHON out of obscurity and into the well-deserved limelight.
Bruder Cle of ROCKHARD MAGAZINE fame had this to say about the release:
Honestly, we never thought an album like Domus Mundi could be easily surpassed. How wrong we were! Mastermind Martin Schirenc has outdone himself again and presented us with one of the most convincing Metal discs of this young millennium. It is just plain perfect. Majestic choirs, marvelous melody lines, and orchestral passages are arranged predominantly as fast metal songs that leave bands like Therion lying in the dust. Each of the eight tracks is an ode within itself, striking down the listener with a fatal blow. The album's threatening, dark atmosphere makes it difficult to stay away, and the brilliant, clear production guarantees an additional goose bump factor. The fact that it is also a well thought out concept album becomes almost secondary. Not one shortcoming to be heard in this metallic sound experience and thus, my last words: "pure genius". An absolute must-buy! (Bruder Cle - 04/01)
