Wombbath Downfall Rising

I’m not going to assume that everyone knows who Wombbath are, because hell, they haven’t released a new album since 1993 (Internal Caustic Torments) — and probably not many of you have yet heard the split they released with Warhound this past spring. But that 1993 album is a true classic (it was reissued earlier this year — more about that in a minute), and anything that comes out with the Wombbath name attached to it is going to be worth exploring.

We do need to acknowledge that the only current member of the band who dates back to those early days is guitarist Håkan Stuvemark. But he has some fine company with him in the resurrected Wombbath on this new album, including vocalist/bassist Jonny Petterson (Ashcloud, Syn:drom, etc.), guitarist Al Riglin, and drummer Jeramie Kling (Infernaeon, The Absence), with additional guitar parts provided by Taylor Nordberg (Infernaeon).
