help Wormed - Planisphærium FAQ
Is Planisphærium Wormed's first album?
Yes. The Madrid band released Planisphærium through Japan's Macabre Mementos Records in 2003, following the Floating Cadaver in the Monochrome demo and the Voxel Mitosis promo.
Why are the lyrics and song titles on Planisphærium full of science-fiction terms?
Wormed replaced the gore-centered themes common in brutal death metal with stories and imagery involving space, matter, and futuristic cosmology. Titles such as "Tunnel of Ions," "Geodesic Dome," and "Pulses in Rhombus Forms" establish that identity.
Which version of Planisphærium contains the early demo material?
The original album has eight main tracks, while later reissues add material from Floating Cadaver in the Monochrome and Voxel Mitosis. A buyer comparing CDs or digital editions should therefore check whether the listing has eight or fourteen tracks.
Which Wormed album continues the story after Planisphærium?
Exodromos, released in 2013, was presented as a narrative prequel to Planisphærium. Musically, it expands Wormed's science-fiction brutal death metal with denser technical arrangements and a more modern production.
