This album emanates dread and horror. A truly haunting piece of art. Makes me feel how I felt as a kid when I listened to throbbing gristle for the first time
Favorite track: Wormboiler.

American one-man black industrial/power electronics weapon Uranium emerges from the depths of oblivion with its first proper release, "Wormboiler" a full-length compilation offering comprising the entity's first 2021 self-released digital EP "The Glorious Void" along with the brand new and until now unreleased EP "Wormboiler", also the namesake of this harrowing long player. A radioactive abyss of complete sonic ruin, "Wormboiler" channels the darkness and scathing experimentalism of defining post-industrial acts like Brighter Death Now, Godflesh, Wolf Eyes, MZ. 412, Controlled Bleeding, and Genocide Organ, taking the aesthetic to a brand new extreme of overwhelming and bludgeoning post-industrial darkness.
As the band's name aptly hints at, Uranium was conceived as an aural vessel to explore the outer limits and the most irreversible states of human annihilation and the incineration of its most defining and triumphant achievements; namely society, progress, technology, and civilization, with nuclear power being both the primary source of such achievements and, on the flip side, also the primary (potential) conduit to the greatest and most tyrannical forms of complete annihilation mankind could ever face. Auditory terror both permeates and defines Uranium's music, with bludgeoning and majestic post-industrial soundscapes animating a lightless void lit only by the glow of fallout, drifting embers and falling ash, while harrowing infernal atmospheres wrap their spires around punishingly heavy rhythmic excoriations of distorted auditory mayhem. A death-scarred reality emerges from the utter bleakness and savagery of Uranium's apocalyptic design, as the listener is cast at the center of a caustic nuclear nightmare where flesh boils and evaporates off bone, cells erratically split into endless deformities and the world is turned into a mangled, corroded and rusted radioactive abyss.

I don't think Uranium is getting the plays here on SR it deserves simply because they are not really following that sort or wall-of-noise, Portal-like formula, but make no mistake, this record rules! vaddep

Pestilength are freaking AWESOME!! There's touches of influential bands I can hear in there death metal sound like Pyyrhon, Taphos and Replicant, every song comes thundering along in its relentless mission to make us all headbang like loonies until our heads fall off. Tremendous album added to my collection. Darknight
The Doom Trip label never misses, and the latest LP from the genius Heejin Jang is a trip into thrilling industrial terror. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 30, 2023
