In both 2021 and 2022, Dream Unending and Worm releases closed out the year at 20 Buck Spin. For 2023, to complete the year-end trifecta, the two doomed titans now appear together on one towering release of cosmic duality, ‘Starpath’.
With both bands dropping major works back to back in the previous two years, they became intrinsically linked in the imaginations of the fanbases. And while musically they almost couldn’t be farther apart, the foundational points when exhumed of the Earth, have plenty in common. And so once more, Dream Unending and Worm end the 20 Buck Spin release schedule for the year, this time in conspiracy with one another.
The latest tracks from Dream Unending, ‘So Many Chances’ and ‘If Not Now When’ further dissolve the goth/post-punk elements that existed within earlier output, continuing to build upon the spacious free-form drift of extended guitar passages, pensively heavy riffs and Justin DeTore’s thunderous roar. Phil Swanson, who appeared as guest clean vocalist on ‘Song of Salvation’, returns again here. These two extended pieces represent the most realized incarnation yet of where Derrick Vella and Justin DeTore are steering the ship.
Worm, as they are now known for, continue to be an ever shape-shifting entity of pure virtuosic blackness. ‘Ravensblood’ embraces vampyric black metal with icy keys and eerie cemetery melodies. The chillingly atmospheric ‘Midwinter Tears’ invokes a snow covered gothic mood and side ender ‘Sea of Sorrow’ encapsulates the necromantic shred of lead guitarist Wroth Septentrion over Phantom Slaughter’s idiosyncratic black doom and immortally haunted crypt invocations.
Two bands, two unique approaches, a chasmic spectrum of light from radiant impassioned creation to the terminal abyssic darkness of oblivion. Dream Unending and Worm each present over 20 minutes of new music created specifically with the joint release of ‘Starpath’ in mind.

🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱
Worm and Dream Unending? More like this is a dream come true and my worm is extending unending!
guitar work from Worm is incredible
UNENDING WORM ⚔️ this is split of the year ☠️
As someone who has been obsessively listening to both Worm and Dream Unending for the past year, this literally feels made for me.
Same. Dream unendings last album is a personal favorite. This feels like a continuation of that and I'm inlove.
Worm keeps getting better and better , THEY DONT MISS
Nothing like some celestial doomscapes to stave off my midnight depression
Limitless, both bands god between. 😅😅
Between Worm and Moonlight Sorcery, what a fucking year for black metal!
I knew Dream Unending had a new project coming. But I had no idea it was with Worm. Holy fucking shit. ❤💎👽
20 buckspin stays winning
Came here for Worm but dear God, I have just experienced one of the best songs I've ever heard in "So Many Chances". What a progressive masterpiece. The Floydian, Opethian heart of mine is in love 💙
She Dreams Unending on my Worm till I Starpath
Worm's guitarwork is just astounding.
This gave me astral projections.
That final solo in Midwinter Tears kicks ass! Sounds like something Andy LaRocque would play with King Diamond
wait what the fuck
Damn i cant get enough of worm
sea of sorrow is perfect
I was not prepared for this and neither was my wallet but this is a pleasant surprise.
Worm doesn't miss! Fucking heat again🤘🏾💀🤘🏾
The Dream Unending side is so mesmerizing, those two gentlemen write some amazing stuff.
The Dream Unending side is so good. They've really hit the Cocteau Twins inspo on this and the mix in incredible.
Phil's additional to Worm really helps make the band more memorable and helps push songs forward. Massive improvements in songwriting and arrangement.
Dream Worm this is so fucking good
WORM keeps evolving into something more and more unique... Guess for me the Foreverglade is still unreached. There the amount of Death Metal and Marduk's "Dark Endless" was a bit higher ;D. Nevertheless this current work is highly amazing atmospheric Necromantic Black Doom Art! Absolutley unique!
this is already my winter album of the year and it's only october. A true masterpiece
what a year for the fated blue/purple album cover. helps that the riffs are killer🤘🤘
I appreciate the Dream Unending side (nice ambient moments!) but I love the sound of the Worm side! Sort of like symphonic blackened death-doom with EVH guesting from beyond the grave? Love it!
the guitars though, THE GUITARS..... 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
This is sick - the melody and power both of these bands can work in while remaining skullcrushingly brutal is world class
its sometimes that unexpected pairing that screams SOTY - two bands that compliment each other so well
FUCKING FUCK YES. Split of the year has arrived.
Fuck yes. Thanks $20. Anyone that plays valheim should use worm as the soundtrack, it's epic. And also be stoned. Good times.
This new Worm direction is badass. Love the synth lines in their first track.
Only one track in, but holy fuck so many chances is gonna be hard to beat
metal is in such a good place right now
This is the best mash up of artists I could of hoped for!
Doth my eyes deceive me? Two of my favorite recent metal acts combining forces and nobody knew anything about it until NOW???? This is cause for celebration.
All aboard the WinterMute express... we're hitting the Starpath.
Two best bands in recent years.
This is like the burning sensation of coldness.
37:07 Love the King Diamond - Black Horsemen reference in the solo
This is incredible. Anyone getting Devin Townsend Project vibes from the beginning guitar riff in If Not Now When? The riffs and guitar tone in that whole track are like straight off of Accelerated Evolution, and I LOVE it
Derrick's soloing continues to be so fucking smooth. This is amazing!
Worm Unending…. thank you for the greatest crossover of all time 🫡
My favourite collaborators unending derrick x dream frequentor justin
Both bands sound great. What a perfect coupling. Worm fuckin rules! They have consistently put out bangers and the guitar work is insane!
A bit cheezy at some places but this is high level of performances! Worm are astonishing here.
Sea of sorrow by worm is just something else ....i'm totally in love and how beautiful it is, they evolved into something new with each releases.
It's like listening to Opeth but at the same time a bit different!
This EP just sounds better and better the more you listen, honestly true talent between both groups
What an original sound
Two of the absolute BEST in Metal right now! PHENOMENAL Bands. Can't wait to pre-order and get a physical copy \m/
🤘GLORIOUS 🤘
Wow! What a combo!!
My Satan, this drop out of nowhere. Surprise by Worm is welcome one indeed. Plus got my self new band to listen while at it.
Man ravenblood reminds me of old Arcturus and I mean that as the highest compliment possible!!
I thought the same thing. Aspera Hiems Symfonia
sea of sorrow is a completely fuckin insane track. wow. single best metal song of last year perhaps? like already started off with one of the hardest fuckin riffs youve ever heard and every riff after just one ups the last one in a seamlessly flowing celestial journey
I listened to this and now my whole apartment smells like weed! What the heck man!
Dream Unendings side here is so unreal. Grand, intimidating, brutal, but with shimmers of beauty and hope. Gonna be on repeat for a while
Honestly thought both bands were having lil break this year. No rest for the wickedly talented i guess. Incredible stuff on here. See you all at pre-order drop haha!!
When two bands come together and make something truly amazing. Dream Unending bring a doom jam and Worm bring the Black Metal and Doom perfectly intertwined for an adventure in underground dark music for us fans. Thank you both bands.
ufff the split of the year
I didn't even know this was dropping. Wise to do a split instead of 2 eps. Thanks 20 buck spin. Man Worm have evolved from this slow sludgy swamp metal to full on creepy black metal shred. Amazing the shift, and they pull it off so well.
WOOORM!
my mouth is agape my jaw has fallen through the floor - the end track Sea of Sorrow gave me CHILLS. This is up there for me in terms of best things I've heard this year. And let's not make it unknown Dream Unending just crucify their side as well!
This is even better than the last Dream Unending release. Discogs time.
Been waiting on this🔥AND PHANTOM DIDN’T DISAPPOINT
does anyone know who did the female vocals on midwinter tears??
Whilst obviously I’m happy about this, I was really hoping for a new Worm full length…
That very first Worm riff feels lifted from Diabolical Masquerade's "The Zkeleton Keyz to the Dead", but everything about this still rips.
nobody is talking about how WORM is complexing their logo with every release.
I did
Holy shit best collab of the year
Derrick is such a solid and creative guitar player for his age. I'll be following any project he's apart of for a long time.
Who else up playin with they unending worm?
I've been down the worm hole and just recently been jamming dream unending did not expect this but What a cool surprise I'll be pumpkin these in the ear buds at work tomorrow
This is fucking incredible.
This is a dream!
Thank you CZcams for bestowing this gift upon me
Too 3 albums this year

Worm once again coming out with the most forward thinking extreme metal music of the year.
With this split and the new Tomb Mold, the ante has been raised even higher this year.
This is absolutely fantastic 🎶 Such an Inspiring and unexpected album ✨
This last quarter of the year has been filled with great albums and better surprises. Can't wait for tomorrow's pre-order
