Hells Headbangers has set a May 14 international release date for GravewÃœRm's brand-new album, "Infernal Minions". The American band's ninth full-length overall, the Cd "represents our continued path of worshipping the ancient gods of black metal," says founding Graveworm vocalist/guitarist Funeral Grave. With cover art done by Massacre's Kam Lee, "Infernal Minions" indeed pays respect to the blackened altar of Hellhammer, Venom, Burzum, Beherit, Goatloard and Grand Belial'S Key. Obstinate in their refusal to compromise, dedicated to the bitter end: For 23 years now, Graveworm have been their own masters, and "Infernal Minions" is the aggregate accumulation of their arcane wisdom.
