This is one huge dark wall of sound to come for you and maim you. They blackened their sound significantly. I'm curious to where they'll go from here.
Favorite track: Dysthymia.

On their upcoming EP Dysthymia Brazilian death metallers Escarnium conjure up some exceptionally gloomy and downcast death metal, depicting the world in sickening shades of gray. It's not exceedingly technical or dissonant -- their slowly unfurling riffs just tap into a subconscious well of unease that serves as the perfect setting for their similarly miserable subject matter, making sinking into this swamp easy.
- Invisible Oranges
Dysthymia is a murky, hefty slab of death metal that tackles two topics: mental illness and the horrors of the modern world.
- Decibel Magazine
"That is what Escarnium have done here – delivered a top quality, straight forward death or blackened death metal record. Great stuff."
- Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life
"The band’s third album is tight—both in length and approach. These guys just click. The sinewy riffs. The caustic, bellowing vocals. The commandingly dexterous drums. And as tight as Escarnium’s sound is, there’s an organic and almost instinctive feel to Dysthymia, as if they were merely channeling from some unknown energy source and not actually, you know, writing songs and playing their instruments."

this is a fuckin absolute banger of an album. There is something brutally beautiful about mixing melodic guitar riffs with harsh screaming voices from the swamplands. There is also something in their music that reminds me of the greatest band ever made: DEATH! For me the sound of Death is something that no band has ever come close to match. Worm is not a Death clone but they have captured some of the DEATH magic or the beautiful intensity of metal. Just buy this album skarasny
Sludgy death metal brutality from the upper Midwest, featuring some of the most terrifying vocals and riffs imaginable—in a good way. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 20, 2022
