Wormwood - Are we doomed or is there hope?

Wormwood, the 4th album from heavy-psych outfit Cracked Machine takes its inspiration from the plant and star of the same name. The eight instrumental tracks draw on the myths of many cultures which associate Wormwood with madness and the end of the world.

The album tells a story which weaves between themes of darkness and light, destruction and salvation, despair and hope. Stoner infused heavy-psychedelic grooves create a palette of texture which allow the themes to grow organically and invade the senses.

“We wanted to create a soundtrack to the crazy world we find ourselves in; asking questions, exploring the biggest themes, but ultimately offering a chance of optimism”.
