Worship

Last CD Before Doomsday (2004)
 Download
Worship is a highly respected German funeral doom act that was founded by “Fucked Up Mad” Max Varnier from France and Daniel “The Doommonger” from Germany in the late 90’s. The Last CD Before Doomsday is a re-issue of the Last Tape Before Doomsday demo, which was released on cassette in 1999. The original tape contained four songs of minimalistic doom metal, driven by the tortured vocals of "Mad Max". In 2001, while their second album, Dooom, was in the process of being written, Max committed suicide and the band was then put to an end. The following year, they decided to reunite, and preparations were made for the finishing of the album, which was finally released in 2007. Dooom has been recognized as one of the most sorrowful, meaningful, and therefore most sought after funeral doom records of all time.
