From depths of Colombian mass graves is coming out a ravenous vermin, feeding from the corpse of 80's and 90's Metal scenario, setting up the flames for the ritual of WORMKULT.

Michael Plater is a U.K-based Australian experimental/folk/psych/indie/noir musician and multi-instrumentalist. His first two solo albums “Exit Keys” (2012) and “Mythologies” (2016) received world-wide critical acclaim, with “Mythologies” being re-released in expanded form in the U.K in 2018 through cult British folk/psyche/drone label Reverb Worship. In recent years, he has also released music on such labels as Hypostatic Union (U.K), Dub Cthonic (U.K), Woodford Halse (U.K), Hibernate (U.K), Laily Recordings (U.K), and More Than Folk Records (France).

Michael has also played in the U.K-based dark folk ensemble GhostShips, the ambient project Ghosts of Electricity, the Gothic soundscapes act The Northern Lighthouse Board, Melbourne garage rockers The Exit Keys, and folkloric collective Cornish Wreckers. 

His acclaimed new solo album, “Ghost Music,” is out now on Hypostatic Union. 

Selected Press:

"Beautiful and timeless...Music that breaks your heart." (Peek-a-Boo Magazine, Belgium)

"Dark folk (via destabilised post-punk) and epic mind-bending pieces which leave you gasping for air" (I-94 Bar, Sydney)

"Multifaceted and very emotional...bewitching" (Gezeitenstrom Musik Magazine, Germany)

"Mythologies is an album made of that sweet melancholy that we know so well…at once familiar and reassuring, like an old friend who comes to visit you when a rainy horizon weighs on your soul." (Mithra Templezine, France) 

“Late-night indie rock 'n' roll, woozy dreampop atmospherics, and a generous helping of Gothic Americana,” (Bliss Aquamarine, U.K) 

"His seemingly sweet music approaches you almost tenderly, then comes the deep, deep voice... A voice that carries a real melancholy...exciting, rock and roll and lyrical," (New Box Magazine, France) 

"Michael is an Australian musician who has a deep baritone voice, a voice that he uses to great effect...There are some nice touches in the playing with slide guitar, Leslie harmonica, violin, organ accordion, bass and drums...The album ends with ‘The Dreamer’s Dream’, mostly instrumental, it’s also my favourite, with some fine ensemble playing, tremolo guitar, martial drums and heavily amped harmonica," (Terrascope, U.K)

"Michaels warm, very melodious and deep voice exudes a draft of a special kind and creates goosebumps." (Independent Sounds, Germany)

"Listening to Michael Plater's music, the names that come to mind are Nick Cave, Nikki Sudden (in his 'solo works'), Lou Reed... Intimate folk-blues ballads, with an underground taste...a songwriter with talent...Heartfelt music from a sensitive soul, surely. Very good work." (Sudden Art Music Magazine, Italy)

"Fantastic and melancholic songs, sung with his strong and expressive voice." (At Sea Compilations, Germany)

"Mythologies is vocal-driven, Plater’s deep voice laying down a trail into the forest, the guitars and occasional harmonica and piano are the dark unknown around us…we’re lucky to have him,” (Robert Brokenmouth, I-94-Bar)
