In the Wake ov Sòl is the debut album by American blackened deathcore band Worm Shepherd, released independently on December 25, 2020, before getting signed to Unique Leader Records and re-releasing the album via the label on June 4, 2021,[8] with a previously unreleased bonus track, "Chasm Dweller".[9] Vocalist Devin Duarte stated that he wrote the album when he was "at my emotional lowest and brought me back to the darkest places in my life. I wanted to encapsulate the hopelessness people feel with these words, so that it can have a uniting effect. I wrote all the lyrics at the location where I made an attempt on my life, and I feel that it brought me even closer to the message."[10]
