If you want grindcore that’ll peel your face off and feed it to you, you’d be hard-pressed to find a band better at making it than Singapore’s Wormrot. Not only do the grind three-piece play the kind of music that causes immediate panic and/or excitement, but they can also do so at the drop of a hat. Case in point, the band have just taken part in an intimate two-song in-studio session that’ll knock your fucking head back.
The video comes via Snakeweed Studios in Singapore, as part of their Snakeweed Session series. In it, the band play two new songs from their upcoming album Hiss, “Behind Closed Doors” and “When Talking Fails, It’s Time For Violence.” Each one is more frantic and awesome than the last, and leaves the viewer dumbstruck that the band can just turn it on the way they do. Fuck, this album is going to be rad.
Hiss will be Wormrot’s first album since 2016’s Voices. For those of you who don’t know them, the band rose to acclaim with 2009’s absolutely monumental Abuse, and then further cemented themselves in the scene with 2011’s crushing Dirge. Since then, these guys have remained wild-card champions of heavy music at its most worked-up and punishing, and have managed to make solid artistic choices along the way, unlike many of their scene-shackled peers. Long story short, we fucking love this band, and we’re here for this record.
