"Offering tooth-rattling bass and some serious drum
bashing [...] shrouded in layers of crawling riffs, feedback and noise. Of
course, it wasn’t enough to just pulverize your spine musically; lyrically, we
can all relate to what WOORMS are feeling."
DECIBEL MAGAZINE
“‘They ram together The Jesus Lizard, Eyehategod and
Neurosis into a swampy hodgepodge full of shifting musical personalities […]
This trio is heavy on cosmic weirdness.”
TEETH OF THE DIVINE
Sludgelord Records is thrilled to announce the signing of
the Baton Rouge-based colossus, WOORMS, for the release of their debut album
Slake this January.
Formed in 2017 in Louisiana
and featuring guitarist/vocalist Joey Carbo, bassist John Robinson, and drummer
Aaron Polk, WOORMS has been delivering a devastating and brutal mélange of
riffs and noise-rock righteousness on the precipice of significance for some
time.
Yet despite only being a year or so into their sonic
existence WOORMS has already racked up a number of releases; a collection of
demos, digital one-offs (‘Daddy Was A Masker,’ 'The Math Says, Yes') and a
split with NOLA thrashers, A Hanging. Last month, WOORMS returned with the
first sanctioned cut from their debut album, Slake (which gets its official release
this January) when ‘Mouth is a Wound’ scored an exclusive premiere on Decibel
Magazine. Fully stirred from a delirious slumber, a second cut soon followed
with 'Find a Meal, Find a Bed, Find a God', which, for all intents and purposes
is the perfect introduction to the band; a lumbering, symphonic noise-rock
shank fight between the fattest of riffs and the thinnest of patience with the
world at large. Making for a devastatingly terse and perverse experience, from
the pinnacle to the point of no return, it falls psychotically through the fuzz
and unholy grind of bands like KARP, Jesus Lizard and Neurosis. As lead
vocalist/guitarist Joey Carbo explains:
“Every person is a perfectly unfucked being at the outset.
The birth process takes care of all that.
This is like my ninety-ninth misanthropy song and,
hopefully, it’s my best on the subject.
A fetus finds itself free of need or want; coming into
consciousness in a dark and warm, red cloud.
Head down in the water.
It’s all downhill from there – as they say. And the greatest
minds of any era: the artists and thinkers and titans of science, they all had
a few things in common. Three, to my mind. They would need food and shelter and
most of them would create or find (or be subject to) a god or group of gods.
You’ll also need a job out here. You may find it necessary
to kill, to do terrifying things. All things considered, it’s a rigged game and
a shit show from one end to the other.
What were you thinking?
Best you stay in there, in the water.”
Slake, the debut album by WOORMS is officially released on
18th January 2019 via Hospital Records in the US and across UK/EU by Sludgelord
Records.
