Wormrot- Dirge

Reviewsadmin4 Comments

Wormrot's brand of grindcore will probably strike most people as being old school. Their dedication to thrash metal riffs and a natural-sounding production style calls back to the genre's salad days in the 80s. But not everything here is from the past. The band's intensity and speedy drums and guitar definitely feel 2011.

To me, this album is a reminder that musical movements can miss great things if everyone is in a rush to follow a trend or new extreme. Going back and putting a modern twist on an old sound can have great results.

In short, THIS IS BR00TAL! OMG!!!!!

"Principle of Puppet Warfare" MP3

Singapore's Wormrot will be dropping an LP titled Dirge on Earache Recs this May. In the meantime, the label has been awesome enough to allow fans to download the entire album for free on their website--for the price of an e-mail address of course.

This thing is one of the most fun grindcore records I've heard in a while. I know "fun" isn't usually a word people associate with the genre, but the band's thrash riffs and neck-snapping speeds are too exhilarating for me to sit back unamused. It puts a little smirk on my face. Is that so wrong?
