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 January 18th, 2019, via Hospital Records in the US and across UK/EU by Sludgelord Records.
