Grindcore band from Yakutsk, Russia active since 2011. Wormed Apple delivers blast-beat fury from one of the coldest cities on Earth in the Sakha Republic of eastern Siberia.
Death metal and goregrind band from Pori, Finland formed in 2023. Wormfarm channels the most visceral and repulsive corners of extreme metal through a fusion of death metal brutality and goregrind's graphic intensity.
Thrash and groove metal band from Burgos, Spain formed in 2018. Wormhole delivers heavy, riff-driven metal from the historic Castilian city, blending thrash speed with groove metal's rhythmic power.
A Texas-based project formed in 2024, Worminfestedcorpse operate at the most punishing end of the brutal death metal and slam spectrum. Brand new to the scene, the band is already committed to the genre's most extreme sonic and lyrical territory, with a name that makes no pretense about the aesthetic.
Black metal band from Caen, France active since 2017. Wormkvlt channels pestilent darkness through raw black metal from the historic city of Normandy.
Black metal band from Umeå, Sweden active since 2016. Wormlight crafts atmospheric black metal from the university city of northern Sweden.
Wormrot formed in Singapore in 2007 and rapidly emerged as one of the most internationally recognized grindcore acts outside of the genre's traditional Anglo-American centers. After a self-released debut EP, their 2009 full-length Abuse earned a deal with Earache Records, who also released Dirge (2011) and Voices (2016). The band made history in 2017 as the first Singaporean act to perform at Glastonbury Festival; Hiss (2022) further consolidated their critical standing with a tightly executed set of concussive short-form extremity.
Death metal band from Porcheville, France active since 2017. Worms delivers visceral death metal from the Seine Valley northwest of Paris.
Black metal band from London, England active since 2006. Named after the demon Sabnock, they deliver occult-themed black metal from the British capital with nearly two decades of underground dedication.
