FEAR, EMPTINESS, DECIBEL: LISTEN TO THE NEW WORMROT FLEXI DISC!!!

Before there were blogs there were these things called magazines, and the only metal magazine we still get excited about reading every month is Decibel. Here’s managing editor Andrew Bonazelli…

Pompous assholes make for great copy, but I would bet all of us are much happier to discover great bands who actually seem like down-to-earth, funny dudes. That’s Wormrot, who not only salvage snoozefests like SXSW, but deliver totally corrosive, sick-as-fuck album art. Decibel just profiled their second full-length, Dirge, in July [#81], and guitarist Raysid had plenty of frugal gourmet advice to share about fine dining on the road: “With four dollars, I can buy two McDoubles and save the rest of the $4 for dinner. If not, I can buy three cheeseburgers. But we’ve been hitting Church’s Chicken. Church’s Chicken has this deal every Monday and Tuesday: 99 cents per chicken [piece]. So, we’ll get two chicken [pieces] for $2. That’s awesome, man!”

I’d say that’s the opposite of awesome, man, but I pretty much do the same thing for lunch every day at Decibel, and our office is surrounded by healthy alternatives that generally don’t result in half-hour bowl-sprayings. But I digress. Wormrot are this month’s sexy Flexi superstars (order here), and the Singaporeans went out of their way to deliver three brand new tracks: “Eradicate,” “Fuck… I’m Sober” and “Vehemence of Denials.” Unlike last month’s Black Dahlia/Jeff Walker cover concoction,  is officially streaming, so you can blow your eardrums right here:

As always, only dB subscribers get these fine pieces of colorful molded plastic. That’s an extra value meal worth investing in.
