Wormrot

A concert by Wormrot, the Singaporean grindcore band formed in 2007, at Rebellion Manchester in Manchester, with background on the act's label and first album.

Wormrot is a grindcore band formed in Singapore in 2007. The group is signed to Earache Records, the British label, and released its first album, Abuse, in 2009. Grindcore, the style the band plays, combines the speed and aggression of hardcore punk with the heaviness of extreme metal, and its songs are typically short and dense.

The concert takes place at Rebellion Manchester, a venue that hosts concerts and shows in Manchester. The night is aimed at listeners who follow grindcore and extreme metal, and at anyone curious about the Singaporean scene behind this act.

Earache Records has long given space to extreme music, which places the group within a catalogue built around heavy, fast-paced releases. For listeners new to the band, Abuse is the natural starting point, since it is the album that brought the group's sound to a wider audience.
