Alright then, let’s get right down to it…WORMED. If you know, you know. Oh, oops: IYKYK. Or, whatever the hell the kids are sayin’ these days. And yes I am that crotchety old bastard in case you were wondering. Anyway, just in time for all the fireworks, gun fire, partying, days off work, America celebrating, hamburgers, hot dogs, beer, blood, sweat, and all that other stuff that is July 4th, WORMED are back, BY GOD, to soundtrack the debauchery of it all. Nah, that’s not a “bit much” as you might have just uttered because again, IYKYK and if you don’t, find out. Moving on we’ve also got icy black metal from Vimur, catchy power metal from Orden Ogan, more tasty black metal from Liminal Shroud, and the rest hiding out in the list below. This week we’re bloated with good shit to make up for last week’s bunch of nothing, score. If you’re not in the USA, hate celebrating, or can’t stand fireworks and stuff, crank WORMED anyway. See you here throughout the week.
