![]() Ringworm seem to be doing the polar opposite of “mellowing with age”, with each new record from the Cleveland metallic hardcore quintet more ferocious than the last. Tracks like ‘Eschilo’ utilise simultaneously mournful and notably creepy melodic licks that add a whole new dimension to their rabid sound, making this arguably their most robust and memorable outing to date. The quartet have become more intense with each release, and whilst that’s definitely still the case here, what really elevates this record to the next level is the added emphasis on atmosphere and texture. Nahab may lose some of the dream-like ambiguity of its predecessor, but it feels even more harrowing and abrasive as a result.Ĭalligram’s distinctive brand of chaotic blackened hardcore has really come into its own on their new album Position | Momentum too. The increased emphasis on vocals adds to this too whilst they were buried in the mix last time, here they’re right up in your face.

The band’s distinctive sound is still fully intact, based around stomping, hypnotic rhythms, histrionic wails and eerie riffs, but the atmosphere here feels a little bleaker and more harrowing than usual. To sweeten the blow however, they’ve also graced us with one last album, which may rank up there with their best. They have an engaging and lighthearted stage presence that embodies the essence of what is great about live music." -Chad Markell, a satisfied Groom.Just before submitting this column, Dutch duo Urfaust announced they were calling it a day after two full decades of creating some of the most unique, visionary and bizarre black metal of the 21st century.
