Wormhole announce new album ‘Almost Human’
WORMHOLE have announced a new album!
Titled Almost Human, the upcoming album from the Baltimore-based ‘tech slam’ band is the follow-up to 2020’s The Weakest Among Us, and is scheduled to be released in September this year, via Season Of Mist.
Describing their sound, guitarist Sanjay Kumar says, “the tech slam imagery is based on Metroid lore, Doom lore, and we haven’t written a song about it yet, but Alien as well. Those three things are brutal sci-fi universes, so we’re trying to embody that sound. The slam riffs, you can connect the brutal killing of stuff with the brutal chunky riffs; that’s been a match that’s existed since the nineties. So that’s the slam part, and then the tech part was harder to fit that vibe, so we kind of do it differently. I lean into very dissonance-vibe stuff, like ARTIFICIAL BRAIN and DYSRHYTHMIA. I think disso-death and heavy, they aren’t usually paired together, even though they should be.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; System Erase. Speaking about the new song, the band says, “System Erase explores man’s need for idol worship. In this story, man’s admiration for power and beauty has led him to spend his existence worshiping an entity he saw, only for an instant, eons ago. What of the entity? Did it even notice him? Does it care for man as man cares for it?”
