Ringworm (w/ Freya, Hate The Adversary, Sister Fister, Psychomanteum)

On the rarest of occasions, there comes along a band that latches on and annihilates your ears with such a unique combination of sounds, you find yourself dislodged from the monotony of every-day music, and rooted firmly in the terrain of admiration. Cleveland Ohio’s RINGWORM are no strangers to this concept, and have been fascinating metalheads with their unorthodox melodies for over 30 years. Now recently signed to Nuclear Blast Records, the guys are preparing to unleash their 9th studio album: SEEING THROUGH FIRE.

While the Human Furnace’s monstrous voice obtained its name for a reason, the band are often lumped in with a vast sea of hardcore acts, perhaps unfairly pushing aside the intricate melodies that completely recategorize RINGWORM, and set them apart from one specific genre. SEEING THROUGH FIRE showcases these abundant complexities and pushes the band up into the front runners of modern metallic talent.

With SEEING THROUGH FIRE recorded and artwork prepped, the album was packaged and ready to go when Nuclear Blast Records became aware of RINGWORM’s motivation to unleash it in 2023. “We’re fortunate to be able to work with Nuclear Blast, especially at this stage. It opens up a lot of doors for us, and a lot more people can hear what we do. We’re looking forward to working with them; it’s nice having their team, their machine, built around us.”

Look out for RINGWORM’s newest offering: SEEING THROUGH FIRE, due to be released Summer 2023 via Nuclear Blast Records. RINGWORM is James ‘Human Furnace’ Bulloch (vocals), Matt Sorg (guitar), Mike Lare (guitar), Ed Stephens (bass).
