This new record may be a bit of a new direction for us but the core elements of Goreworm are still present featuring our fast paced blend of melodic, technical, and brutal death metal. We hope everyone who listens will enjoy the music.
Band's statement: It is a great honor to be working with Transcending Obscurity Records for the release of our new record. This one has been a long time coming, we have had many setbacks but we never gave up and now the time is here.
It sounds strange on paper and yet they seem to make it work somehow. It takes a few listens for it all to fall in place but that's part of the charm of this release. Listen to one of the songs here - youtu.be/TMr3dhxl4SI
New signing announcement: Death metal band #Goreworm from Canada
We're glad to work with Canadian band Goreworm who have forged their own kind of prog/tech death metal music using influences ranging from melodic to brutal death metal.
It was cool to get a chance to shed light on some of the label bands in the process.
I had to blur out most of the content because the magazine is still on the stands - pick it up if you can!
The French Rock Hard France / Rituel Magazine published an interview with me recently about Transcending Obscurity Records. I'm immensely grateful for the opportunity and deeply thankful to the writer, Arno, who thought this would make a worthy feature. I didn't realize it would be such a big one.

She’s a rescue and has lost vision in one of her eyes due to some prevailing illness. That doesn’t stop her from being super affectionate and possessive.
Ghost loves my post-work PS5 de-stress time probably more than I do.
The #Phasma album gets a very high 4.0/5.0 rating at the @angrymetalguy.bsky.social site! It drops this week!
