After years of silence, the toxic earth has split open once more and vomited forth the return of Sacramento’s brutal death metal juggernaut Wurm Flesh. With a new lineup and a sharpened sonic arsenal, the band has emerged from the grave with their brand-new three-song EP. Thus, titled Teratogenic Malformation, the three song EP came out on July 26th via Comatose Music.
The new incarnation of Wurm Flesh sees founding members Rob Calhoun (vocals/guitars) and Mitch Bauder (drums) joined by Bo Rogers (bass) and Joe Salazar (guitar/backing vocals). Together, they’ve taken the foundation laid on their 2018 debut, Excoriation Evisceration, and twisted it into something even more grotesque and punishing. Teratogenic Malformation serves as both a conceptual continuation of that debut and a venom-soaked preview of the full-length monstrosity the band plans to unleash in 2025.
Recorded, mixed, and mastered at Mayhemness Studios (Rings of Saturn, Wastewalker, Obliviated) , the EP captures Wurm Flesh at their most merciless. Indeed, with disturbing cover art by Sean Walusko (Dire Peril, Zombie Death Stench) sealing the package in gore.
Therefore, Teratogenic Malformation is already out via Comatose Music. Wurm Flesh is back, and the infection is spreading.
