Segaworms (formerly known as Segamented Worms, segamentedworms.bandcamp.com) adopts the invented genre of Soilcore, influenced by dirt-digging insects, pestilence and other unpleasantness, on its latest album Polychaetes.
One of many projects by multi-instrumentalist Joseph J. Micolo III, Segaworms offers knob-twiddling electronics, crunchy apocalyptic noise and high-frequency ear-bleeding tones; if viruses could scream a battle cry and robots could whimper in pain, this is what they would sound like.
Fans of doom metal may find Red Necklace (rednecklace.bandcamp.com) and its self-titled debut album on Failed Recordings/Inherent Records, available on cassette and as a digital download, to be up their alley.
It sports monolithic heavy sludge power chords from guitarist/singer Bill Robinson, who alternates between a metal-growl and throat-shredding vocals, and brutal poundings from drummer Patrick Wilkey, balanced with cool-down sections before further violent tumbles down the mountains of madness.New Local Release Mini-Roundup
