Interview by Kris Peters
Riding high on the back of their recent album HISS, Singapore extreme metal outfit Wormrot have been announced as main support to Napalm Death on their September Australian tour.
Guitarist Rasyid sat down with HEAVY to bring us up to speed.
"It will be fun," he enthused. "It's not the first time we toured there. The last time was with Obituary and then I had another tour with my other band there also, but that was a short one also. Yeah, I'm back!"
We ask Rasyid what fans can expect from the Wormrot set.
"Oh man, I'm not sure," he laughed. "We're gonna try to catch up with everybody and go as hard as possible and as fast as possible. We will see how you guys react."
In the full interview, Rasyid talks about what has changed with Wormrot since their last visit Down Under, touring with Napalm Death and what that means to the band, how much thought and planning goes into their live shows, their latest album HISS and why it is the band's best yet, receiving universal acclaim and the pressures that come with it, the early days of the band and more.
