Wormrot is a modern grindcore band from Singapore. Formed in 2007, they toured the underground circuits and were subsequently signed to Earache Records (UK) in 2010. Singer Arif and guitarist Rasyid met at high school. After Rasyid finished his military service, they jammed together in a deathgrind project, but soon after decided to form their own grindcore band called Wormrot. The group recorded their first demo in 2007, followed by the second demo in 2008. Shortly afterwards, they began recording their debut album "Abuse", which was released by independent label Scrotum Jus Records in 2009. The track "Born Stupid" from this album was included on a download sampler from the online magazine Invisible Oranges. Digby Pearson, owner of the British label Earache Records, heard it and signed them. The second album "Dirge" was released in summer 2011. After a longer break, the third studio album "Voices" was released in fall 2016 and was followed by numerous festival appearances and tours. In May 2022, the band announced that founding member and singer Arif Wormrot would be leaving the band for personal reasons and that his wife and band manager Azean would also no longer be working for the band. Arif can still be heard on the studio album "Hiss" announced for July 8, 2022. At the beginning of February 2023, the band went on tour through Europe with Gabriel Dubko from Implore as guest vocalist.
