Woorms Announce June Midwestern Touring
Is it June yet? No? Then I’m glad not to be egregiously behind the times in posting these Woorms tour dates as the Louisiana-based atmosludgers/noisemakers will head out on a run through the Midwest and Southeast in support of last year’s Fatalismo, their third album, on SuperNova Records, the label helmed by Steve Austin of avant-caustic trailblazers Today is the Day.
Austin also produced, mixed and mastered Fatalismo, which is weirder than thou and judges thee harshly for that but is less prickish about it than, say, ’90s-era Melvins, and listening to it now, I wish I’d reviewed it a year ago (I did post a Questionnaire from Joey Carbo, so the neglect wasn’t complete), but such is Mango. Persistently.
The tour runs two-plus weeks and apparently they have a new single on the way as well. I’ll look forward to that press release coming in 10 minutes after this is published, because that’s how it goes when you suck as bad at life as I do.
From the PR wire:
WOORMS: Louisiana Noise Rock/Sludge Trio Announces Eastern US June Tour; Fatalismo LP Out Now On SuperNova Records + New Music In The Works
Baton Rouge/New Orleans, Louisiana sludge/noise rock crew WOORMS has announced a run of tour dates through the Eastern half of the US this June, supporting their SuperNova Records-released Fatalismo LP.
Released in May of 2022, WOORMS’ Fatalismo was produced, engineered, and mastered by Today Is The Day/SuperNova Records’ Steve Austin – who also provides additional vocals on “This Is Nothing Short Of Character Assassination” – at Austin Enterprise, with additional recording by the band’s Joey Carbo at The Hospital in Baton Rouge. The album was completed with surrealistic artwork by Januz Miralles and design/layout by Joshua Wilkinson.
Guitarist/vocalist Joey Carbo and drummer Aaron M. Polk also welcome new bassist Miguel Rincon, who joined the band in recent months. From Chicago, Rincon cut his teeth in the hardcore/metal scene of New Orleans. As a hired gun in various touring bands Rincon found a home in WOORMS in 2022. Known for his dynamic attack to the bass and high energy stage presence it’s safe to say he fits right in.
Having supported Fatalismo with regional live performances over the past year, WOORMS will now take the album out across the Eastern US in June. With sixteen shows confirmed, the band will play cities in Louisiana, Texas, Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Georgia, and Alabama between June 8th and 24th.
WOORMS is also working on new material, some of which will be played on the new tour. The band is currently completing a new single which will be released in conjunction with the launch of the tour. See all confirmed dates below and stand by for the new single and other news to post shortly.

WOORMS’ anthems thunder with elements of dirge, grit, groove, and bellowing amplification foundationally attributed to masters of the realms of noise rock, sludge, and psychedelic metal scenes. Since their 2017 formation, the band has developed a diehard fanbase through performing live and their records, released through Sludgelord Records, Forbidden Place Records, and their own Hospital Records, including two LPs, an array of singles, demos, and EPs, and split releases with A Hanging, Radiant Knife, and The Grasshopper Lies Heavy.
In March of 2020, WOORMS drove 1500 miles to open for Today is The Day in Ohio where frontman Steve Austin joined them on stage for a song. This connection led WOORMS to Austin’s compound in remote northern Maine in the Fall of 2020 to record what would be their third LP, Fatalismo.
