Worm — KEXP, 2026

Filmed live session by the band Worm at Seattle’s KEXP radio studios, recorded on 7 May 2026. A rising force in death-doom metal out of Florida, the outfit led by Phantom Slaughter translates its sepulchral world into the stripped-back format of US public radio, a global reference for its live captures. Across three long pieces — « Necropalace », « Dragon Dreams » and « Blackheart » — the band unfurls crawling riffs, cavernous atmospheres and twin-guitar flights, between doom slowness and blackened accelerations. The capture, crafted by KEXP’s video and sound teams, showcases the density of the ensemble playing and the dark theatricality of the frontman. Far from the clichés of extreme metal at festivals, this live session in the studio reveals Worm’s almost ritual dimension and the precision of a band shaping a melodic, cinematic death metal. A complete live document to discover one of the most striking propositions in contemporary underground metal.
