Boneworm is a Sludge/Doom Metal band from Portland, Oregon, USA.
The members are:
Boneworm is Tim Burke. Tim plays guitar and shoulders the burden of knowing exactly how you are going to die.
Boneworm is Dave Becker. Dave plays bass and, like a lich or a Roman emperor, only seems to be growing more powerful with age.
Boneworm is Chaz Rocker. Chaz plays drums and hangs out with your Camaro-driving uncle. Ask about the weekend they drove to Reno."
Right folks what we have here is a Sludge/Doom/Noise Rock band in the vein of The Melvins and it fucking rules. Apparently these guys have contacted me before but I missed their emails. Guys - I AM SORRY - as you guys are fucking brilliant.
Can't believed I missed this!!! - Anyway here is a bio of the band and what to expect from their crazy as fuck S/T album.
Boneworm tells these tales by calling upon rasped howls, punishing bass, and the occasional guitar solo that delicately pulls us aside and promises that nothing will ever be ok again.
For a genre that is frequently looking outward into the psychedelic aether, Boneworm offers their doom with a sense of crushing immediacy. Which is the more terrifying, the intricate words of a sinister hex being cast, or plaintively being told that nothing matters because time is already
against you?
To be fair, imagery of bubbling cauldrons and mystic dimensions is overkill when you're already writing your music against the backdrop of Portland, Orygun. A discerning ear will detect the homages and influences, but Boneworm's sound is brewed and bottled in a northwest style. This is the soundtrack to rain-slick blacktop glowing under sodium lamps. This is the thump and rattle of freight trains and rattling windows in the industrial district. This is the distinct sound of Cascadian doom.

We have our first self titled album out on bandcamp and are providing free downloads (name your price, including $0.00). Go ahead and grab yourself a copy.http://boneworm.bandcamp.com/
My thoughts are that the album is a work of insane twisted genius. The 3 track and 42 minute opus will have you on the edge of your seat. It's got a groovy lo-fi appeal which will win you over in no time at all.
So if your into Unsane, Diesto and The Melvins then this is going to rock your fucking world like it did mine.
You heard from the band themselves. It's available for free download now. Go ahead and grab yourself a copy. Seriously I don't want another pissed off email from this band.
Excellent and Highly Recommended.
