When WORN released their debut full-length, HUMAN WORK, in 2021, there was no mistaking who the Wilkes-Barre band were aiming their ire toward. We were all complicit and targets of the five-piece’s brutalist hardcore that looked at this shit pile of society and said, “Destroy it.” The problems still remain, however, and on “ENTITY & FORM” – the lead single from their forthcoming EP, CONDENSING FLESH – the band holds a mirror toward everything we consume as media and the way it desensitizes us to actua humanl terror, and decides that it, too, needs to be bulldozed down to rubble. The whole thing, in its two-minute-and-15-second D-beat destruction mode, sounds awfully impatient and unapologetic for what it is about to ruin, as it should. WORN merely look at where society fails, and do their job of undoing it even if it means leaving nothing behind in their wake.

WORN’s CONDENSING FLESH will be released September 1st on From Within Records.
