"We just love the adrenaline rush of the blast beats," Arif said. "Actually, our intended idea was to play something like death grind - gore grind a la Disgorge (Mexico). But it doesn't work out as Rasyid wasn't comfortable with the riffing or whatever. He's more into basic, straightforward punkish chords, whatever you call it. We're definitely and always a fan of grindcore and that's the closest other 'fast extreme' genre we can work on. We made the right choice. Always a fan of extreme pissed off noise. Everyone has gotta be comfortable with what they are doing. Fit was in a punk band back in the day, so it fits so perfectly and makes everything much easier. Over the years, we tend to learn and appreciate grindcore as we grew and never look back to what we were intended to be. We've been grinding proudly ever since."

You Grind...But Why?: Wormrot
Quite honestly, I don't care why Wormrot grind. I'm just eternally grateful that the Singaporean trio does (and that they're out of jail). From absolute unknowns three years ago, Arif, Rasyid and Fitri have become the standard bearers for traditional grind in the 21st Century. But to hear vocalist Arif tell it, grindcore really wasn't the plan when they got together. Luckily for us, Plan A didn't work out.

I am moshing in a picture that was on Wormrot's Myspace.
I am very proud of myself.

On the right, shorts and gray shirt.
It looks like we're doing some sort of conga line. Also of note is the guy to the left, facing the camera, who is possessed by the demon of constipation.
Read about this in Indonesia too http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-16176410.All kinds of fucked up. Happy to hear they survived without any real incident.
i'm glad you guys got out with minimum hassle. meanwhile, i'm gonna visit james madison's grave and thank him for the first amendment.
also, bill i totally wanna see you hulk out on a judge like that one day.
a friend of my is an attorney and got slapped with a contempt of court cite his first week on the job. but apparently the judge sent about half a dozen attorneys to the naughty bench that day. it was something of a badge of honor for him.
