4 Way Split, with its ‘does what it says on the tin’ title is the third release from Stoke-on-Trent label & promotion service Anti-Mind, and brings together Worm Hero, Sevenyearwaitinglist, GENDERISTHEBASTARD and Omnibadger.
Stoke-on-Trent may seem an unlikely location for an merging scene of all things noisy and gnarly, spanning grindcore and proto-industrial experimentalism, but you often find that with places a way off the beaten track, scenes evolve and thrive independently of national trends. 4 Way Split is a solid document showcasing the strange and heavy noise now coming from Stoke.
To accompany the release, they’ve unveiled a video of Worm Hero’s furious metal noise, which you can watch here:
The 29-track album will be available on CD and digital formats on the 5th of April from here:
