Michael Sánchez (from Arizona, USA prog extremists Pain Patterns) has apparently taken it upon himself to do the drumm programming, vocals, guitars, and bass, and the recording process. King Ov Wyrms is blasting brutal death loaded with lots of black metal riffs and dual growl/shriek vocals, with a death/brutal production. Press "play" and watch this thing launch into linear relentless attacks of brutality over and over for the duration. It is almost totally nonstop blasting, energetic, superfast extremity only for the true love-it-all fanatics. They will notice that within the warp speed there are various shades of fast, faster, very fast, and blindingly fast. The whole purpose of this recording must be for Sánchez to paint himself into a very tight corner, and find small ways to make the songs squirm, twist and turn in attempts to differentiate one song from another. If you like to get freaky with basement solo projects of relentless speed, then grab these car keys right here and take it for a spin. The only thing that can be promised to all listeners is that things will go fast, will remain fast throughout for the majority of the time, with a few respites, and the intensity will remain.
