Since 2017, WORN OUT have made a sizeable impact on the Irish hardcore and metal community. Described as “Razor Sharp Metallic Hardcore” by Distorted Sound Magazine, the band played shows with notable acts such as God Mother, Palm Reader & Conjurer, helping to grow a reputation as a formidable live act from the outset.
Following a string of well-received singles and extensive touring around the country, they unleashed their debut EP “WASTE” in 2021 to critical acclaim; receiving an 8/10 from Distorted Sound Magazine, 9/10 from Overdrive.ie and 10/10 from GBHBL, amongst others, as well as being described as having "menacing intensity" by Metalsucks.
2022 saw the release of their single "Bridgeburner", featuring guest vocals from Justin Paul Hill of the tech-metal pioneers Sikth. The aftermath continued to cement their reputation as a hard-working DIY band; touring with hardcore/ noise icons such as Cro-Mags and Unsane, as well as with UK powerhouses Burner & Harbinger. WORN OUT show no signs of slowing down, with 2024 seeing them bring their intense & often unpredictable live show to stages around the UK & Ireland, alongside bands such as Brujeria, Borstal and Hero In Error, with more to announce.
LOW sees the band embrace the aggressive, abrasive and chaotic aspect of their metallic sound, as well as delving deeper into the more atmospheric side hinted at on their previous releases. Mixed by Joe Clayton and mastered by Sam Bloor, with the band taking on the majority of the recording themselves, the EP combines a broad range of influences; clashing melody, dissonance & heavy rhythms with a scathing vocal delivery.
LOW is set for a digital/ vinyl release on August 30th, with a cassette release via Death Farm Records & exclusive UK distro through Ripcord Records
