Ringworm is a metallic hardcore act with thrash, black, and death metal underpinnings that grew out of the fertile Cleveland underground punk scene of the early '90s. Led by vocalist and sole constant member James "Human Furnace" Bulloch, the band's earlier works embraced the pit-inducing fury of classic hardcore. Later efforts like 2005's Justice Replaced by Revenge, 2014's Hammer of the Witch, and 2023's Seeing Through Fire saw the group lean hard into their thrash tendencies while retaining an immovable foundation of brutalist hardcore.
