Name: Ringworm
Featured track:"Justice Replaced By Revenge"
City of origin: Cleveland, Ohio
Genre: Metal
In one sentence: This veteran band has endured a few lineup and label changes over the decades, but one thing that has stayed consistent is its bludgeoning aural assault.
Why we chose them: Catch the band just days before unleashing a brand-new record, Hammer of the Witch on Relapse Records (coming March 18). Plus, in the midst of SXSW standards, hardcore music needs some love, too.
SXSW official showcase: 10:55 pm on Friday, March 14 at Dirty Dog Bar
