Behind the name are some old dogs of the Bulgarian underground metal scene who have gathered for the love of old school death metal with thrashy riffing and a twist of melody. Oh, and the name “Maltworm” was picked after looking for an old English word that could describe everyone’s passion for beer and whiskey.
Maltworm publicly announced their intentions with the debut single “Yersinia Pestis” (2019), recorded, mixed and mastered by Vladimir Bochev (Zero Project Studios) in Sofia, Bulgaria. Shortly after the band entered the same studio once again - this time for their debut full length. A virus-that-should-not-be-named would delay the release of the debut album 'Global Worming' until the Fall of 2022, however the result fully represents the vision of the band - true to its roots, but at the same time not-boring extreme metal.
In the summer of 2023 the underdogs have unexpectedly become the winner of the Bulgarian finals of Wacken Metal Battle, and played one of the most renowned metal festivals in the world, Wacken Open Air. Subsequently, more touring in Bulgaria and Romania, as well as some festival appearances took place.
At this point Maltworm continues writing material for their second full-length, but has a couple of new tracks ready to be unleashed to the wide world. The latest singles “The Ballad Of Caleb” (2023) and “To Serve In Silence” (2024) are a nice taste of what is about to come.
