Description
Austin, TX gimp mask-wearing, blood-spraying punks TEAR DUNGEON are excited to announce their new album, Squirm, available October 2, 2026 via TODO Records. The first preview, “I’m Not Dead Yet,” arrives today with a parasitic riff and a brash mentality towards mortality. The official music video was filmed at the band’s infamous show at the now-defunct DIY venue, The Ghost Cat Lounge, in which the audience and band demolished the venue. Riding sheets of drywall, ripping everything down to the studs, and unleashing utter chaos, TEAR DUNGEON’s destructive catharsis brings the crowd alive.
Squirm marks the follow-up to 2022's Carl, and finds TEAR DUNGEON turning their sludge-soaked riffs and glass-gargling vocals toward some of their most direct targets yet: police brutality, empty piety, and the rot underneath modern American life. Tracks like "Shame" and "God Is Winning" take aim at hypocrisy and collapse in equal measure, barreling forward without ever letting up. The album was tracked by Stuart Sikes, mixed by John Michael Landon at Estuary Recording, and mastered by Greg Obis at Chicago Mastering Service. Squirm is a full-band effort, matching the record's scorched-earth intensity to the same relentless pace that has defined the band's onstage reputation.
