The Saturday gig’s openers were local bands Glistening Red Chair and Man Dead Set. Both bands played riffy 30-minute sets, before Indonesia’s Fingerprint took the stage with even more hardcore breakdowns.
Having taken over after the previous vocalist’s departure in 2023, Zuma has still not missed a beat, delivering both powerful, crowd-inciting vocals while shredding on the guitar. The band as a whole put out a tight set: bassist SE7 was the only other core member, while the other two on guitar and the drum kit were likely session musicians.
Kruelty played a mix of their old songs, along with newer ones from its 2023 album Untopia and last year’s EP like Profane Usurpation and Harder Than Before.
As the headliner, Wormrot came up next to play the gig’s final set. While Fitri and Rasyid were busy setting up their drum kit and guitars, respectively, vocalist Arif was in the corner doing stretches and breathing exercises. At the time, fans did not realise this was actually a giant, flashing neon sign of what was about to happen.
To paint a picture: Petai Belalang KL is a relatively small-to-mid size in terms of local venues. At the start of the gig, there was still breathing space and even tiny “corridors” for everyone to manoeuvre around. These began to shrink thanks to Kruelty.
Every small void in between each person was immediately filled up. People pushed their way to the front, and turning to look at the back, there was an endless sea of heads headbanging. In the middle of the packed tuna can that Petai Belalang transformed into, there was a mosh pit.
Wormrot played roughly 20 songs from previous albums, opening with its popular grind hits that included The Darkest Burden and Behind Closed Doors. A bulk of the songs from the first half of its set were from its 2016 album Voices, while crowd favourites like Voiceless Choir and When Talking Fails, It’s Time for Violence! from 2022’s Hiss dominated the back end of their set.
The gig in Malaysia, which also included Ipoh and Johor, were the final dates in Wormrot’s Southeast Asia tour, which itself comes after a lengthy tour through the US.
