It took almost no time for Civilized Worm to to put together enough new material for a new tape, and I got to write the music for three of these new jams. Our last release was recorded live in my basement, but we did this one in separate sessions, with the drums tracked first. It sounds pretty heavy. We decided not to release it until the band started playing shows again. If I'd known the pandemic was happening, I would have spent a lot more time getting my drums perfect. Either way, I think this tape shows a great progression for the band.

In 2018, Porunga was slated to be without a vocalist and on a haitus from doing shows, and I couldn't very well be on a haitus from playing shows. My friend Danny McKinley was a fan of Porunga and said we inspired him to play guitar in his own heavy project, and I offered to play drums, and we got Mitch Duncan to play bass. I had a lot of band name ideas for this group, like The Schwartz and The Gods of Jesus. For a while, we were going to be called Ranglefant, but settled on Civilized Worm. We are to The Melvins what Hatebreed are to The Misfits, maybe not. However, I would call this music sludge. These 8 songs were recorded in my basement in 2019.

For most of the writing and recording of this album, I didn't have a working computer, countered with an excess of heavy music ideas. Some might say this album would have had more appeal, had it had less songs, and less songs that don't sound like the last eighty songs I'd recorded and released. Songwriters evolve, and that evolution happens within shorter time frames when you write as much as I. Too bad it took me so long to get good at drums, but what can you do? I didn't want anyone else playing on my album and trying to tell me how my songs should be played. The original tapes I put this release on were found in the dumpster of a thrift store. So punk.
