Ringworm is an American hardcore punk band formed in Cleveland, Ohio in 1989. Their name was derived from a Vincent Price movie. The band has toured extensively in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe and has released four albums on Victory Records. In 2013, the band announced they had signed with Relapse Records and that their next album would be released through them. Vocalist Human Furnace currently plays in the Cleveland metal band Gluttons, and solo project Holyghost.

Musical style

According to frontman Human Furnace, while being interviewed by Davin Deblat in 2019 he mentions the band's sound and style as well as their association in both the metal and hardcore scene:

"If you look at the songs that we play, and what we're about, 70–80 percent of our songs are mostly just thrash. Very fast, very thrashy, and then you got some breakdowns. When you play a hardcore gig, everyone just stares at you for your whole set and they just wait for that one riff so they can spin around in circles and crowd-kill. And I'm not really about that. So when you play a metal show and you play thrash riffs and headbanging riffs, then metalheads respond to that and it's a fun thing. I definitely relate more to that scene because that's what I am. I grew up a punk rock kid, a metal kid, so I have a lot more in common with that scene… these days, anyway."
