Dreamworm is a heavy, genre-blending force born from a vision of cosmic transformation. Founded by Tom, whose personal struggles inspired the band’s unique philosophy, Dreamworm combines thrash, death, industrial, and progressive metal with punk and funk influences. The project was conceived during a pivotal moment when Tom, sitting in his car, envisioned the Dreamworm soaring through space, destined to consume the Earth. This vision became the foundation for their music and aesthetic.

Dreamworm’s journey began with the release of their self-titled debut album in 2018, which delved into humanity’s darkest corners through a cosmic metaphor. Their live debut at Rubix Warehouse in Melbourne in 2019 set the tone for their high-energy, immersive shows. A significant milestone followed with the release of the music video for “Tranceform,” showcasing the band’s heavy yet melodic and groovy style. The sophomore EP, The Journey (2024), reflects their evolution, incorporating influences from psychedelic experiences and emphasizing themes of self-transformation.

Dreamworm’s live performances are an unforgettable blend of intensity, humor, and community. Fans—affectionately known as “Children of the Worm”—headbang, mosh, and laugh as the band mixes heavy, serious lyrical themes with playful stage banter. Dreamworm often closes sets with unexpected metal covers of pop songs, ensuring a memorable and entertaining experience. With dark psychedelic and cosmic horror visuals currently in development, the band is committed to creating a multi-sensory spectacle at every show.

At its core, Dreamworm embodies a philosophy of growth and transformation, inviting fans into a parody cult that unites humor with profound artistic expression. The mantra “The Dreamworm is coming” reflects their origin story and drives their commitment to community and catharsis.
As their audience and influence grow, Dreamworm continues to gain recognition for their innovative sound and captivating performances. Their accomplishments include steady increases in show attendance, merchandise sales, streaming numbers, and social media engagement. Successfully crowdfunding The Journey EP is another testament to their fans’ support and belief in their vision.

Dreamworm’s long-term aspirations include touring globally, playing major festivals, and becoming a cornerstone of the metal music scene.
