Αν υπάρχει κάτι που χαρακτηρίζει τους Whipworm, αυτό είναι η αδιάκοπη διάθεση να σπρώχνουν τον ήχο τους στα άκρα — και με το Death Beyond το κάνουν πιο ξεκάθαρα από ποτέ.

Το thrash/death metal ντουέτο από το Λος Άντζελες, Whipworm, επιστρέφει με το πέμπτο τους ολοκληρωμένο άλμπουμ, «Death Beyond», ένα εννοιολογικό ταξίδι που ωθεί ακόμη περισσότερο τον χαρακτηριστικό συνδυασμό επιθετικότητας, έντασης και αφήγησης της μπάντας.

Whipworms and hookworms live in the intestines and rely on us to excrete their fertilized eggs, which hatch and spend their larval stage in the soil.

Whipworm, for instance, is an ancient human disease, and its family tree confirms its migration out of Africa with Homo sapiens. Similarly, the most important species of hookworm (Necator americanus) is a legacy of the Pleistocene dispersal. Other important worms, such as roundworms, may have developed later – a product of animal domestication during the Holocene.

WHIPWORM-DESTRUCTOR
Catching the Worm
Caused by the whipworm parasite, the disease Trichuriasis is prevalent in tropical areas and affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide, yet it’s often overlooked. A few treatments are available, but none are effective at complete eradication, so finding other treatment options is essential. One major obstacle to preventing this disease is that we don’t know what happens in the early stages of infection by this parasitic worm. Using their new organoid ‘mini gut’ model, researchers have discovered that whipworms degrade the mucus layers within our gut and create tunnels to access our cells. These tunnels are thought to provide shelter and a continuous source of nutrients so that the worm can persist in the gut. In this video, the worm, the host cells and the tunnels can finally be visualised. Finding ways to stop these worms tunnelling may pave the way to preventing this disease.
