WORMBURNER Breaks New Ground as the First AI-Produced Deathcore Album Dedicated to the Philadelphia Eagles
In a collision of chaos, technology, and pure fandom, a new musical experiment has just made history — and it’s loud enough to shake both the music and sports worlds.
Introducing WORMBURNER, the first-ever Philadelphia Eagles-inspired deathcore album created entirely by artificial intelligence. Equal parts brutal, bizarre, and brilliant, the project fuses two worlds rarely seen together: the aggression of heavy metal and the devotion of diehard NFL passion.
At its core, WORMBURNER isn’t just an album — it’s a statement. It’s what happens when machine learning meets human obsession.
From the Gridiron to Grindcore
The concept behind WORMBURNER began as a tongue-in-cheek online experiment. A group of Eagles superfans and metal enthusiasts — many of them digital artists and developers — wondered what would happen if AI was trained to “think” like a Philadelphia Eagles fan and “scream” like a deathcore frontman.
They fed an artificial intelligence engine thousands of data points: NFL commentary, Eagles press conferences, crowd chants from Lincoln Financial Field, classic deathcore lyrics, and sound samples ranging from roaring stadium crowds to collapsing drums.
The result? A soundscape that’s part game-day anthem, part sonic apocalypse.
“We wanted to capture what it feels like to be an Eagles fan — the adrenaline, the heartbreak, the chaos,” said project co-creator and producer known online only as “The Algorithm.” “And honestly, there’s no genre more fitting than deathcore to express that kind of intensity.”
A Tracklist Straight Out of Philly’s Wild Heart
The album features ten tracks, each with titles that pay tribute to the team’s history, players, and the emotional highs and lows of Eagles fandom. Standout songs include:
- “Fourth and Forever” – an opener that blends double-bass drums with AI-generated play-by-play commentary, building into a mechanical breakdown that sounds like a stadium collapsing in on itself.
- “Fly. Die. Repeat.” – a blistering anthem that combines AI-synthesized crowd chants of “E-A-G-L-E-S!” with distorted guitars and machine screams.
- “Wentz.exe” – a tongue-in-cheek nod to the former quarterback era, layered with glitching vocals that mimic corrupted sports radio clips.
- “Midnight at the Linc” – an eerie instrumental inspired by the quiet intensity of Philadelphia’s home stadium before kickoff.
- “No Flags, No Mercy” – a brutal takedown of NFL officiating, blending AI-generated referee calls with guttural roars.
Each song was written, composed, and mixed using a combination of AI text-to-music generators, neural network-based vocal models, and machine mastering tools. The human producers guided the creative direction, but the machine decided everything from structure to tone shifts to lyrical flow.
“It’s human emotion filtered through artificial chaos,” said The Algorithm. “We gave the AI parameters, but it went further — it found rhythm in the madness.”
The Sound: Deathcore Meets Digital Mayhem
Musically, WORMBURNER sits somewhere between artistry and anarchy. It’s not meant to sound polished. Instead, it’s dense, jagged, and unpredictable — the perfect metaphor for the Eagles’ reputation as one of the NFL’s toughest and most passionate teams.
The guitars, generated by a neural model trained on bands like Whitechapel, Thy Art Is Murder, and Lorna Shore, produce an unrelenting wall of distortion. The drum programming is hyper-precise yet chaotic, with machine-level accuracy that borders on unnerving.
And the vocals? Entirely AI-generated — a deep, growling roar synthesized from hundreds of deathcore vocal samples. Yet, somehow, they still carry an eerie humanity.
“There’s something haunting about hearing an AI scream ‘Fly, Eagles, Fly,’” said one early listener. “It’s like Skynet became a Philly fan.”
The production intentionally blurs the line between sports energy and sonic destruction. Between songs, snippets of AI-generated “stadium ambiance” echo — crowd noise, static, even snippets of sports radio hosts arguing — making listeners feel as if they’re trapped inside a dystopian Eagles game.
AI, Music, and the Future of Fandom
WORMBURNER isn’t the first AI-generated album, but it’s one of the most thematically ambitious. What sets it apart is how it channels a cultural identity rather than just mimicking a genre.
For decades, Philadelphia has been known for its passionate, sometimes feral fan base — a city that loves its team with unrivaled intensity. Translating that emotion into sound required more than just code; it required curating chaos.
“We didn’t want the AI to just make noise,” explained Leah “Neural Noise” Carter, one of the project’s engineers. “We wanted it to understand the emotional landscape of being an Eagles fan — the joy, the pain, the resilience. That’s what Philly is. That’s what deathcore is.”
To achieve that, the AI was also trained on fan-submitted audio clips — cheers, boos, even postgame rants from Philadelphia sports talk radio. The system learned tone, energy, and tempo based on emotional spikes detected in speech patterns.
The result is an album that feels alive, pulsing with adrenaline one moment and collapsing into despair the next — much like a season in the NFC East.
Reception: Equal Parts Shock and Awe
Since its debut on Bandcamp and streaming platforms, WORMBURNER has divided listeners — which is exactly what the creators expected.
Hardcore deathcore fans have praised its creativity and absurdity, while traditionalists have dismissed it as “algorithmic noise.” But Eagles fans? They’re eating it up.
“It’s insane, it’s unhinged, it’s Philly,” one Reddit user wrote. “If you don’t get it, you’re probably from Dallas.”
The album has even caught the attention of sports media, with segments on WIP Sports Radio and ESPN Philly referencing it as “the most metal love letter ever written to a football team.”
Meanwhile, AI ethicists and musicians have been debating its implications. Does WORMBURNER represent the next frontier in fan expression — or the beginning of art’s automation?
“It’s weirdly poetic,” said one critic. “AI used to replace human creativity — but here, it’s celebrating it. It’s like the machine is screaming for us, not instead of us.”
The Legacy of WORMBURNER
Whether you see it as an experiment, a satire, or a sonic revolution, WORMBURNER proves one thing: the future of art isn’t human or artificial — it’s both.
For Eagles fans, it’s something even more personal. It’s the perfect soundtrack to a city that thrives on heart, grit, and noise.
“We’re not trying to replace musicians,” said The Algorithm. “We’re trying to amplify emotion — to let technology scream what fans already feel.”
As the final track, “Never Punt Again,” fades out into a distorted chant of “Go Birds,” you can’t help but feel it — that strange, familiar mix of chaos and pride that defines Philadelphia sports.
It’s deathcore. It’s digital. It’s deranged.
It’s WORMBURNER. 🦅🎧🔥
