Ruff Majik are back after nearly a year away with “Can of Wyrms”, a cathartic single paying tribute to a fallen friend. Featuring crowd vocals from members of the local music scene, alongside Benjamin Berdous of Norwegian band Slomosa, the track confronts grief head-on but leaves listeners with a sense of hope.
More than just a return, “Can of Wyrms” feels like a line drawn in the sand. It sees the band pushing into a more anthemic sound, driven by sharp, grooving riffs and a dynamic tension between light and dark. While the lyrics carry a mournful weight, the uplifting energy of the music ensures the song doesn’t sink under its own sadness.
The soaring, instantly memorable chorus, opening with “May Valkyries carry you home”, is tailor-made for the joyous chaos of a Ruff Majik live show and is destined to become a full-throated singalong.
“Can of Wyrms” is out now, with all proceeds donated to the South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG). Stream the track, turn it up loud, and support a cause that truly matters.
