In March 2023 I made my way to Sowaar Bar to catch Worsie Van Wyk live for the first time. In case you did not know, Worsie is an up-and-coming South African Afrikaans Metal artist that has been making waves in the industry over the last couple of years.

More info about Worsie Van Wyk
Worsie van Wyk, despite what the name sounds like, is an Afrikaans metal singer, with an in-your-face sound that would make Dave Mustaine of Megadeth recite a lesson. And yet, between the screaming voice and distorted guitar, are lyrics that are wholesome enough to even be played on RSG. I mean, the oke even does a legit metal cover of “Baby Tjoklits”.
Check out the photo that I snapped of Worsie Van Wyk at Sowaar Bar in March 2023 below. This is your photo of the week on SA Music Zone.
