Hello, again! Smokey Goretooth here bringing you a new “Do I Suck?,” MetalSucks’ version of “Am I The Asshole?” where we take real life horror stories and bring them to our readers to decide if the OP sucks for some bullshit they may or may not have done. This week’s submission comes from someone calling

Cartilage | Photo by Kel Mowry San Francisco deathgrinders Cartilage have never exactly been known for practicing restraint, but on third full-length Operating Altar, the Bay Area gore merchants have found a way to make their particular pathology even more elaborate. Rather than assembling another collection of individual incisions, the band conceived the record as

Where they from?Magnicide are from Singapore and Punished Earth are from Belgium. NFL starts this week. I gave my joke Super Bowl prediction a few weeks ago (Jets vs Lions) but my much more serious, big-boy prediction is 49ers vs Broncos. It’s equal parts boring and derivative, just like everything else in our rapidly decomposing

Hey everybody, a new and improved Dave Mustcomplain here. My old lady and I just came back from church, and I’ll be goddamned if the Holy Spirit didn’t personally reach down and touch me on the tits. Said I need to be more open-minded and less filled with rage, yet here Doreen had been angry

For more than 30 years,Stinking Lizavetahave pushed the boundaries of multiple genres of heavy music with their doom-jazz-punk style, releasing 10 records since 1994. Their latest record,Cassandra, Prophet of Doom, comes out September 18 but you can tap in to a new single now. “Champion of My Mind” is a three-minute jammer from the instrumental

Because there is absolutely nothing worth celebrating this Labor Day weekend, why not at least make a little bit of noise to drown out the sound of the festivities that really shouldn’t be happening while making those fest? Rigor Morrissey reporting for duty. We can sit here until the cows come home, arguing with Dave

Greetings,Decibel readers! What an incredible day for new releases! We’ve got two bigDecibelfavorites down below, names that will definitely be fresh in the minds of subscribers, along with some lesser-known bands that are definitely worth your time. And there’s a newSigh album. Let’s go! — Acausal Intrusion – Vomit Meditations Terrifying, menacing technical blackened death

Ashes Against the Grain is a classic American metal record, but Ashes Against the Grain is also a middle child. Obviously, no band can know such a thing during the process of creation, but certain markers reveal themselves in retrospect. In the late ’90s, John Haughm, Don Anderson and Jason William Walton pooled the musical

Stockholm’s God Mother will share their third full-length album, Köttvärld(translated:Meat World), scheduled for release September 25. Check out the track “False Self” from the album below ahead of the release. Köttvärld by GOD MOTHER “Living in a world where hope of a better tomorrow and joy is an act of resistance—This song is about finding

It always stops me in my tracks a little bit when I’m reminded that the same Martin Rygge that is responsible for one half of the guitar insanity in Oslo avant-grinders Beaten to Death is also responsible for one half of the chin-stroking technical wizardy in Oslo progressive metal trio Grant the Sun. The band

It’s not often we get to premiere a more or less brand new band and their first release, but Baltimore blackgazers Stellar Rot are so fresh they aren’t even listed on Metal Archives (though the duo’s previous USBM outfit Unendlich are on there).The outfit was formed in 2025 byScott Ferguson (drums/vocals) and Mike Connors (guitar/bass/synth)

Goddamn heart’s acting up again… think it might be all the stress being put on it by these fucking lunatic Socialists trying to take over our country. Thank God I have Fox News to mainline the straight dope into my veins for three hours every night so I can stay informed on how badly our

Well, it’s September now, and some people still suck. It’s Smokey Goretooth here with another “Do I Suck?,” MetalSucks’ version of “Am I The Asshole?” where we take real life horror stories and bring them to our readers to decide if the OP sucks for some bullshit they may or may not have done.

Central American cohortMorbid Stench, comprised of musicians spread across El Salvador and Costa Rica, will soon continue the spread of their brand of underground death/doom with the release of third albumDoom Metástasis. Featuring the same lineup as when the band started in 2014, Morbid Stench have grown as musicians, matching the rotting pace of the

Indianapolis doom crewVeilcasteare back withHellward, their fourth album in six years, later this week andDecibelhas an early sampling of the release for your early listening consumption.Hellwardrecalls the melodic side of doom, Cathedral and their ilk, mixed with the brooding anger of nastier sludge, like Crowbar and Eyehategod, and the quiet/loud intensity of post-metal. Veilcaste approach

“Hey, for our band logo, why don’t we use Comic Sans?” – SAID NO METAL BAND EVER! I get it, there is nothing metal about Times New Roman –or any other font that is legible for that matter –but as a cixelsyd, sorry dyslexic, I even get that word backwards; I need to know: How

If you question my expertise on sceney-bopper-ness, let me walk you through a moment in time. I’m standing in the sitting room, my mother in the kitchen, and I’m begging her to let me either a) cut my fringe to one of those cool, massive emo fringes that were huge on Tumblr, or b) let

Greetings,Decibel readers! We’ve got lots of big names to cover this week, from space-metal royalty, to a German thrash institution, to Britain’s atmospheric standard bearers. It should all make for great listening while you hope no other cherished celebrities born in the 1940s leave us this year (Timothy Dalton must be protected at all costs!).

Boston’sFinal Gaspare a breath of fresh air in the underground community. Converging at the intersection of deathrock and hardcore, the Northeast quintet have developed a sound they can call their own. While this year’s powerful offeringNew Day Symptomsis a wonderful showcase of their ability, it doesn’t tell the whole story. With the help of the
