In 2018 Finnish stoner metal sensations Kaiser released their debut album, 1st Sound. Any guesses as to what’s coming down the pipeline on March 7th with 2nd Sound? Anyone…? Anyone…? With a sound that stands tall and proud in the centre of the sun-baked desert fuzz/soulful British electric blues/thunderous doom thrash Venn diagram, the trio

Imagine how dark and cold it is in Sweden right now. While you’re mulling that frigidness over, have a listen to the new single, “Trenches,” from sludgy Swedish post-metal trio, Kazea, who offer up a chilly, bleak musical landscape, punctuated by tense guitar thrum and understated vocals. The band—Rasmus Lindblom (bass/synth), Jonas Mattsson (vocals/guitar), Daniel Olsson
TÓMARÚM (Photo by Vizions of Mize) Progressive black metal duo Tómarúm have never shied away from pushing their sound—or themselves—to the limit. Their 2022 debut, Ash in Realms of Stone Icons, was a dizzying display of technicality and catharsis, but with their newly announced album, Beyond Obsidian Euphoria, the band sets out on an even
Italian black metal outfit Sakahiter have existed for more than 20 years in the underground but Samnite Black Metal is their first full-length album in that time, coming after a series of demos and EPs (plus a 17-year break).

Chicago blackened death metal outfit Marrowomb is the brainchild of one Frank Lato, who handles the guitar, bass, synth and vocal duties in the band alongside session drummer Kevin Paradis (Benighted). The resulting product is Phisenomie, Marrowomb’s debut album, a potent concoction that walks the line between technical, symphonic and classic death metal. Though Phisenomie doesn’t come out until
Deathrock is having a moment. In the early 80s, the music took hold at a time when the culture faced fears of apocalyptic annihilation by nuclear weapons. Four decades later, a new crop of goth and deathrock bands is creating the soundtrack to an era of authoritarianism and Orwellian manipulation. One of the darkest lights
The festivals this year are really top fucking notch. Bill after bill and lineup after lineup made of just straight fire. Louder Than Life just got a little bit better, too. A Perfect Circle and the early 2000s nü metal band Ra have been added to this year’s lineup. It’s kind of a big show
I don’t think I’ve ever been more jealous of people in Greece than I am right now with this news, and I’ve got several reasons to be jealous. Outside of living in a fuckin paradise, Greek metalheads will get to experience something I likely will never get to in my life—seeing Candlemass perform with one
You wanna know something I can honestly say has never crossed my mind? Wanting to smell like a rockstar, especially one from a nü metal band. I don’t know why but I feel like of all the subgenres they don’t rank very highly in the scent department. But I guess Korn‘s guitarist James “Munky” Shaffer

Greetings, Decibel readers! I sure hope you like death metal. Although there are lots of new releases this week, there’s a conspicuous glut of blood-soaked death that demands our attention.

In just four short years, Philly upstarts Unholy Altar have brought no shortage of new followers to worship their brand of second-wave-inspired black metal. Last year, their Veil of Death!

Sometimes you know a band kicks ass within the first minute of listening. That’s pretty much what happened when I started listening to “Fiends,” the first song off the new EP from Dejecter. God damn, those vocals are deep and devastating, and those riffs are so catchy! There’s a lot going on here sonically, as
Without the ubiquitous “Dis” in front of their moniker, it would be easy to overlook the fact that Industrial Puke are just as crusty as any of their Swedish compatriots in the genre. Yep, this fivesome—Erik Harald (bass), Mattias Rasmusson (drums), Marko Partanen (lead guitar), Jens Ekelin (guitar), Linus Jägerskog (vocals)—ride a furious D-beat on
