Sludge crushers Come to Grief formed out of the ashes of the legendary Grief, picking up where the influential band started. Though they formed in 2014, it took Come to Grief a few years to release any studio output and almost 10 years for their first proper album, When the World Dies.  Because EPs, splits and demos are

Northern Michigan quartet, The Glorious Dead, announces their return today with the release of their lead single, “Horizons of Ash.” The group spent the entirety of the global pandemic working on their newest material–honing their craft and galvanizing their core sound. As a result, their punishing, second full-length record entitled Cemetery Paths exudes a more dynamic progression

There’s a lot of dark, cavernous death metal out there today. The system of caves and tunnels are seemingly endless, providing listeners with ever more ways to plumb the subterranean depths of brutality. Scotland’s Order of Decay occupies there own corner of this complex, and are ready to smash out to the surface wit their

Thrashcore up-and-comers Tortured Demon are already making their mark on the heavy music scene, and they are younger than your average death metal band. The band just dropped a new song, “Global Threat,” from their upcoming album Rise Of The Lifeless, out June 2. They are going on tour in support of the record this

Ufomammut have released their song from the Superunknown Redux Soundgarden cover album. The track they covered is “Let Me Drown,” and it adds even more sludge and drone elements to a song that already paved the way for those genres. “Something was happening to underground music at the end of the eighties,” says Ufomammut’s guitarist Poia, according

We’re already pumped about Rockstar, Dolly Parton‘s forthcoming rock album, and now, she has released the first song from that record, “World On Fire.” It’s no secret that Dolly has been making headlines lately with her bold opposition to the anti-trans and anti-drag laws in her home state of Tennessee, no doubt pissing off the

It’s been almost a month Metallica‘s 72 Seasons dropped and it’s been two weeks since their massive M72 world tour kicked off, but the excitement around the biggest metal band in the world remains white hot. Over the last few days, Metallica’s camp has been slow dripping some high-def, pro-shot footage from their April 29

So, what’s everyone listening to this weekend? Some awesome shit came out the last few days, from the weird new Avenged Sevenfold single, to the Nita Strauss album announcement (and single), to the absolute apocalyptic scorcher that’s Cattle Decapitation’s Terrasite. We really are spoiled rotten as metal fans, aren’t we? As you get into this

Nu metal band Sicksense just released a new song, “Feed Them To The Wolves” alongside a new video for the track. This is of note because the band features Vicky “Killer V” Psarakis formerly of The Agonist, who recently broke up. Rob The Ripper of Stuck Mojo is also in the band. This is the

Texas death metal band Severance had a creative idea and played a show in front of their local GameStop during the drop of the new The Legend of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom drop. This took place on May 11, the night fans lined up outside GameStops across the U.S. to wait for their copy

What’s up? It’s your old boy Waldo to inform you about some new and upcoming releases—good, bad or otherwise. Remember, I’m not an elitist, you just have terrible taste. Sleep Token is releasing Take Me Back To Eden. I had never heard of these guys until the infamous “somebody ripping a big one during a

From teaching us about a boy from a town called “Kickapoo” to the efficiency of “Cock Pushups,” Jack Black and Kyle Gass know what’s goin’ on. That’s why when they released a music video titled “Video Games,” this nerdy metalhead was stoked as hell. And thankfully the song and accompanying music video met my expectations.

Yesterday, desert rock mainstays Queens of the Stone Age announced their next studio release In Times New Roman…, along with its first single “Emotion Sickness.” At the time, all we got was an audio visualizer of the song but earlier today, the band dropped the song’s official music video and boy, is it weird. Serving

If you like death metal that’s willing to explore its own boundaries while still remaining brutal and raw as hell, then Denver’s Astral Tomb is the band for you. Their debut album Soulgazer proved this last year, and the band shows no sign of slowing the pace, with their second album due this July: Total

Happy Friday! God is dead and all we got is a new Avenged Sevenfold song. Ascended Dead Evenfall of the Apocalypse (20 Buck Spin) California death dealers Ascended Dead are here to chew bubblegum and play ripping death metal and they’re all out of bubblegum. Evenfall of the Apocalypse is one of the nastiest and

photo by Andrew Sanyshyn A lot of bands just kind of do their thing—no label, no PR push, no pay-to-play on websites of dubious ethical character for a single goddamn song premiere. It’s often unclear if these bands want more for themselves or their only option is DIY or and die. We try our best

It’s been nine long years, but U.S. extreme metal titans Inferion are back with their diverse and crushing new album Inequity, which Decibel proudly streams ahead of its May 19 release through Horror Pain Gore Death Productions. “After nine years of writing, shifting gears, battling a pandemic and other life happenings, we are proud to

Photo by Mathias Coulouri Despite the, ahem, distinct lack of “dis” in their name, Industrial Puke are just as crusty and D-beat lovin’ as any of their fellow Discharge-worshipping Swedes. The new quintet—Linus Jägerskog (vocals), Mattias Rasmusson (drums), Marko Partanen (guitar), Erik Harald (bass), Jens Ekelin (guitar/vocals)—was formed by members of Burst, Obstruktion, Blessings, Gust

Some of the best, most engaging European extreme metal of the early ’90s was made by artists who didn’t quite know what they were making. These young reprobates were meddling with the primal forces of nature, to quote a red-faced Ned Beatty in Network, and they stumbled into something ineffable and transcendent. Think Mortuary Drape

Of all the places you’d expect to hear a real discussion of mental health issues, a freakin’ Disturbed concert wouldn’t be one that came to mind. Yet that’s what happened during the band’s May 4 appearance at Hog Fest, as vocalist David Draiman took a moment out of the show to open up about his
