In the great tradition of bands naming songs after themselves, off of albums named after themselves, comes “Clamfight,” a new song from New Jersey sludge crew Clamfight, off their upcoming album Clamfight. The sludgy tune is a hefty beast in length and sonic heaviness, but also in its emotional weight and celebration of friendship. “The lyrics and

Happy Easter and Passover to those that celebrate. It’s a gorgeous weekend and you know what that means if you’ve also looked at today’s date — IT’S TIME FOR FUN WEED TIMES OUTSIDE! Go hang with some friends, find some Easter eggs, and then it’s come to spark up and chill the fuck out while

I’m so glad Youth Code has made their comeback. They released their first single in over four years, “No Consequences,” about a month ago, and they’re back again! This time, they’re sharing “In Search of Tomorrow,” accompanied by an entrancing visualizer. Watch it below. As a reminder, Youth Code joined the Sumerian Records family recently.

As much as I’m sure we would all love to see this, Paul Mazurkiewicz, the drummer for Cannibal Corpse, is not doing stand-up comedy. I repeat: Paul Mazurkiewicz is not doing stand-up comedy. The un-Comedian Corpse apparently needed to set this record straight, as he did in a recent interview with the Iron City Rocks

Panpsychism From the blazing crucible of Pueblo, Colorado, death/thrash newcomers Panpsychism are out to make their presence known with Imperfect Mortality, their debut full-length recorded at Hahn Audio and produced, mixed, and mastered by Taylor Hahn. Named after the philosophical idea that consciousness pervades all things, Panpsychism inject a similarly all-consuming intensity into their sound—a

If you’ve ever wanted to hear the vibe of doom-laden bands like Subrosa blended with the sonic approach of bands like True Widow, L.A,’s Faetooth is the perfect band for you. The band terms their special brand of spookiness “fairy-doom,” a fitting term that definitely wins Decibel‘s endorsement. To that end, we are happy to present

Greetigs, Decibel readers! It’s a big day today, as we’ve got the new album from Ancient Death to celebrate, but also new ones from some lesser-known names as well. And Iron Lung is back! And the new Wulkanaz is really cool! Enjoy! — Ancestor of Kaos – Animal Ritual Originally from Havana, this Florida-based black metal

Describing itself as “an experimental grindcore project” Defigurement features guitarist Kevin Fetus (Lack Of Interest, Fetus Eaters, ex-Murder Construct), bassist Damian “DMT” Talmadge (Mormon Mincers, Violent Opposition, ex-Bad Acid Trip), drummer Mike Heller (Malignancy, Raven, ex-Fear Factory) and vocalist Matti Güey (Rottenness, Formless Master). The four conflicting and diverging, but unified and converging, minds have

This album is a milestone for the band, introducing the potent element of Takiaya Reed’s vocals. Regarding their single from the record, “Grief,” she says, “I

It drops officially on April 18 via These Hands Melt Records. Check out the experimental, out-of-the-box blend of influences below.  Pink Noise Youth by SVNTH The band say about the release of

They were all cast as voice actors for 1986’s The Transformers: The Movie. Seriously! Hell, for Crothers

You may not think of progressive metal when you think of Puerto Rico, but MOTHS are out here to make a believer out of you. Earlier today, the band announced the upcoming release of their fourth full-length album, Septem, along with its first single “Gluttony”. Set to release on August 14, Septem is described as

Ancestor of Kaos play black metal that rocks. Or, rather, Ancestor of Kaos play black metal that thrashes on their new album, Animal Ritual, which the band self-recorded and will release later this week on Horror Pain Gore Death Productions. The thing that stands out the most about Animal Ritual is the enthusiasm and aforementioned

Asheville, North Carolina outfit Mo’ynoq have spent the last decade dispelling the myth that black metal only comes out of the frozen north, infusing their brand of USBM with an atmosphere that recalls their home in the southern United States. Three years after their last release, 2022’s A Place for Ash, Mo’ynoq are back in action and they

Photo by Julie Didomenico Going back to the early ’80s, Chicago has a long reputation for noisy industrial rock. The home of Touch & Go and Wax Trax! Records, the city has churned out decades of aggressive, edgy bands. New trio, Burndy, follows that tradition in unconventional fashion, as illuminated on their new single. “Static,” taken

You’ve been itching for a playlist update and daddy’s got that for ya right now. Have no fear, kiddos. This week, we added a fuckton of new songs, including some that didn’t make the cut last week. We’ve added Behemoth, Ghost, and a whole slew of other tracks for you to sink your teeth into.

It’s always nice when a band wants the fans to be a part of the process. We’re here to show them love, and this is just one way they can seemingly reciprocate it. One band that’s ripping and roaring to do that is the Bay Area band Machine Head, who are set to film a

It’s the obvious low-hanging fruit, so I won’t make some joke about Tesla cars and Tesla the band because, what purpose would it serve besides making me giggle? BUT, since we’re on the Tesla topic, it seems as though Tommy Skeoch, the band’s former guitarist and the current guitarist for the rock band Bad Marriage,

I don’t know how well you know me, but if you do, you know that I’m a big fan of playing roulette. And if you know me you also know that – not to yank own chain to hard – I’m pretty fucking good at it! Over the years, I’ve developed a simple system based

Photo by Shaman Gibson Seems like there’s a little interband competition with the members of Ohio sludge/stoner/doom lords Moontemple as to who can grow the mightiest beard. What they lack in locks, they make up for in crumb-catching whiskers. We only know this from the new video for their latest single, “Horus,” which is a
