Boston sludge/funeral doom crew Fórn went quiet shortly after the release of 2018’s Rites of Despair, their second LP. The release was followed by a series of events, both personal and worldwide, that kept Fórn quiet for the better part of six years. The dry streak ended earlier this year when the quartet announced their third album, Repercussions of

Ignominous Hailing from Thessaloniki, Greece, black metal trio Ignominous emerge from the shadows with the release of their first single from the upcoming debut album Dawn With No Light. Formed in 2020, the band features Anestis Nekhromancer (Terrordrome, Twilight, Obscence, Medivial) on bass, Chris (ex-Regent) on guitar and vocals, and Billy Vongaar (Terrordrome, Twilight, Disembowel,

New Zealand is home to some of the most ferocious and feral metal on the planet, and Ifrit is no exception to this legacy of brutality. On the band’s new EP, Haunting Charnel Grounds, the band blazes a trail of blackened death metal destruction. Fans of Angelcorpse, Immolation, Bolt Thrower, Incantation, and Gateways-era Morbid Angel will find a lot to

Change is afoot with the insanely fast, talented, and based Irish thrash metal outfit Gama Bomb. Roughly five years after their longtime drummer Paul Caffrey left the band, they’ve officially filled in that vacancy with a full-time drummer by bringing their live drummer Chris Williams into the fold. Williams has been playing with Gama Bomb

Killer black ‘n’ roll records are rare in the American underground, which makes Summer, the debut album from Raleigh, North Carolina rockers Valletta, even more enjoyable. Formed by members of Mo’ynoq and Lord Almighty along with vocalist Will Goodyear (Prayer for Cleansing, Hopesfall, ex-Between the Buried and Me), Valletta play black ‘n’ roll that’s inspired by mid-career

Get excited, doom metal fans. It’s looking like Denver’s own Khemmis have something new coming. In a recent tweet, the band revealed that they were working on their fifth full-length album and follow up to 2021’s Deceiver. In addition to it being a minute since their last slate of new music, things have been relatively

You need to wear earplugs at concerts. You just do. I’ve been going to loud rock concerts since I was 14 years old and I just started wearing earplugs a few years back and, let me tell you, I wish I had started a lot earlier. If I could meet my younger self like in

I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’ll never be on the fame end of the show stick, casting eyes down at the main character in the front row versus being the one casting eyes up. And, that’s okay. I’m fine with it. Much like how Guitar Hero and Rockband did for us back

Talk about a good moonlighting gig. Sure, everyone is dynamic in their own way with so many sides to them, but you wouldn’t necessarily expect a pretty mild-mannered profession to have such a metal-mannered alternative. Chinese black metal band Zuriaake has been paving the way for Chinese black metal basically forever at this point, but

Where they from?Sydney, Australia. As everyone gets excited for the NFL season I am here to simply remind everyone of one indisputable fact: the New York Mets suck. They currently are only 2.5 games back from the Atlanta Braves for the last wild card spot in the NL but it doesn’t matter because they can’t

Denver doom trio Oryx have always wielded heaviness deftly, knowing when to crush the listener and when to pull back. That hasn’t changed on new album Primordial Sky. If anything, it’s only gotten more pronounced, as you’ll hear on “Myopic,” the first track from the band’s upcoming release, due out October 18 on Translation Loss. Adding a blackened

Massachusetts crushers Thy Will Be Done spent plenty of time in the aughts and early 2010s grinding through the underground scene, touring across North America, Europe, the UK and Japan, while releasing two albums and an EP. While they never truly went away, things slowed down and there weren’t many releases until 2020, when Thy Will Be

Greetings, Decibel readers! I’m about to head out for a fantastic late holiday in northern New England, but before I let myself feel totally checked out (enjoying a strong drink on an Adirondack chair), let’s make sure you’re all set for heavy music this weekend! It’s an especially ferocious week, so buckle up. — Avmakt

Italian cult death metal heroes Fulci are fresh off slitting throats with their recently released fourth proper LP, Duck Face Killings, but Decibel isn’t finished adding to the body count. We present a brand new exclusive track,

The Hostage Situation Marking their first new music in 18 years, Arizona’s chaotic hardcore veterans, The Hostage Situation, have made a thunderous return with their latest single, “The Last Leg,” and an equally intense music video to match. The video throws viewers into a whirlwind of glitchy, rapid-fire scenes, blending elements of DIY punk aesthetics

Doom—a short, monosyllabic word synonymous to which any patron of this website may claim a connection. While our less digitally-savvy readership will bring to mind the image of stacks of amps and the sounds of slowed, mammoth riffs drenched in reverb, the inside kids that keep up with Kill Screen are keenly aware of another

This weekend, cult death metal heroes — and recent Decibel Hall of Fame inductees — Deathevokation return to the stage as part of Decibel‘s epic 20th Anniversary Show at Brooklyn Bowl Philadelphia. To celebrate, w’re streaming the first new Deathevokation recording in 15 years via the Decibel Flexi Series!  “Black Blood” appears on this exclusive

Uniform‘s new album American Standard is a bold step forward for the NYC band. The punchy industrial stylings have been, in many areas, taken over by droning instrumentals that sound almost like doom metal or shimmering, soaring textures that feel wonderfully at odds with the grimy core. Still, the album is as abrasive as ever,
