Yet another tour was announced earlier today and it seems like if you’re a fan of that post-hardcore/metalcore sound, then this run’s for you. That’s because Dayseeker are going on their ‘Dark Sun Protocol’ North American tour later this year with Alphawolf, Catch Your Breath, and Kingdom of Giants. Starting from August 27 in Dallas,

Maryland Deathfest—and with it, Memorial Day—is over, which means summer is upon us. While you might not get to see Bloodbath or Weekend Nachos again soon, the summer release calendar is loaded with death metal of all stripes. Check out our countdown of five albums you’d be a fool to ignore. Ulcerate – Cutting the

Few things will give you a more bleak outlook on humanity than its own sordid, blood-soaked history. Mankind is a savage entity with the capacity to be as great as it is terrible; how appropriate, then, that one of the most effective ways to commemorate and immortalize some of our lowest moments, defining though they

After months away from the spotlight (barring a few performances here and there), Metallica are back on the road for their ongoing M72 World Tour. With the first two stops of this run taking place in Munich, Germany, there was always going to be a chance that the guys were going to break out an

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a renowned institution dedicated to memorializing the greatest artists in the history of rock music. But it has a secondary function which is to fuel pointless controversies within rock music. You’ll remember the time in 2007 when Fox News invented a controversy over their claim that the

Childbirth is said to be the most painful experience that a human can experience, and it’s a pain that nobody assigned male at birth can ever really understand. Except for Disturbed guitarist Dan Donegan, apparently, as he thinks that his gout is worse. In a recent interview with Instagram Live on a drive back from

New Jersey thrash metal legends Overkill just finished scorching Latin America, so now it’s time to scorch Europe. According to Blabbermouth, after wrapping up their Latin American tour to support their 2023 album Scorched in São Paulo, Brazil at Summer Breeze Open Air Brasil, the band announced a string of European tour dates for August

Kenneth “K.K.” Downing is not technically a founding member of Judas Priest, but only because none of the true founding members of the band still remain. Downing was, however, part of one of the earliest incarnations of the band, the first to record an album with the band, and he appeared on every Judas Priest

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. Years after the best times for nu-metal are long behind us, it seems people just can’t get enough of the bands that were dominating teenagers’ lockers and Walkmans in the late 90s/early 2000s. Slipknot’s donning the old 1999 red jumpsuits on a 25th anniversary tour, Korn’s still a

We all may be gearing up for a weekend of barbecues and hangout seshes, but for a few of us here at the MetalSucks compound, we’re still stuck back at last weekend’s Milwaukee Metalfest. Can you blame us?! So many kick ass bands, so many drinks consumed, so many fun conversations with fans… It was

Picking up where they left off four years ago, EvilDead are primed to release new album Toxic Grace tomorrow, so Decibel caught up with guitarist Juan “Juan of the Dead” Garcia to talk

Photo by Shimon Karmel The kinship between power metal and nerd culture is undoubtedly a short, straight line. For a subgenre lyrically rooted in a love of high fantasy and science fiction, it should come as no surprise to anyone that its devotees would be attracted to the fantastical worlds of movies, comic books, tabletop

Formed in 2015, death dealers Moral Putreaction have been grinding it out across the Indian and international music scenes for nearly a decade now. Releasing their first (and only) demo, Scum of the Earth, in 2019, Moral Putrefaction locally supported bands like Suffocation, Psycroptic and Immolation before going on to perform at Wacken in 2022. Those years of

Where they from?Dallas, TX. Last Thursday the New York Rangers advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals and for the first time in my adult life it dawned on me that one of my favorite sports teams has a very realistic chance of winning a championship. This is an incredibly foreign feeling for me and, to

The war of words between legendary drummer Carmine Appice and Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx may have cooled off in recent months, but a previous challenge to a ‘jam-off’ to see who was really “washed up” has largely been left unanswered. And Appice hasn’t forgotten that fact. During an interview with The Logan Show (as

Danish death metal entity Morbid Grave formed in 2021, the brainchild of prolific musician Michael Huhle. Playing a primitive style of death metal concerned mostly with death, slime and bodily fluids, they released debut EP Pandemic Mutations in 2021. After launching those six songs into the world, Huhle began working on The Slime Crawlers, Morbid Grave’s debut album, which was

German thrash metal heroes Kreator recently revealed that, if you’re waiting for the follow up to their 2022 album Hate Über Alles, you shouldn’t hold your breath because it’s going to be a while. Back in December, frontman Millie Petrozza revealed in an Instagram post that the band would be focused on touring for 2024
