Getting your show shutdown by the cops should be considered a badge of honor if you’re any sort of rock band. Getting your show shutdown by the Department of Buildings for some bureaucratic red tape is, admittedly, much less badass. But that’s exactly what happened to crossover thrash juggernaut Mindforce at a show on Friday

Guitarist Wacław “Vogg” Kiełtyka announced recently that he’s no longer a member of legendary groove metal band Machine Head. Vogg said that his focus, first and foremost, is on his other band Decapitated. Besides, it’s more fun to call yourself a “Decapitated guitarist” because it sounds like you’re playing guitar without a head. Which, now

California-based political activist rapcore group Fever 333 released a new single called “Ready Rock.” “Ready Rock” is certainly also something that Dwayne Johnson says to himself in the bathroom mirror every morning. The new single is the first taste of Fever 333’s upcoming and yet-to-be-titled second studio album due out later this year from 333Wreckcords

New Jersey metalcore band Fracture went viral after playing a show at a New Jersey Devils game on Thursday night. As if hockey wasn’t violent enough, someone had to go and add metalcore. Video of the show ended up in a few places on social media, most notably being shared on Twitter by popular sports

Surprise! We’ve got 200 copies—the most limited variant—of the deluxe LP reissue of legendary metallic hardcore crew Deadguy’s landmark sole full length, Fixation on a Coworker, on Atom-smashed Orange with Black Splatter! No pre-orders because it’s available right now! Out of print on vinyl for over a decade, Deadguy scoured the galaxy in search of Fixation’s original recording only to

Greetings, Decibel readers! Have you gotten your tickets yet for the Decibel Magazine Tour? If you haven’t, just know you’ll be missing the finest display of the burning darkness on offer, with performances from Hulder, Devil Master, Worm, and Necrofier. Consistent readers of this column will know how much I appreciate Hulder, so there’s no mystery there. And with that amazing

The guys in Nickelback have had both sides of the rock stardom coin. On one hand, they sell out stadiums and sell tons of albums to their legion of adoring fans around the world. On the other, however, they’ve been the butt of every dad rock butt rock joke almost since they burst onto the

Gore Machine is preparing to drop the debut album, Macerated & Liquified, out February 23 via Horror Pain Gore Death, and you can preview it here with us. The goregrind solo project is headed up by Druesome (guitars extinction protocol), who performs all instruments, vocals and sampling. This record is a concept album that focuses on

Sometimes it’s nice to think about labels gone by. Back in their day (1996-2010), Ferret Music were tastemakers in the metalcore and hardcore scenes, occasionally reaching beyond that. Though it’s been nearly 30 years since some of the label’s first releases, many are still relevant today. Here are five times Ferret Music got it right.

Pirate metal outfit Alestorm have released “Voyage of the Dead Marauder” ahead of their EP of the same name which will drop March 22 via Napalm Records. Vocalist Chris Bowes says about the new music: “Ever since I was a little girl I dreamed of being in one of those female fronted symphonic metal bands

Damnations Domain are back on the stage, and that’s noteworthy because they feature members of Year of the Knife, who got in a horrific car accident last year. The Delaware death metal band played in Philadelphia on February 10 with Dead Upon Arrival, 10 Sluggz, Problem Solver, Hamtoid, Splattered Spine, and Execute. From footage and

For over two decades, Tankcrimes has been one of the underground metal and punk scene’s most consistent labels, putting out records from established bands like Municipal Waste and Fucked Up (plus long defunct powerviolence staples like Spazz and Dystopia) as well as still-growing artists like Dead Heat, Necrot and Brainoil. The Tankcrimes family will be reunited this

Where they from? Oakland by way of Indonesia. The Super Bowl was this past weekend. I put $50 on Kansas City, took the over and I lost by ONE GOD DAMN POINT! There is no greater sign that god hates you then losing a parlay by a single point. Everything is rigged, everything is canceled.

Denver is a hotbed for metal right now—ask us how we know!—and its next export is Our Grief is Thus, the second album from Pagan folk/death metal outfit Oak, Ash & Thorn. As you’ll hear on the song “Auras,” video streaming below, the quartet deal in a very melodic style of death metal, using sung vocals, bright

New York City is definitely known for being overrun by rats, and you can add Brooklyn psych doom cult Castle Rat to the infestation. This retro-sounding quartet—Riley Pinkerton (vocals/guitar/”Rat Queen”), Franco Vittore (lead guitar/”Count”), Ronnie Lanzilotta III (bass/”Plague Doctor”), Josh Strmic (drums/”The All-Seeing Druid”)—have conjured a brand new video for the slow-building, doomy track, “Cry For

Given that he’s put out three EPs since 2020 (Telemark, Pharos, and Fascination Street Sessions) it’d be unfair to think that Ihsahn’s solo career has lain dormant. That said, it’s been nearly six whole years since the Emperor frontman’s last LP—2018’s Ámr—so his return to full-length creations has been highly anticipated (to say the least).

Well, that didn’t take long. I know we reported earlier today about the fact that Kittie might be teasing their next album pretty soon, but it turns out “pretty soon” was less than 12 hours away. Just moments ago, Jose Mangin of Sirius XM’s Liquid Metal announced that the Canadian foursome would be debuting their

Nu-metal collided with evil disco in New Jersey over the weekend, as the third leg of Static-X‘s ‘Machine Killer Tour’ hit the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville. Along with co-headliners Sevendust, they ruled the stage after openers Dope and Lines of Loyalty got things warmed up. There’s still a few more days left in this current
