Originally beginning life in Sheffield, England, doom/sludge/death power trio Kurokuma now call the world their home.

Greetings, Decibel listeners! I’m beyond stoked about the new releases from Calderum and Oxygen Destroyer, two of my favorite metal bands operating today. But if you don’t care what I think and just want to hear some death metal, the other three albums on today’s list will make for excellent listening as well. Cheers! — Calderum – Desecration of

“Let’s crack a pack, shall we?” While the surgeon general has long warned the public about the dangers of smoking to your health, it’s still perfectly fine to open up a pack of trading cards in search of a different high (for now). But these aren’t just trading cards being opened on camera—this is an

This might be a controversial opinion around these here parts, but “deathcore” isn’t inherently a dirty word. Sure, you’ve come to associate the genre with late-career Suicide Silence and Slaughter to Prevail but it doesn’t have to be that way. Enter Milan, Italy’s Gravery, a new band formed by Fulci’s Edoardo “Edo” Nicoloso; their new album Everything

For metal bands of all stripes, a central theme or concept can be a major drag on artistic potential — but when applied correctly, it can be an asset with unlimited creative returns. In the case of Oxygen Destroyer, the band’s muse of monsters and otherworldly cataclysms has gifted the world with two incredible albums

You might not be familiar with Los Angeles doom crew QAALM just yet—more on that below—but we’re betting you know the song “Heaven and Hell” by a band called Black Sabbath.

If you’re a goregrind (or noise, or power electronics, or powerviolence, or death metal) freak, Barely Breathing III is the festival to be at later this month, August 17 and 18. Going down once again at Mr. Beery’s in Bethpage (Long Island), New York, Barely Breathing is headlined by Canadian gore stalwarts Archagathus and Texas grinders Nyctophagia,

East Coast death metal OGs Deteriorot have been slugging it out in the underground for more than three decades, forming in 1990 and selectively-but-consistently putting out new releases since 1992. Their latest album comes in the form of The Rebirth, released last year. To continue spreading their songs, Deteriorot are releasing a series of music videos from the
