See You Next Tuesday just dropped a new video for their song “The Other Side” to give us a taste of their forthcoming music.

Greetings, Decibel readers! We’ve got a very death-metal entry for you today, my personal favorite being the demo from Atavistic Decay, newcomers from Indianapolis that have great things in store for them if they keep this up. Enjoy! — Atavistic Decay – Demo MMXXI Death metal, at its best, is dark, dirty and terrifying. And

Before we begin, I have to start off by saying I was never the biggest fan of crossover thrash to begin with. It can be fun, and I appreciate the attitude and the blue-collar mentality which makes it so relatable, but just like some people don’t like eating Brussels sprouts or oysters or whatever, I

Last year, we fucking gushed over T-Pain‘s rendition of the classic Black Sabbath tune “War Pigs.” It had live. It had charisma. Damn it, his version of the song just made you want to get up and dance. It was awesome. Well, it turns out that the Prince of Darkness himself finally heard that version

As a general rule, we tend to avoid bands that include “max,” “boogie” or “overdrive” in their names. It somehow evokes ’70s disco which doesn’t really fit with the whole extreme metal vibe we’re going for. That said, there are no shortage of great bands with truly bad monikers (hello, Weekend Nachos, Job For a

Hailing from Dublin, The Risen Dread are six years into their existence with an EP and full-length under their spiffy stage clothes and available for public consumption. Drawing influence from death metal and metalcore, the band have scattered the scenes at home in Ireland and the UK as well as parts of Europe with promise

The storied history of Nuclear Blast Records is built with the names of some of the biggest and best bands in metal history. And earlier today, they added a newer act to their roster with the signing of Gates To Hell. Known for their fusion of heavy hardcore and metal, the Louisville-based band joins the

The first time I met Bryce Seditz was in Decibel Magazine‘s hometown of Philly. Touring with his band Plaguewielder, he brought foam-mouthed fury to the mic playing a show headlined by local vampire punks Cave Ov Bats. Today I share the relentless new album from Give Me the Grave, a new project from Seditz, guitarist/bassist

Portland, OR outfit Lord Dying will release one of the year’s first great records next week, their fourth album, Clandestine Transcendence. Loaded to the gills with sharp, heavy riffs and a sense of melancholy, Clandestine Transcendence picks up where last album Mysterium Tremendum left off, both thematically and musically. “The Universe if Weeping,” the video Decibel is premiering today,

It’s not ever day that a drummer busts out a side project, so when they do, we should definitely take notice. And you’ll want to check out the solo project of Kai Johnny Mosaker, professionally known as Trym Torson for Emperor. “New year, new opportunities. I have been a big movie fan my whole life,

The career trajectory for Deftones was almost very different, as the band reportedly considered changing their iconic name for a contract with Roadrunner Records. Monte Conner, who worked with Roadrunner at the time, said the band was offered a contract if they were willing to change their name. He claims the owner of the label

We love metal from unexpected places. Melodic thrash/death quartet Karnak Seti hail from Madeira Island, which unless you’re an avid oeniphile, probably means nothing to you. Madeira is “an autonomous region of Portugal,” but it’s actually located off the west coast of Africa. Its prime export is a type of fortified wine called Madeira, which

Where they from?Huntington Beach, CA. It is a new year, what is your resolution? Mine is to gain weight, stress more and allow toxic people in my life. How will I achieve this? Simple: Keep rooting for the New York Jets. Really addresses all three areas if you think about it. Why the hype?WEST COAST

Earlier today, Franch tech death metal outfit Exocrine released a music video for their latest single “Eidolon,” which you can check out below. It’s heavy, it’s brutal, it’s part of their upcoming album Legend. But watch the video below and then watch the video for Dio‘s classic tune “Holy Diver.” Tell me they’re not similar…

Austrian musician Erech Leleth has constructed quite an empire in a relatively short amount of time. The prolific musician builds interconnected worlds with his many projects, the likes of Ancient Mastery, Bergfried, Summer Haze ’99, Carathis, Grandeur and more. All operating somewhere between black and heavy metal, Erech Leleth’s guitar heroics and catchy songwriting are

Nearly two decades after first appearing in the pages of Decibel, scuzzy, infectious black ‘n’ roll debasers Persekutor plough their way into the Decibel Flexi Series! “Eternal Snowstorm of the Frozen Eye” is a previously unreleased brain-freezer that is absolutely vital to anyone with a respectable Bulldozer vinyl collection. Persekutor frontman Vlad “the Ihaler” Bârladean
