You know, it’s awesome that we get to live in a world where we’ve got all the sick up-and-coming bands out there but can still fall back and witness the legends to their thing.

Some people argue with me that Jaws isn’t a horror movie. But I invite you to think of another movie that generated that much fear. As a kid, I was so scared of Jaws I was afraid of swimming in lakes, or being in my own bathtub. Raleigh, NC’s Into the Deep understands the terror

A special celebration took place the other night in Van Nuys, California that marked yet another year, as revelers hung out, sang songs, and all the while partied throughout the night.

If there’s anything shitty metal gatekeepers love more than anything, it’s being the first person in a comment thread to tell you how much they hate Ghost and don’t think their music is metal enough. We’ve seen it all before and we’ll likely see a ton of it on this post. But that’s neither here

It didn’t take long for 2024 to pop off with some domestic abuse allegations and the ensuing backlash, did it?

New year, new me? Nah, I still love death metal and God, which is convenient because Decibel has an exclusive stream of the new Cancer Christ album God is Violence to blast away your hangover. A tongue-in-cheek band with a live show that emphasizes spectacle as much as death metal, Cancer Christ quickly carved out a name for themselves in the

Having already released my personal favorite album of 2023 via his work on Venomous Concept’s The Good Ship Lollipop, it’s only right for extreme music legend Shane Embury (Napalm Death, Brujeria, don’t make me type the rest) to put a bow on this year with a surprise release from his prolific Dark Sky Burial project. The dark
