Tom Gabriel Fischer helped build the foundations of extreme metal in the early ’80s and has never stopped creating or innovating. Fischer’s canonical metal works are well-known: the Hall of Fame-certified Celtic Frost masterpieces Morbid Tales and To Mega Therion and Hellhammer’s Apocalyptic Raids (Frost’s Into the Pandemonium would also be there were it not

You got five minutes? What about four and a half? That’s all you need to enjoy Bleach Everything‘s All Alone in Dirt, the new EP from Richmond, Virginia’s favored sludgy hardcore punk(-ish) band. Like we said, the EP is four-and-half minutes long and contains four songs; within those limitations, Bleach Everything manage to cover a pretty damn

Metal fans have used many superlatives to praise Mercyful Fate’s Hall of Fame-certified debut, Melissa. Still, few have discussed how different the album was from everything else at the time. In the early ’80s, shorter, faster, and louder was the rule. Venom’s Welcome To Hell was a caustic punk album about Satan. Hellhammer embraced barbaric

This past week saw some crazy news and killer new releases hit the intertubes. From Dream Theater regaining a founding member to The Obsessed dropping a cool new single, a buncha shit went down. As such, we’re taking the time this week to update our Top Tracks of the Week playlist with some of the

Your weekend just got brutal. Death metal masterminds Maul just shared a new song, “The Sacred And The Profane,” which you can stream below. The track is from the band’s 20 Buck Spin debut EP, Desecration And Enchantment, out November 17. This is their debut single from the release, and it is skin-peelingly heavy. If

Tool have been hinting at new music lately, but don’t ask Maynard James Keenan about it. He’s not in the mood to talk. The band haven’t put out music since Fear Inoculum in 2019, so folks have been asking what’s next. In a recent interview with Loudwire, Keenan was asked about the rumors that they would

None of us should be any stranger to how aggressive things can get at a hardcore show. But what happens when security gets too aggressive back? Apparently that very issue happened at a We Came As Romans show during Bodysnatcher‘s set. The show took place on October 22 at Fête Music Hall in Providence, RI.

While they likely haven’t played a show on the floor with no stage show and pit crew in quite some time, Blink-182 attempted to have an ironic, down to earth connection with fans at a Denny’s in Long Beach. The show happened on October 26. Of course, it was undisclosed, but it was very vaguely

Though Hollywood’s done its best to make it seem like the “Wild West” was all gold prospectors and bandits, cowboys and Injuns, and the rolling plains, the spirit of the American frontier was darker and deeper than that. It’s the lives men lost laying the very tracks that connected the coasts. It’s the indigenous people

Go Ahead And Die, featuring the beloved Max Cavalera, will be joining Bodybox on a tour startig early 2024 and traveling across the U.S. Go Ahead And Die are a crusty death metal band from Arizona, and this will be their first U.S. tour. Called the Unhealthy Mechanisms Tour 2024, the show spans 55 dates,

Sure hope you didn’t want to get in on some of that sweet, sweet Korn 90s and early 2000s nostalgia in the form of really expensive sportswear, because that ship has sailed. As in everything that was part of the Korn/Adidas collaboration predictably sold out insanely fast. News of the collaboration and the limited run

Rammstein may be gearing up for a huge European stadium tour in a few months, but that ain’t stopping controversial vocalist Till Lindemann from going solo for a bit. With a new album Zunge slated for release on November 3, the embattled frontman released a new single that’s seemingly all about sports — though it’s

Greetings, Decibel readers! Peak spooky season has arrived! If you’re looking for a solidly creepy and cheesy horror flick, I highly suggest 1988’s Night of the Demons. It has Bauhaus on the soundtrack! It has Lennea Quigley in the cast! It has really good costume and make-up design! Trust me, you’ll be jealous you weren’t invited to the party, just

We’d like to take a moment to announce that after a 168 hours apart, we’ve decided to welcome the weekend back into the fold. We’re thankful for the contributions that the weekdays have given us, but it just feels right to have the weekend back after being apart for what feels like forever. Autopsy Ashes,

Vicious Colorado-based quintet Mouth for War unleashes brutal therapy on their new album Bleed Yourself, available on October 27th through MNRK Heavy. The combined forces of Trae Roberts [vocals], Mason Sego [drums], Gabe Moya [guitar], Jonah Starbuck [guitar], and Michael Guglielmi [bass]—rally listeners together around unflinchingly honest and uncontainable bursts of aggression and emotion. Decibel

Portland deathgrind practitioners Rank and Vile will unleash their punishing second full-length, Worship, on November 17th via Modern Grievance Records. After a four-year term since their debut album Redistribution of Flesh, the band elected to seek the recording council of Hallowed Halls (Poison Idea, Pallbearer) and Leon del Muerte of Beastman Audio (ex-Nails, Terrorizer AD) to

Photo by Caleb Bryant Miller Brooklyn instrumental avant-prog trio Bassoon ably demonstrate that you don’t need a big budget to make an entertaining video. There’s nothing here that one would describe as “high art” or “pro shot,” but as far as videos of three nerdy dudes—Stuart Popejoy (bass/keys), Sean Moran (guitar), John Mettam (drums)—playing in an

We are counting the days until we witness the 2023 return of The Red Chord as part of this year’s Decibel Magazine Metal & Beer Fest: Denver in December at the Summit! And to raise the anticipation level even higher, we’ve released a live rendition of their classic “Dreaming in Dog Years,” recorded at the 2022 Philly

With their next streaming event slated for tomorrow at 12 noon PST/3 p.m. EST, Puscifer dropped a special sneak peek of the festivities with their performance of “Grey Area” over on PusciferTV.com. Touted as the band’s “third Halloween offering,” tomorrow’s event dubbed Global Probing was filmed at the Yavapai College Performing Arts Center in Prescott,
