A statement from the band’s PR explains: “Phase Four conceptualized science gone wrong by using it for power over humanity and questioning if this is the ‘end of days.’ The song moves to eventually considering whether

Today we kick off the work week on Labor Day in the USA. Although I moved away from NYC a few years ago, I spent my last Labor Day in the city getting day-drunk at Duff’s in Brooklyn. There are tributes to Peter Steele of Type O Negative all over the bar. He was a

Blood Incantation are back with a new EP, Luminescent Bridge, out September 13 via Century Media. The EP hasn’t been formally announced, but the pre-order is now available via the Century Media website. It will feature a brutal death metal track called “Obliquity Of The Ecliptic” on Side A and an ambient song, “Luminescent Bridge,”

Metallica just had to postpone their September 3 show at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, AZ because James Hetfield just got COVID. NIGHT TWO IN GLENDALE IS RESCHEDULED TO SEPTEMBER 9! We’re very sorry to report that tomorrow’s scheduled M72 date at State Farm Stadium has been postponed to Saturday, September 9, 2023, as, unfortunately,

New York grinders Gravesend just shared a new song, “Even A Worm Will Turn,” from their forthcoming record Gowanus Death Stomp, due out October 27 via 20 Buck Spin. The record was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Arthur Rizk, and the cover photo is by Mark Weber. Preorder the album here.  As their press release

We thought we had heard the last of the music from GWAR featuring original, late vocalist Oderus Urungus, but we thought wrong. GWAR are now streaming their 10th anniversary remix of Battle Maximus featuring the song “Tammy, The Swine Queen,” which is their final song with the iconic singer. The reissue album is also a

Be sure to thank a worker for your long ass weekend, as Labor Day really exists because of the struggles ordinary people went through to make our work lives just a little less hellacious. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still rough out there these days, but at least kids don’t have to work and hours

Classic thrashers Sadus are back this fall with their first record in 16 years, The Shadow Inside, which will be released November 17 via Nuclear Blast Records. The East Bay-based band originally got back together in 2017 and have been working on their new record over the past several years—presumably with some delays thanks to

A special fan made headlines at Metallica‘s August 25 show in Los Angeles, California. Storm, presumably a metal-loving dog, snuck out of her home and into the show. For the animal lovers among us, don’t worry—Storm was safely reunited with her family after the show, but not before sitting through the concert. The next time

Latino metalers Ill Nino were added to a short run of shows alongside Megadeth and Biohazard for Megadeth’s The Sick, the Dying.. and the Dead! tour. After that, Ill Nino will join Cradle of Filth and Devil Driver on the next leg of their co-headlining tour. About the short run, Ill Nino say: “Just Announced!

It doesn’t matter if you’re a dyed in the wool metalhead or a crusty punk, when we’re all screaming from the rooftops against the ills of conformity and willing to fuck some shit up in the process, it’s all the same. As everything seems to be going to shit around us and the moneyed powers

A scary situation in Glasgow nearly resulted in some serious bodily harm to Obituary‘s merch guy, as he just narrowly avoided being hit by a car as it crashed into the band’s tour bus last night during their show. The band is currently on its U.K, and Ireland tour, which will run until September 11

Listen, we’re all adults here, right? We all know what the internet’s really for. So when I say a certain adult site that people use to stream live adult content to adults using the internet offered Queen‘s Brian May and Roger Taylor a nice sum of money for the rights to stream a song about

Things may be different in Fear Factory now that they’ve found their new full-time vocalist in Milo Silvestro, but that doesn’t necessarily mean things between the band and their former vocalist Burton C. Bell is now water under the bridge. During a recent interview with Brutal Planet Magazine (transcribed by Blabbermouth), guitarist Dino Cazares dropped

I’m sorry, we don’t want to beLABOR this. Every single available back issue of Decibel is only $4 from now until Monday at 11:59 PM ET. From the oldest of the old-school (backwards “e” and all) to our latest issue featuring old-school death metal legends Incantation you can fill up your Decibel back catalog at a huge

I don’t know about you, but I’m still reeling from the story earlier this week regarding Dying Wish vocalist Emma Boster and the glass shower door that was clearly out to get her. So when I saw in my inbox that they’d released a new single titled “Lost In The Fall,” it instantly got me

Why the track/video twofer premiere of “Annihilated Prestige,” you ask? Well, because NYC grindcore outfit Manipulator have made a video for every track on their upcoming second full-length, Drawing Secret Circles. Ergo, if we’re gonna do a track premiere, might as well peep the accompanying video, no? The ugly, twisted and distorted black and white visuals accompanying

Mother of Graves will perform as part of Decibel Magazine Metal & Beer Fest: Denver on December 2, 2023 at the Summit, along with Agalloch, Khemmis, Midnight, The Red Chord, Cephalic Carnage, Primitive Man and many more.

Decibel is pleased to present the new music video for Besta‘s song “Olhar Serafico,” from the band’s new album Terra Em Desapego, out now via Lifeforce Records. The video shows a montage of conflict, disorder and ideology, contrasted by the thrash and burn riffs and growls of the music, which is very reminiscent of Chaos A.D-era Sepultura

Photos by Tegan Hoffman and Ricky Alvarado No two letters of the alphabet elicit as much wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth in the creative fields lately quite like “A.I.” For better or worse (likely both), humanity has become reliant on processes that implement machine learning and automation for the sake of our comfort
