Brooklyn noisecore trio replace their instruments with being hilarious. 

Our own Richard Christy looks toward a third consecutive AL pennant for his beloved Royals.

Yes, that’s a music video of the title track of an album with the same name as a full-length film rendition of a novel. And Hideous Divinity‘s is no less complex in practice, so go ahead and press play for some brain food (/and bludgeoning).

Mortiis reveals part one of a three-part short film.

A Gojira-like sledgehammer for your skull. That’s what Fridays call for, right?

Finnish black metallers True Black Dawn have preached the good and blasphemous word since 1992. Check out the premiere for the title track on Come the Colorless Dawn, the band’s second full-length, and first album in 15 years.

It’s been over two years since Creepsylvania miscreants Ghoul have released any new material. Though Decibel enjoyed the beach/surf-themed Hang 10 EP, if you’re like us, we’re guessing you’ve been eager to hear Digestor and Cremator get back to dealing the death/thrash that’s responsible for the majority of Romania’s GDP.  Thanks to Decibel, now you…

dB Rating: 8/10

With the song “Hover” the Brooklyn couple show that they’re louder than love. 

Equal parts bluesy sludge and trudging grind, Musket Hawk bring the slow despondency necessary on the most hungover of afternoons. 

Tune in. Fuzz out. Rock out. Free yourself from the tedium (of boring music). 

Head to the tombs to get, uh, this premiere streaming. 

You might wanna double-check the price on that Purple Rain deluxe reissue.  

A sneak peek heads-up for the upcoming full-length of hypnotic, unhinging blackened doom from Head of the Demon. 

Virus doesn’t have any circus music or kazoos, just brooding, skin-crawling metal/rock from ex-members of Ved Buens Ende and other similarly weird entities. 

To celebrate the 5th anniversary of Saint Vitus Bar, as well as the release date of Primitive Weapons’ new album The Future of Death, David Castillo looks back at some of the club’s best shows so far.

Coffin Dust‘s Facebook Page info lists the genre as “Depraved Cemetery Metal” and includes a a short description of “Crush the skull, snort the dust.” We think that’s about all that needs to be said here.

** Italian symphonic death metallers Fleshgod Apocalypse have taken things to a whole new level on new album, King. Musically, the Italians are more intense, more bombastic, more sophisticated. Song to song, King ravages the tenets of symphonic death metal, establishing a new hierarchy of awesome. Artistically, King has one of the best album covers of the decade. It looks positively old, but Eliran Kantor’s work is undoubtedly modern (and killer). Decibel was summoned to Tommaso Riccardi’s throne room to talk King.

Triangle by the numbers: 100+ minutes, third album, three parts, two visual artists, one video premiere. 

We’ve got an exclusive new clip, and the inside story, behind the upcoming documentary on that one death metal band. Yeah, that one. 

“Forces of Death,” from upcoming Scream Bloody Gore/demos-inspired Dimensions of Horror, is the Deathly metal you need in your day. Immediately.

Fire Work With Me collects graphic artist extraordinaire Valnoir’s most beguiling, uncompromising pieces from his storied fifteen year run at his Paris-based Metastazis studio in one lush 276 page full-color volume which former Morbid Angel frontman David Vincent calls “insightful and inciting” and Watain head priest Erik Danielsson promises will be “relevant to all who crave the sublimity of the extremes.”

End your week with some Irish/Native American/psychedelic/Krautrock folk metal. Come on, if Friday isn’t for flutes, what day is?

On this week’s Demo:listen, we sink down through pitchy leagues of creosote and dredge ourselves back up by the bootstraps to bring unto you the sounds of Germany’s Morast.

Stream their second full-length, Stella Porta, for an “escape and outlet from real life” that’s crushing, hazy, hallucinatory, and caustic, all at the same time.  

The legendary producer discusses his work with bands like Swans, Helmet and Unsane. 

Which is what you do if you’re a metalhead all-star closer.

Get the inside information on the upcoming Moonsorrow documentary. 

On this week’s Demo:listen we genuflect in primordial fear at the foot of the true occult doom of Virginia’s The Ritualist.

A picturesque New Hampshire town is on the verge of honoring its most famous fallen heavy metal son — and you can help!
