Swedish post-metal collective Novarupta, headed by Alex Stjernfeldt, returns with a new single, “The Bullet Shines Before Impact,” from its final album, Astral Sands.

The prolific drummer and self-described “hardcore casual gamer” overcomes, overthrows his need for competitive online gaming.

Sweden’s Disrupted is set to release its third full-length album, Stinking Death, on January 24 but you don’t have to wait that long because we’ve got the whole thing today!

Decibel — and the entire metal and hardcore community — mourns the passing of underground show promoter and accomplished artist Rich Hall (1000 Knives).

The Ghost Next Door get groovy.

Get whipped by the hardcore approach to grind of Seattle’s Smearing.

Hear the mournful new elegy from New Orleans experimental doomgazers, Guts Club, “Remember the Mountains.”

Listen to “Exceed in2 Chaos,” the title track from the new album from long-running Norwegian black metal outfit Sarkom.

This week’s new releases include the latest in heavy madness from Necrodeath, Onirophagus, Häxkapell and more!
