We’ve partnered with f.y.e. to make sure you don’t miss any of the essential extremely extreme, as picked by our staff of relentless metal maniacs.

Burn everything to the ground. 

We had the chance to interview Mr. Owen for an article in Issue #136 (Feb 2016, Abbath cover), but we had to cut down our man’s responses to fit in the space available.  Now you can read the entire interview, and hearing Owen’s freakish tunes is now only a click away.

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.
