Two legendary bands from opposite ends of the extreme music spectrum make November’s Decibel a must-read: Iron Maiden gallops onto their fourth dB cover, and Napalm Death grinds out their second Hall of Fame.  

I’m going to go on the record and say that we’re going to see some compelling football out of the AFC East this year.

Third album, 30 musicians. That’s baller.

Your friends at Decibel have long revered Nunslaughter, not just for their dedication to underground metal but for their sheer persistence.

Hit the noise-rock trough for some delicious distorted groove.

Portu-goth institution Moonspell take the unpretentious approach to their video for “Domina.” 

Deafheaven have been living in rarefied air for the past few years—a metal band doing metal things in a non-metal world. With the release of their third LP, New Bermuda, a mere two weeks away, we caught up with vocalist/lyricist George Clarke to break down the details of Deafheaven’s unlikely crossover appeal.

Denver death metal newbies Bloodstrike are set to drop their debut full-length, In Death We Rot on Redefining Darkness on September 25, and they’re coming out of the gate hard with the “Abomination” video.

The Wisconsin death metallers make their Flexi Series debut with “Speed Freak,” a cover of the 1988 Hallows Eve classic. 

We still have eyes for German death metal mainstays Dew-Scented, and they have I’s for us. And new videos. And new split EPs.
