To celebrate the release of Cattle Decapitation‘s new collection, Medium Rarities, we caught up with vocalist Travis Ryan to find out what five heavy albums changed his life.

American underground death metal supergroup Cast The Stone meld different schools of Swedish death metal to form new EP, Empyrean Atrophy.

Hideous Divinity are “Feeding Off the Blind.” Watch now!

There’s nothing cooler than a logo, a mark, an emblem. From extreme music’s inception, artists–thrash metal, grindcore, death metal, doom metal, black metal, etc.–have placed a heavy weight on their logos. Some are immediately recognizable (like Metallica, Death, Morbid Angel, Napalm Death, Cathedral), some aren’t so cleverly designed. Over the years, Decibel has top-listed logos for our most favorite of extremely extreme genres. Today, we dissect and pontificate on the Top 5 Grindcore Logos. Music isn’t considered as part of the findings, as that would unfairly settle the list. So, find out who tops our list. And argue about it.

Philip H Anselmo returns with black metal supergroup Scour. 

Seventeen years after they foretold The Shape of Punk to Come, Refused have delivered just that in the form of Freedom. The Swedish post-hardcore legends are back with a vengeance, and Decibel has the inside story on their unlikely reformation.

 Today we bring you not only a stream of this bad boy, but some helpful exposition courtesy of frontman Travis Ryan.

One of Cannibal Corpse’s more infamous albums is Eaten Back to Life. The theme of Cattle Decapitation‘s Flexi Series debut, “Cannibalistic Invasivorism,” might as well be “eaten back to death.”

The Decibel Flexi Series offers the first taste of new Cattle Decap deathgrind in the form of “Cannibalistic Invasivorism.”
