Delve into the chaos of the cosmos with “Limitless,” the new single release from the US and Mexico based melodic death metal band FALSIMONIAN. The quartet’s dynamic heavy sound is influenced by Mexican folk and Latin-American roots music, as well as progressive elements and jazz. FALSIMONIAN‘s forthcoming EP For Survival is set to arrive independently on November 7, 2026.
Drawing inspiration from concepts such as autotheism, the big bang, and relativity, the band takes a more abstract approach with their lyrics in “Limitless”. The track’s narrative is positioned from the perspective of a celestial being, leaning into the cosmic horror realm, which is a personified form of the universe.
A chaotic mood emerges from “Limitless” which begins with an onslaught of sharp and aggressive rhythmic stabs. The violent intensity creates a sense of disturbance and discomfort. Stylistically, “Limitless” is rooted in melodic death metal though progressive sections and groove passages are incorporated across the track. This song also features the first guitar solo heard by Cesar Robles on the upcoming EP in a display that is initially melodic before developing into intricate, technical shredding.
Presented through the lens of a fictional, dystopian world, the EP considers the everyday impact onto individuals who are living under the threat and fear of a world-ending catastrophe. “Limitless” is a key moment for the narrative’s protagonist in which, through a moment of introspection, they decide to take action against the imposing darkness.
For Survival was produced by Jesus Fuentes Valverde, with mixing and mastering by Gil Andrade. Drums engineering was undertaken by Ruben Sanchez at Urvn Studios, with guitars and keyboards recorded by Jesus Fuentes Valverde and vocals recorded by Erick Valverde. Guitar and vocal editing, and bass programming, was by Jesus Fuentes Valverde. Additional guitars on “Limitless”, “Judgment” and “For Survival” were recorded and edited by Cesar Robles.

The Tubs, your jangly, folky British post-punk favorites, announced their signing to Merge Records this past spring by successfully translating Metallica’s classic heavy metal ballad “Fade To Black” into their own signature style. The news came barely a year after Cotton Crown, yet it portended a new album announcement sooner rather than later. Today it has come: Tubs LP3 Hard Life will be out on the never-forgettable date of 9/11.

Massachusetts post-hardcore lifers There Were Wires have never been a band interested in repeating themselves, and they seem even less inclined to do so now. More than 20 years removed from the cult status of Somnambulists and their influential run through New England’s chaotic hardcore underground, after a long period of inactivity, the reunited veterans return with Vessel, their first new full-length since 2003. Rather than chasing nostalgia, the album finds the band expanding on the atmospheric weight, crushing heaviness and emotional depth that made their earlier material resonate long after their initial run ended.
Written and recorded over a period of almost two years by the band themselves, Vessel balances caustic post-hardcore intensity and noise rock sharpness with moments of reflection and restraint. The result is a record that feels shaped by the passage of time, informed by loss, grief, friendship and persistence, but delivered with the same urgency that made There Were Wires such a formidable force in the first place.
Today, Decibel is proud to present the full-stream premiere of Vessel ahead of its June 26 release via Iodine Recordings.
“I did not think Vessel would ever see the light of day,” singer Jaime Mason told us. “A 20-year absence from any and all activity, a greying spread across time zones, and the inexhaustible amount of obstacles set in the pathway of this record kept me in constant doubt. There Were Wires was a band formed in some other lifetime – almost in another universe from where we are now. I’m adjusting my reading glasses as I type this, nestled into my big grey couch with my dog Henry resting on my knee. I’m 3,000 miles away from the rest of my bandmates, watching a nearly finished video of ourselves performing “The Carousel of Sickening Bliss”. It’s visceral, angry, and visually beautiful for such an aggressive song. The video and entire record will be released later this week, delivered to the ether of the internet for scrutiny, applause, or indifference. I have feelings about it. Feelings on top of feelings on top of feelings, that’s what this record is drowning in.”
He continues, showing the undeniable emotional charge behind this record: “We all have lived a lot of life as the years evaporated before our eyes, and the discomfort of having to try so hard to regain the pieces of what we have lost was overwhelming at times. I’m not the same kid I used to be, and I don’t think anyone else is, either. Working on this piece of music with my friends — some of the most brilliant, stubborn, hilarious, and confounding people I’ve ever known – was not just a series of over-practiced riffs and fine-tuning choruses. Vessel was created in the face of laughter and despair. It bloomed through trust and loss. It was terrible and amazing at every turn — incomprehensibly frustrating and sometimes downright infuriating. Despite it all, I’m grateful for the chance to be a part of something that was so hard fought. It’s time to free this vessel we hold dear into the current of algorithms – it’s no longer ours now.”
