Melrose Avenue have announced that they are going to be heading out on a truly extensive tour across the UK and Europe at the start of next year.

The band will be kicking off 2027 by spending over a month making their away from the continent, hitting up no less than 19 countries as they go. Pretty amazing, to be honest. They will also be joined by Arankai on all dates.

Vocalist Vlado Saric had this to say about the run, stating, “We knew this summer would be absolute madness – packed-out festivals, sweat, chaos, and some wild crowds. So we wanted to get back to those people asap and turn the heat up even more. Bigger stages, heavier songs and louder nights. We love the beautiful chaos of touring overseas and this run is going to get wild. See you in the pit.”

Hymns In Dissonance, WHITECHAPEL‘s most recent studio recording released last Spring via Metal Blade Records, finds the band reinventing themselves, going darker, deeper, and heavier than ever before. Revolver lauded “a blistering attack of ground-fissuring blasts, terror-thrashed guitar melodies and guts-hucking mosh sections.” Metal Injection concurred noting, “it’s heavy as shit, it’s unrelenting, and it will destroy you.” MetalSucks championed, “one of WHITECHAPEL’s heaviest offerings since the glory days of The Somatic Defilement and This Is Exile,” adding, “It captures that same raw energy and mouth-frothing rage in a way that… hasn’t been seen for quite some time, but with a new and improved modern twist borne of the nearly twenty years of experience they have accumulated since then,” while Blabbermouth hailed the band’s “…white-knuckle, weaponized deathcore with brains, brawn, and a point to prove. Hold on to your helmets.”

The record earned the #2 position on Billboard’s Current Hard Rock Albums chart, #3 on Independent Label Current Albums chart, #4 on the Current Rock Albums chart and #7 on the Digital Albums chart upon its first week of release.

Hymns In Dissonance is available now on CD, vinyl, and digital formats. For orders, visit: lnk.to/HymnsInDissonance. Find merch bundles and band exclusive vinyl at: whitechapelband.com

Hey look, it’s Chat Pile! Our fucking guys! The Oklahoma City noise-rock people’s champs have been working extremely hard since they came to national prominence mid-pandemic, averaging about an album a year. Last year, Chat Pile teamed up with Hayden Pedigo for In The Earth Again, a sonic departure that showed new sides of the band. Earlier this year, they dropped their anti-ICE song “Masks,” as well as a cover of Nirvana’s “Sifting,” on a Sub Pop single. Now, they’re getting ready to drop a new album of their own.

(Here’s a review by DGR of an album by the northern California crust band Arüspex, which was released in January by the band and later in the year on tape by Fiadh Productions.) Crust-punk group Arüspex have had one of the longer tenures on the “to review” list that we are slowly working our way […]

All of a sudden, the Cure once again have a ton going on. In 2024, the legendary band returned with Songs Of A Lost World, their first album in 16 years, and it fucking ruled. Even as that rollout was happening, Robert Smith was talking about plans for more Cure albums. Last weekend, the Cure headlined the Primavera Sound Festival, returning to the stage after a year-plus break with an amazing setlist full of classics and live rarities, and then they played more live rarities at Porto’s North Festival. Also, of course, there’s the Olivia Rodrigo connection. The towering pop star already had Cure references on her two most recent singles. At a surprise Primavera set, she and Robert Smith debuted their new duet “what’s wrong with me” and then had more nice things to say about each other. Now, Smith would like to describe the next two Cure albums.

In a world increasingly shaped by disposable content, Oklahoma City-based noisemakers Chat Pile answer with something defiantly real and organic, their third full-length record, Who Loves the Sun. And Decibel is proud to offer our own exclusive edition on Coke Bottle Smoke color vinyl limited to just 200 copies courtesy of the fine folks at The Flenser.

Since the band’s formation just over six years ago, the Chat Pile has grown from a scrappy passion project of four local film and music enthusiasts into one of the defining heavy acts to emerge from the 2020s underground. Ray B. (vocals), L. Manhole (guitar), Stin (bass) and Cap’n Ron (drums)’s crushing, crass, and cathartic take on noise rock resonates in this cracked reality. It captures a raw, undeniably human essence that’s increasingly fleeting in an age marked by ceaseless torrents of algorithmic slop, technological overreach, and the cold, crestfallen state of society.

Don’t get left in the dark. Pre-order your copy of Who Loves the Sun now!

NOTE: This is a pre-order due to be released on or around September 4, 2026. All details, including release date, are subject to change.
