With their latest album, An Insatiable Violence, out and a recent UK tour celebrating the 30th Anniversary of None So Vile completed, Canadian Technical Death Metal legends Cryptopsy return this year again with their Malicious & Vile Summer 2026.
An Insatiable Violence was dubbed a serious contender for their best yet across their 31-year discography by MetalTalk at its release in June 2025.
“We had to write the majority of An Insatiable Violence while on the Death to All tour, which was something we’d never done before,” vocalist Matt McGachy said. “Flo [Mounier, drums] and Chris [Donaldson, guitar] really put their hats on. It was a feat.”
Ever since COVID our focus is clearer,” Mounier said. “A lot of work gets done faster, and we push each other to get it done.”
Frequently cited by Death Metal fans as one of the most extreme and seminal records the genre has ever produced, None So Vile is 31 minutes of unrelenting intensity that reshaped the boundaries of Technical Brutal Death Metal.
“The album left a lasting mark on me when I first heard it,” MetalTalk’s Matty Hunter wrote at the January 2026 Manchester Academy gig. “I was blown away and quickly understood the hype. It is firmly my favourite Death Metal record, and as a huge Cryptopsy fan, seeing a show on this tour was a must. So I travelled down from Newcastle for it.”
A busy summer finds Cryptopsy kicking off their tour in July in Europe, with three dates in the UK before they hit the stage at Bloodstock Open Air.
Full dates are below, including a number of Festivals across Europe. Tickets and full tour details are available from lnk.to/CRYPTOPSY-EUROPESUMMER26.
(Andy Synn was an early supporter of Growth and their debut album, so it only made sense for him to cover their long-gestating sophomore record, out next week) Good things come, or so they say, to those who wait.

The Haunted Youth have shared a new single, murder me.
The track is taken from the Joachim Liebens-led band’s upcoming album Boys Cry Too, which is due out on May 8 via Play It Again Sam.
Speaking about the LP as a whole, the frontman explains, “I was really in touch with the male side of my emotions. The first half of the record is basically how everyone sees a boy when he’s heartbroken: he puts his walls up, he’s paranoid, he’s angry, he’s aggressive. But then the second half is this whole other story – it’s vulnerable.
“I want to show the vulnerable part of men and boys and celebrate it instead of making it this whole stigma that’s been going on for so long.”

Boston stoner/fuzz rock outfit GOZU will release their long-awaited new full-length, Gozu VI, on May 15th through Blacklight Media/Metal Blade Records.
“We wanted something that really moved and hit a nerve,” says GOZU singer/guitarist Marc Gaffney on composing the band’s sixth studio album. “I was pretty roughed up emotionally while writing. I played guitar more in the past two years than ever before. I would work, go to the gym, come home, eat and then play guitar until I went to bed.”

The end result is eight action-packed tracks, produced and mixed by Benny Grotto at Boston’s Mad Oak Studios. Emotion is writ loud and large for the band that’s been praised for their “deep grooves, thick riff mechanics, soulful melodies,” and for creating a “musical stew that intoxicates the listener, sweeping them into another aural universe.”
Gaffney has spoken about the band’s, “maturity mixed with a childlike enthusiasm to play music,” and Gozu VI‘s songs are proof positive. “I think this is more of a soulful, straight forward, guitar-driven album. Lyrically, this took on a whole different feel, and it wrote itself.”
“[Lead guitarist] Doug [Sherman] and I are always sending each other phone recordings,” the singer furthers. “So, we had a bunch in the mix when we all got together. It’s usually Doug and I meeting, then [drummer] Seth [Botos] and [bassist] Joseph [Grotto] hop on board and we all hammer it out. Lyrics for these tunes were written way ahead as I was going through some shit. I would write at night in this crappy apartment I was living in so I would not be indulging in cocktails,” Gaffney says. “Sometimes you must have your own therapy sessions, and I had a fuck ton!“
The singular band’s last album, 2023′s Remedy, was reviewed as an “utter triumph” and praised for being “never too testosteroney, even when the songs are at their heaviest.” Of GOZU‘s writing approach, The Obelisk wrote, “This has been GOZU’s method for seven years now, to take the tones, grooves and – particularly in the vocals of guitarist Marc ‘Gaff’ Gaffney, the soul of heavy rock – and recontextualize them with a force of impact born of heavy metal.”
With Gozu VI, the lineup’s melding of intense, fuzzy ’70s-inspired riffs, rich, catchy, grunge-esque vocal melodies, and a touch of oldschool stoner psychedelia has reached a zenith. Categorize them how you will. “We don’t mind if people think we’re stoner, doom, heavy, easy listening with a touch of cayenne pepper. I feel we’re just a heavy soulful band,” Gaff says. “We play music that people can shake their ass to and lyrics that are honest and deal with human nature.”
In advance of the record’s release, today GOZU presents their first single, “Banacek.” Comments Gaffney, “Iron Maiden is a huge favorite for all of us and we wanted a tune with that Steve Harris gallop. Jellyfish has always been a band that has crippled me with their amazing vocal harmonies so intrinsically that’s how the vocals arrived!“

Trafalgar Releasing has unveiled the official trailer for the upcoming Iron Maiden feature documentary, now titled Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition.
Documenting one of the most iconic journeys in music history, the film is set to hit theaters for a limited time only beginning May 7, 2026, with tickets going on sale today, Wednesday, March 18.
Directed by Malcolm Venville (Churchill At War) and produced by Dominic Freeman (Spirits In The Forest – A Depeche Mode Film), the feature-length documentary charts Iron Maiden‘s remarkable five-decade journey.
Alongside the band, the documentary features on-camera reflections from prominent admirers, including Javier Bardem, Lars Ulrich and Chuck D, each speaking to Iron Maiden‘s influence on music, culture and generations of fans worldwide.
When it was first made available in February, the key art by Albert “Akirant” Quirantes offered the first visual look at the documentary.
Formed in East London in 1975, Iron Maiden have grown into one of the world’s most influential and enduring rock bands. Across 50 years they have released 17 studio albums, sold over 100 million records, and performed almost 2,500 concerts across 64 countries.
The documentary arrives as the band continues its two-year Run For Your Lives world tour, which included a triumphant homecoming performance at London Stadium a short distance from where it all began five decades ago.
Iron Maiden was founded in 1975 by bassist Steve Harris and have grown to become one of the world’s most celebrated bands. With a steady recording output beginning with their self-titled 1980 debut, they have released 17 studio albums, 13 live albums and 47 singles which have sold in excess of 100 million copies worldwide. They have played almost 2,500 live shows across 64 countries and were carried to some of these aboard Ed Force One, a Boeing 757 and then later a 747 piloted by singer Bruce Dickinson. They have been the recipients of a Grammy Award and a Brit Award, among many other accolades, most recently joining The Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd with their very own Royal Mail stamp set. Their beer, Trooper Beer, is now in its twelfth year and has sold in excess of 40 million pints and is distributed in 68 countries, including six local variants in USA, Germany, Brazil, Spain, Sweden and Australia. 2025 marked the band’s official 50th year and is being celebrated by a two-year world tour titled Run For Your Lives and a range of events and products including their first-ever official hardcover visual history book, Infinite Dreams.

Even in the small tent of the extreme metal community, tech-death resides in an exceptionally cramped corner—and for good reason. The mental math required to compose any of the subgenre’s anthems is already commendable, but the physical dexterity necessary to perform them is downright baffling. Understandably, the list of musicians able and willing to perform at such a high level is quite short. Putting out one capable tech-death record is an accomplishment—Canadian champions Archspire are on the verge of their fifth. Aptly titled Too Fast to Die, the now fully independent quintet are continuing to tell the tale of their sprawling sci-fi epic while pushing their abilities to their outer limits. With that said, are you terribly surprised to find them as the latest player characters in the Kill Feed arcade?
At the time of recording, the group had just returned from a week-long run through Australia, giving them the opportunity to pump the brakes for Decibel’s resident co-nerds. Bassist Jared Smith and newly installed drummer Spencer Moore, playing their part as representative gamers, happily spent the evening discussing the breadth of their gaming credentials. What we found was that though their taste for the technical may factor into the band’s love of the notoriously difficult FromSoft library of games, even Promised Cosort Radahn is ultimately an escape from their warp-speed world. As they gear up to unleash their new album as well as put the pedal to the metal for their upcoming Long Roads, Big Loads Tour with friends of the column Undeath, we hope you stop to enjoy this interview.
