Ithaca's Decrement draw from the rich upstate New York heavy music tradition, weaving post-metal's expansive textures together with sludge's grinding heaviness and doom's glacial pace. Since 2018, they've built songs that collapse under their own weight — beautifully.
Decrepancy plays death metal from Jagodina in central Serbia, active since 2017 and channeling decay and deterioration into focused extreme metal. Their name's suggestion of crumbling integrity translates into compositions that assault conventional musical structures.
Milwaukee death metal act Decrepid have been stalking the Midwest underground since 2011 with a no-nonsense, punishing approach rooted in the genre's most meat-and-potatoes tradition. Wisconsin grime runs through every riff.
Pennsylvania death metal outfit Decrepify emerged in 2020 with a bleak, punishing sound that leans into rot and ruin as aesthetic principles. Unadorned and unrelenting — exactly what the name implies.
Portland death metal act Decrepisy arrived in 2021 with a sound that owes as much to the genre's most fetid, old-school traditions as to the Pacific Northwest's storied extreme scene. Slow-churning, foul, and deliberate.
One of Spokane's longest-running extreme metal acts, Decrepit have been plumbing the depths of raw black metal since 1993 — over three decades of stripped-down, unadorned darkness from the inland Pacific Northwest. A true underground survivor.

Boston's Decrepit Decapitation of a Man Once Lost in the Forest of Fate arrive in 2024 with one of extreme metal's most absurdly committed names and a sound to match — blackened deathcore colliding with death metal's raw, dissonant tradition. The title is a thesis statement.
Decrepit Depravity is a brutal death metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden, formed in 2010. The project delivers punishing brutal death metal.
