Australian heavy/thrash metal force DECIMATOR return with their new EP Downfallen, out soon via Wormholedeath. The release marks a fierce new chapter for the Sydney-based band, channeling their trademark blend of old-school aggression and sharp modern intensity.

Watch the music video for the title track “Downfallen”:

Inspired by Robespierre’s Reign of Terror and the chaos following the fall of the French monarchy, Downfallen captures the brutality, paranoia, and political collapse of revolution through a storm of riff-driven fury and relentless rhythm.

About DECIMATOR:

Formed in early 2021, Decimator has undergone a few lineup changes, seeing the band go from strength to strength.
In late 2024, Riley Perry joined the band on bass, bringing a new and even more refined approach to songwriting, having been active in projects such as “Of Flesh” and formerly being part of the thrash metal band Paralysis. Unfortunately, 2025 also saw more changes – but Caiseal Duncan replacing Ethan Reeves on guitar and Ashley Pollard replacing Bon Lowe on drums brought even more fire and ferocity
to the band.

Lance Holland-Keen, now the only original member, leads them on, with this single a small taste of the EP due out later this year.
The band are already writing new material for 2026 and playing shows in Sydney – decimating every stage they step onto.

Aussie heavy/thrash powerhouse Decimator is back, just in time for the spooky season, with their new single “Halloween Sematary”, out today via Wormholedeath.

Equal parts brutal and nostalgic, “Halloween Sematary” pays tribute to two cult classics—John Carpenter’s Halloween and the Ramones’ Pet Sematary—reimagined with Decimator’s raw energy and relentless thrash metal bite. The track captures the band’s trademark heaviness while giving a wicked nod to horror.

Australian heavy metal titans Decimator are set to blast through the metal landscape with their electrifying double A-side single “Warriors”, a thunderous homage to historical storytelling that captures the raw essence of classic metal tradition.

Paying tribute to the legendary 7-inch single format of the 70s and 80s, Decimator delivers two meticulously crafted tracks that transport listeners through time and battlefield: “Warriors” and “Wolf of the Plains”. This is not just a musical release; it’s a historical odyssey carved in sonic steel.

A Tale of Two Legends

“Warriors” emerges as the band’s primordial creation, a track refined through years of musical evolution, unveiling the true story of the Knights Templar without mythological embellishment. Since their very first live performance, this song has been a cornerstone of Decimator’s explosive stage presence.

Complementing “Warriors” is “Wolf of the Plains”, an epic musical journey through the life of Genghis Khan. Inspired by Conn Iggulden’s historical narratives and tipping a respectful hat to Iron Maiden’s legendary storytelling, the track promises to be a metal history lesson unlike any other.

Engineered at The Confectionery in Newtown and mixed by Josh Szafranski of STE Studios, the single represents the band’s commitment to authentic, powerful metal.

Beyond the Single

Building on their 2024 release “Til the Enemies are Gone”, Decimator continues to forge a unique path in heavy metal. Their music transcends traditional boundaries, exploring historical figures, environmental challenges, and human struggles with unflinching intensity.

The band is already preparing for future releases, with plans for another conceptual double single exploring the complexities of the modern world.

Prepare for sonic warfare! Australian heavy metal juggernaut Decimator has inked a deal with Wormholedeath Records for the release of their earth-shattering album “Til The Enemies Are Gone”, dropping on October 4th, 2024.

Decimator, founded by Lance Holland-Keen and Mike Le Macchia in January 2021 out of their mutual love for thrash and old-school metal, originates from South/West Sydney, Australia. Despite navigating COVID lockdowns and lineup changes, the band played their inaugural live show in September 2022 with Lance on guitar and vocals, Mike on guitar, Bon Lowe on drums, and John Montibeler on bass.

Shortly after their debut, John faced a medical issue, leading to Kim Ross briefly filling in before Coen Winchester joined permanently, mastering the set in just one month. The lineup of Lance, Mike, Bon, and Coen went on to perform shows in October and November 2022. By December, Ethan Reeves replaced Mike on guitar.

Their album “Til the Enemies Are Gone” was recorded in a day session at Powell Lane Studios, Coogee, NSW, Australia in September 2023, yielding nine tracks. Originally intending “Warriors” as their debut single in 2022, the band opted for “Killdozer” as their 2024 release, featuring songs composed by a lineup that initially performed together only once.

Embracing a DIY ethos akin to old-school metal, Decimator’s album explores themes of human emotion, suffering, mental health, loss, historical references, and contemporary events through Lance’s lyrics.

The band returns to the studio in July for a double single, featuring an early composition and a new recording of “Warriors.” They plan to record a full album of fresh material in late 2024/early 2025 for release in early 2025, showcasing the current four-piece lineup exclusively.

Tracklisting:

1. Burn The Truth
2. The Rock
3. Legions
4. Phantoms
5. Blackened Skies
6. The Blade

8. Killdozer

Join the Decimator legion and witness the crushing power of “Killdozer” Music Video:

The narrative is loosely based on the events leading to Marvin Heemeyer’s suicide after the “Killdozer” episode in the town of Granby. The story became quite well known and there are plenty of other musical tributes – but this one is ours and ours alone!
