Wormholedeath is pleased to announce the release of “The Gap,” the new single from Sydney thrash/heavy metal band Decimator.
Musically unrelenting but emotionally complex, “The Gap” tackles the heavy duality of human struggle. Inspired by Sydney’s infamous coastal landmark, the track explores the thin line between tragedy and survival.
“It’s a song about despair and hope,” explains guitarist Caiseal Duncan. “The Gap is a tragic place where many people have gone to end their lives. But after decades, maybe some go there and think again about their decision? Maybe there’s a force that makes them reconsider and return to their life?”
“The Gap” is the first release from Decimator’s forthcoming album and marks the debut of the band’s new lineup, with Ash Pollard now behind the kit.
About DECIMATOR:
Founded in January 2021 by Lance Holland-Keen and Mike Le Macchia, Decimator was forged in a shared obsession with old-school thrash and uncompromising heavy metal. The band famously battled through COVID-era restrictions and revolving line-ups before cementing their reputation as a lethal live act, debuting on stage in September 2022.
Following the success of their raw, unfiltered debut album, ’Til The Enemies Are Gone’—recorded in a single session at Powell Lane Studios and released in October 2024 via Wormholedeath—Decimator has consistently proven themselves as one of the hardest-working bands in the modern Australian metal scene. “The Gap” signals an evolution in their sound, combining their signature old-school thrash grit with a massive, modern sonic assault.
Line UP:
Lance Holland-Keen – guitar/vox
Riley Perry – bass/vox
