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.

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.
Their debut album, ‘Til The Enemies Are Gone, was recorded in September 2023 and released in October 2024 through Wormholedeath. The record is available now on digital platforms here and on CD here.
Current Lineup
Lance Holland-Keen – guitar/lead vocals
Bon Lowe – drums/backing vox
Coen Winchester – bass/backing vox
Ethan Reeves – guitars/backing vox
