Latest release
Third taste of the debut album. An earth set ablaze by human hands: machines, smoke and a field of skulls.
Six singles, 2020–2025, and the road to the debut album.
Every single, its own visual descent.
The Band
Decessus is a Chilean progressive death metal band, formed in Santiago in 2020. Its name comes from Latin and means “descent” or “fall” — the existential, shadowed tone that runs through everything they make.
What began as a university project rose fast through the underground for its technical craft and, above all, for the magnetic contrast between its vocalist’s elegant image and the brutality of her guttural voice on stage.
Our cause
Decessus doesn’t use death metal just to frighten. We use it to name what’s coming: a burning planet, species we silence, minds that collapse. The darkness in our music mirrors the world we’re leaving behind.
Razed forests, skies of smoke, machines that never stop. “Dark Flames” is the portrait of an earth set ablaze by our own hand.
The top-hatted vulture that represents us is both carrion and witness. We speak for the species with no voice in the room where their extinction is decided.
“The Hollow Descent” is the fall inward. Extreme metal as a safe place to name anguish instead of hiding it.
