Centuries Of Decay emerged from Toronto’s metal underground in 2013, fusing progressive
elements with atmospheric death metal to craft a sound that is both ferocious and introspective.
The band comprises Derrick Doucette (Drums), Devin Doucette (Lead Vocals & Guitar), Rob
McAllister (Guitar & Backing Vocals), and Anton Zhura (Bass & Backing Vocals). Their music,
influenced by Gojira, Ulcerate, Enslaved, and Nero DiMarte, delves into themes of societal
decay, loss and grief, overwhelm and transcendence.
Their self-titled debut album, released in 2017, was lauded for its intricate compositions and emotional depth. Following this success, they dominated the Canadian metal scene, performingat prestigious festivals like Wacken Open Air (2018), Armstrong Metal Fest (2019), Decimate Metal Fest (2019) and Ontario Death Fest. Their explosive live shows, known for their overwhelming yet dynamic atmosphere, have captivated audiences nationwide, including a
notable Canadian tour with Tortured Saint and opening for Necrogoblikon.
Centuries Of Decay’s unique blend of heavy, atmospheric soundscapes and patient musical
storytelling is earning them critical acclaim and industry recognition. Derrick Doucette’s victory in Banger TV’s Shredder of Metal Season 3 and the band’s win at Wacken Metal Battle Canada (2018) underscore their technical prowess and artistic innovation. Their forthcoming album, A Monument to Oblivion (2025), promises to push boundaries further, expanding on the
foundation built with their debut.
The band comments: “After 8 long years, ‘To Dust’ is the first single released from our upcoming full-length album, to be released in 2025. The song stands as a defining moment as it encapsulates the album’s core theme of confronting the wreckage of the past to carve a path through the storm, even if all that remains is dust. We are beyond excited to share this with you. Keep an eye out in the coming months for more new songs!”
At its core, Centuries Of Decay’s music is a meditation on the passage of time, inviting listeners to confront themes of change, grief, and personal growth through an emotionally charged, cathartic experience.
