Breaking news from Decibel Magazine Metal & Beer Fest headliners Autopsy regarding their December 6 headlining performance at Summit in Denver: “Hello Autopsy Freaks, Decibel Devourers and Death Metal Fiends! Figured we’d brace you for Friday night’s [December 6] Autopsy set at the Decibel Metal & Beer Fest in Denver, CO. as it will have

Decibel is happy to present a new video from the UK-based black metal band, Vosforis. Vosforis plays a grand and forceful variant of black metal akin to latter-era Satyricon, with faint echoes of some of the more recent output from bands like Necrophobic, Nordjevel, and God Dethroned. It’s a sound that’s captivating and destructive in equal measure,

Greetings, Decibel readers! I can’t believe it’s December already. It’s already time for the last standard edition of this column for the year! For the next couple weeks I’ll be doing my annual takeover in which I rattle off my favorite death metal and black metal albums of 2024. But in the meantime, there’s still

Say what you will of their draconic business practices or underpowered hardware, the fact is that the house that Shigeru Miyamoto built has stood the test of time for one reason: they make really, really good

Erik Wunder, the enigmatic figure behind the Colorado-based solo project Man’s Gin, dropped his latest sonic offering, The Reprobate, on September 6 via Profound Lore. A blend of psychedelic rock, experimental noise, and folk influences, the album is a testament to Wunder’s eclectic musical vision. “The songs had been kind of building up over the

To help whet your palate, we’ve decided to release the entire beer menu that will be on hand at this year’s festivities. If your beer goggles are getting the better of you,

If Rush were from Oregon and predisposed toward a belief in Eastern concepts of reincarnation and other metaphysical topics that many an Oregonian has pondered (while no doubt under the influence of psychedelics), they’d probably sound a whole lot like Portland trio Light Creates Shadow, on their new single, “Beauty For Ashes.” Which is to say,

Where they from?Chavronay, Switzerland. It is now December, which means the holiday onslaught is now upon us. How was your Thanksgiving? The highlight of mine was when my three-year-old nephew opened the door on my Dad while he was pooping. Everyone was horrified except for me and him. I guess we have the same maturity

Swedish death dealers Ghoulhouse are one of prolific multi-instrumentalist Rogga Johansson’s (Paganizer, Ribspreader, et al.) many projects, which gives you a pretty good idea of how Fresh Out of Flesh, the trio’s new album, sounds. The 12-track ripper doesn’t offer much in the way of surprises—the HM-2 is cranked to 11 as Ghoulhouse tear through 11 crusty,

Great Content, the debut album from Toronto-based tech-metal outfit Mirror Neuron, is an explosion of influences from across the extreme metal spectrum. In the press release, the band members describe their sound as taking influence from Between the Buried and Me, Krallice, His Hero is Gone and Anata, which is a pretty apt description. Technically, Great Content is

Justifiably so, we reckon, AI has become the new boogeyman of the metal scene (and perhaps the world at large) and UK death crushers Mutagenic Host have a few thoughts on the matter. Their latest single, “Artificial Harvest of the Obscene,” attacks the theme with an opening salvo of glacially paced DM before thrashing forward

Death rock corpse-shakers New Skeletal Faces ruled all faces on their recent Peaceville Records debut, Until the Night. If you’ve ever smoked a clove cigarette while listening to De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas, then the band’s extreme take on death rock is right up your sketchy alley. And your fiends at Decibel are all too happy
