Want to know how excited Fight Amp is to be playing its first hometown show of the year? So excited that my fellow South Jerseyans decided to give away a pair of tickets to their May 28th show at Philadelphia's Kung Fu Necktie and asked us to help. Oh, did we mention that the evening will also features the likes of Weedeater, Old Wounds and Philadelphia's own Serpent Throne? Nah, you didn't ...

There's a lot of business and entertaining reading for y'all to get down to this week. You don't need me gumming up the gears with my special brand of bullshit. Los Angeles-based servants of evil/slaves of Satan, Seven Sisters of Sleep have a new album at the ready. It's called Opium Morals and it sounds like Ol' Nick himself is under the floorboards, pounding back shots of kerosene and killing ...

An Oozing Contest, Plus We Catch Up with Brian Chippendale

Black Pus - PUS COLORS

If you're a fan of Lightning Bolt's immensely quirky, insanely loud, outsider extreme music, then the name Brian Chippendale is probably very familiar to you. He's the dervish behind the drums, often seen wearing a sock on his head with a microphone sewn into it as he seemingly grows three extra arms so as to hit everything in sight at the highest velocity. Chippendale also has a side ...

Normally when we do a giveaway in conjunction with streaming media we talk all kinds of rubbish to get you to a link where, inevitably, you'll email us and then wait an eternity to see if you're a winner or a loser. Well, since we're metalheads we're all winners. Just some get free rad stuff from websites while others don't. This time, however, we're asking metalheads to contribute to win. That's ...

If Decibel was worth its weight in ink, paper, and stress---mostly on the shoulders of our beloved EIC Mr. Mudrian---then we'd have some staffers who were there when Thergothon dropped its only long-player Stream from the Heavens like a Cthulhu tentacle on wee Italy-based indie Avantgarde Music. We do have staffers who were there, bought 1 of 2000 copies (we think that's the original press ...

CONTEST: Feel like a Viking. Win Turisas swag!

turisas_vikingmetal_decibel_2013

It's been ages since we hosted a contest where a band donned warpaint and rampaged heshers from sea to shining sea. In fact, we can't recall if we've ever hosted a contest by a band as visually unique as Turisas. Sure, those old Darkthrone or Khold photos were cool, but Turisas take the "corpse" out of corpsepaint and replace it with "war". Now, typically warriors painted their faces to look ...

M-wegotpower

Ah, to be a metalhead on the biggest holiday of the year. We're imagining that you got a new fleece from Eddie Bauer instead of the rare Xasthur LP you hoped would end up under the tree. Your incontinent grandpa is still asleep on the couch. You are now hiding in your room scanning metal blogs. Lucky you. We've teamed up with our good friends at Bazillion Points to give away two copies of We ...

There's some indication that nuevo thrash gods Municipal Waste are, to put it mildly, a tad nutty. Case in point, the Richmondians' near-takeover of the Deciblog. Search for Municipal Waste in our handy dandy search mechanism and not one but FIVE pages turn up. Inside those five pages you'll find the Waste with long dong porn legend Ron Jeremy, riding Seattle's Space Needle like a pony, zany ...

Before we get to all the details of this amazing giveaway—a free guitar!—from the generous folks at Roadrunner Records and Epiphone, we want to wish Machine Head mainman Robb Flynn a very speedy recovery from his recent hernia surgery. We know he's anxious to get back out on the road and resume the tour with Dethklok, All That Remains and Black Dahlia Murder once he's back on his feet. In ...

And by "some stuff," we mean the band's entire digital discography, plus a killer T-shirt. Musically the lucky giveaway winner will receive: A Momentary Sense of ...
