As someone who grew up on shitty Midwestern boner rock radio, I get a little more excited than most of our staff (most of whom were making corpsepaint rorschachs in their diapers) when a clever, no-bullshit hard rock band graces our pages. ÆGES have already got some Upfront and reviews section love (well, they will in June) in dB, so damn right we're premiering their new video. Not to ...

Unless you live in Sweden and can subscribe to Sweden Rock Magazine for less than $132.77 per year (that's the rate to America), chances of owning a physical CD slice of Marduk's new "Souls for Belial" single are slim at best -- pretty much up to eBay and/or those of you lucky enough to have a kinder-than-kind Swedish penpal -- 'cause the only way to get it is to be a subscriber. Bummer, it looks ...

Orange Goblin's appetite for ale is the stuff of legend. When the Deciblog caught up with them prior to the long-awaited release of Eulogy for the Damned, frontman Ben Ward, bassist Martyn Millard, drummer Christ Turner and guitarist Joe Hoare were piecing together the making of an album that was recorded over nine weekend sessions. But as excited as they were about the album, the prospect of ...

Look, as regular viewers of Project Runway and The Rachel Zoe Project already well and truly understand, there is a fine line between embodying haute couture and becoming, in the immortal words of Tim Gunn, "a pterodactyl out of a gay Jurassic Park." In Varg Vikernes' promo shoot for the upcoming (actually quite excellent!) third post-prison Burzum joint Umskiptar, the artist formerly known as ...

After very regrettably missing the first four dates of the inaugural Decibel Magazine Tour due to visa delays, black metal miscreants Watain officially enter the fold at tonight's show in Lawrence, KS. We're all beyond thrilled to finally see the completion of this diabolical puzzlebox, and you should be too. Let's all go off to see the (black) wizards in Kansas and beyond. ...

Welcome to The Lazarus Pit, a biweekly look at should-be classic metal records that don’t get nearly enough love; stuff that’s essential listening that you’ve probably never heard of; stuff that we’re too lazy to track down the band members to do a Hall Of Fame for.  This week, we have another Dis- band, although this time, they have nothing to do with Discharge – Disharmonic Orchestra ...

Speaking to Terrorizer frontman Anthony "Wolf" Rezhawk just before comeback LP Hordes of Zombies dropped, there was a lot that needed thrashing out. Firstly, there was the prospect of the Californian grind crew getting back together again after founding member Jesse Pintado's death in 2006. Also, drummer Pete "Commando" Sandoval's well-publicized back trouble, which has kept him off the Morbid ...

If you root around the internet for about three-and-a-half seconds, you can find all sorts of info on Calgary’s doom-y, sludge-y, math-y metallic duo, Mares of Thrace. Most of that will pertain to the band being comprised of two women – drummer Stefani MacKichan and guitarist/vocalist Thérèse Lanz – and all that clappity-clap about hot(test) women in metal, breaking gender sterotypes, ...

The uncharacteristically warm winter that we just witnessed on the East Coast may have masked it, but summer is only weeks away from another triumphant return. And accompanying that inevitable reappearance, of course, will be staples like baseball, grilling and the beach. While the upcoming Torche album could serve as a perfect complement to any of those activities, not to mention as the ...

It's possible Scott Kelly doesn't sleep. Between his solo work, projects like Shrinebuilder and the untouchable legacy of Neurosis, you could rest a battleship on his laurels. But the man seems to never tire, with something new always around the bend. And to keep his fans in the loop with tours, releases and whatever else he finds relevant, We Burn Through the Night has been created, a slick ...
