Will wonders never cease? Not long ago Billy Corgan outed himself as a Mercyful Fate fanboy able to correctly name the preeminent Black Sabbath record -- that's Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, kids -- and now the 90's alt-rock icon has formed his own pro-wrestling company -- Resistance Pro -- where he’ll serve as “creative director.” The promotion's first show is scheduled for November 25 in ...

It was Heath Rave who asked Decibel during an interview, "When have tattoos and rock music not gone together?" We all know the answer, but we'd be willing to wager that they've never gone together this well. You're probably more familiar with Rave as the bloodfueld drummer from Wolvhammer. You can still download their first two EPs for free, which are two chronic examples of raw ...

Odds are if I were to corner Missy Elliott and ask her how old the Motorhead shirt she’s sporting in the photo above, the answer would include variations on the phrases “My stylist picked it out for me,” “I don’t know” and “Motor-whatnow?” before her security detail – inevitably led by a 6’8” 475-lb black dude nicknamed “Tiny” – beat my ass into the middle of next ...

If you're like me, then you see these images all the time because you google the words "king diamond tattoo" everyday. For the rest of y'all, here is a crucial collection of the evilest ink out there. ...

The material is mostly pretty thin gruel. (Not to mention manifestly debunked by our Justify Your Shitty Taste feature...) "The kid who wants to ...

In a strange bit of serendipity, I happened to finally get around to watching Behemoth’s excellent Evangelia Heretika DVD on the same day the New York Times ran a story headlined, “Poland, Bastion of Religion, Sees Rise in Secularism.” Thus, after being flabbergasted by a tour documentary wherein Catholic politicians collude with the police in an (unsuccessful) attempt to shut down a ...

...and it's a shiny, newly refurbished heart. Diamond's wife Livia breaks news of the several heart attacks which culminated in the diabolical falsetto's recent triple bypass open heart surgery in a fairly harrowing post on Coven Worldwide. Here's an excerpt: "If you are interested in the details of how this surgery is performed, please look it up online. I will only touch on the ...

First off, can someone send me a picture that would fall under the search title "Metalhead Reading"? Jesus Inverted Christ, the internet, all I want is a guy with gauntlets and a novel. It can't be that elusive. Anyways, the post-metal version of book publishers, McSweeney's, put up this game the other day that asks you to guess whether or not the following are metal band names or collective ...

If you've been following us here on the Deciblog for the last few months, you know that exactly every two weeks we post a flyer for something called Heavy Tuesday. We're still not really sure what it is, but J. Bennett keeps insisting that it's occasionally awesome. As far as we can tell, it's this heavy metal DJ night that he and Scott Carlson from Repulsion do at this bar called Footsies in ...
