Sorry for the tease, but this post isn't exactly about Motorhead's Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers compilation. Bear with us, though, because it does have some relevance to the topic at hand. You may or may not remember a regular part of the Deciblog rotation a couple years ago was a little thing we called "This Record Rules." It allowed us writers to spout off about an album that was blowing our ...

Ok motherfuckers, starting tomorrow, one of the most fun-filled touring adventures of the year kicks off in Springfield, Virginia. A co-heading run featuring grind grand pappies Napalm Death and the travelling bachelor party known as Municipal Waste with the reigning good-time guardians of gore grind, Exhumed offering direct support would normally be enough to top up a good percentage of ...

For the majority of the nearly 50,000 people who bought their tickets to one or more of the Great American Beer Festival sessions (which took place in Denver last weekend) when they went on sale last summer, the opportunity to attend this massive beer tasting event is probably the pinnacle of their craft beer-drinking year. After all, there are approximately 2,700 brews to sample from every ...

The craft beer world is still trying to undo the damage done by shitty pale American lagers to canned beer's reputation. It's a sad fact that most craft beer drinkers think that bottled beer is "better" than canned beer, when the exact opposite is actually the case. If we all agree that craft beer is most importantly about, well, the beer, then cans win hands-down. Here's why: they take care of ...

Since we know that a few of you may be enjoying frosty barley pops and doing your best not to blow a limb off tomorrow while celebrating Independence Day, we figured a Tankard song premiere was in order. Yeah, don't ask us how we got from Point A to Point B on that one, but just drink some more beer and we're sure it'll all start making sense. We do know that that, like you, Tankard are pretty ...

June 15, Neumos, Seattle, WA. We received the message through the usual channels, but this time the priority was urgent. "We're coming to Seattle," said Witte, "and I need to go to Brouwer's." As the local beer ambassador to the extremely extreme set, we felt compelled to honor this request, so upon Municipal Waste's arrival in Seattle, a meeting was set up and arrangements were made to ...

Tankard were living the Brewtal Truth life, long before we ever had our first sip of beer. They predate every extreme band that ever regularly sang the praises of beer. Wehrmacht, Gang Green, Korpiklaani, Municipal Waste and many others—all owe this German thrash quartet a huge debt. Or at least a frosty six-pack. These dudes are officially celebrating 30 years of beer-drunk existence with ...

So, for the record we don't in any way endorse actual drinking and driving. That's just stupid. However, the geniuses at Dream Arcades have invented a machine that we heartily endorse getting wrecked while using. It has been our experience that the addition of beer to most things makes them better. Except driving. Did we mention that? Drinking beer does not make driving or operating heavy ...

We already had occasion to cream our jeans a couple weeks back in anticipation of this awesome Toxic Holocaust/Municipal Waste split 12" on Tankcrimes Records, but now we have the pleasure of tantalizing you with two(!) tracks from said four-song EP. This nut-busting coupling of two of our favorite thrashers comes in a number of different limited and not so limited versions that may or may ...

There is no metal on Maui. We looked. The most metal thing we found was the lumbering, acrid smoke-belching Sugar Cane Train that Saxon will no doubt write a song about on their upcoming 57th album, which is going to be a concept record dedicated to various forms of transportation. (Also set for inclusion are "Filth 'Hound of Hoboken," their paean to riding the Greyhound across America, and ...
