Join SIGH “Far Beneath the In-Between”

By: Shawn Macomber Posted in: featured, videos On: Tuesday, February 14th, 2012

Sigh-In-Somniphobia

This morning Decibel has the distinct honor of premiering the latest aural/visual mindfuck from long-running Japanese experimental black metal practitioners SIGH. The track, "Far Beneath the In-Between," is taken from the band's upcoming Candlelight Records release In Somniphobia, an otherworldly, beguiling, frequently bizarre medley of various metals (black, traditional, prog) shot through with ...

Not Dead Yet

24_JasonBecker_1990s

Get ready to put whatever trivial bullshit you were planning to bitch and moan over today on hold: The upcoming documentary Jason Becker: Not Dead Yet is imbued with the kind of uplifting against all odds triumph and spellbinding never-say-die persistence that reorients perspective in a serious way. After making a name for himself in Cacophony with a Megadeth-bound Marty Friedman and ...

HYSTERICAL: Hysteria – The Def Leppard Story, awful biopic, comedy gold

Firstly, kudos to Ben Ward of Orange Goblin for posting this on Facebook today and reminding us that This is Spinal Tap doesn’t have a monopoly on eliciting belly laughs at the expense of rock and metal's superstars. You may like Def Leppard, and even those who don’t may still appreciate “Rocks Off” from On Through the Night as a good-times rock/metal track from when they still had ...

Say hello to the weekend with RED FANG’s “Hank is Dead” video

Oh praise be! The most miserable month of the year is all but over and it's the weekend. This has been such a dry-mouthed hump of a month, but when Red Fang released their video for their super-catchy loose-minded stoner jam “Hank is Dead” the Deciblog made like Barney Gumble with the non-alcoholic champagne and got drunk soley on the power of suggestion. This shit’s the weekend enabler. ...

R.I.P. David Gold

Having been out of the loop for reasons mostly pertaining to visiting family and cramming food into any available space in my body, I was gutted to hear about the passing of Woods of Ypres’ mastermind, David Gold. As I’m sure the pertinent details surrounding the car accident that took his life one week ago today and the memorial/funeral held in his hometown of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario ...

KSP Blows His Load Over Another Band Few of You Give a Fuck About

Amsterdam-based KONG has been one of my favourite bands for over twenty years. I remember coming across a half-page story about the band in an issue of Metal Forces like it was yesterday, except it was 1990. The piece was promoting this oddball Dutch instrumental band and their debut album, Mute Poet Vocalizer, claiming it cherry picked influences from the worlds of metal, progressive rock, ...

Deck the Halls from the Bowels of Hell

http://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=0E-U-s8lCcQ I won't waste your time describing this video which is pretty self-explanatory and should definitely be watched... but also this is the closest I get to a Christmas vacation so I don't want to break my back writing all these difficult words when I could spend it explaining to my parents why listening to Brass Knuckle Abortion is far superior to ...

Metal Machine Music

authorpunisher

Don't worry, this post has nothing to do with Lou Reed or his 1975 two-LP celebration of noise as "music." Although, given the choice of listening to that album or LuLu, we'd take the former in a heartbeat. But we digress. We're actually here to distract you from the ridiculousness of the season with a video that is entirely captivating, and has absolutely nothing to do with the holidays. ...

On Metallica’s 30th Anniversary, a thank you

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5no7Ym1JSA June 4th, 1996 was the day Metallica officially called it quits. While the short hair, Woodstock appearance and looming mainstream acceptance were warning signs, sitting at home and hearing "Ain't My Bitch" for the first time solidified it: Metallica was no longer what they once were. As someone born in 1981, Metallica has sucked now for exactly ...

Remembering Chuck Schuldiner

chuck-schuldiner-of-death_456x304

Ten years ago death metal pioneer Chuck Schuldiner lost his battle with cancer. As the fervor surrounding recent Death and Control Denied reissues clearly demonstrates, the man's legacy has only continued to grow in the intervening years. There are several great remembrances floating around today -- I particularly recommend NPR's "Death is Never Finished" and this Sunyata post on Death ...
