Phobia “If You Used To Be Punk, Then You Never Were” Streaming MP3
November 4, 2010 Chris Dick
Since we, rather Albert, wrote the book on the absolutely probable history of death metal and grindcore (available here as a shameful but necessary plugadelic), we felt there has been a dearth of grindcore and grindcore-related things on the Deciblog. We know. We’ve got Sailors With Wax Wings, Valient Thorr, Gene Simmons, and fucking Shadowgarden…

Upstart Connecticut noise merchants Pristina have already received the Cosmo Lee invisible oranges-up in our print edition.

Today…
Fear, Emptiness, Sarah Palin
November 2, 2010 Shane Mehling
We here at Decibel try to stay apolitical due to the fact that all stripes of metalheads should be welcomed into the fold to get their fucking faces torn to shreds by brutality. But a keen-eyed reader, W. Jaczkowski, sent us this screenshot with some un-apolitical words for the current mother of a girl who…
Top 5 Worst Atheist Songs By Kelly Shaefer (Atheist)
November 2, 2010 Chris Dick
During a conversation with Atheist frontman/guitarist, Kelly Shaefer, we jokingly asked him to come up with 5 of Atheist’s worst songs. Now, normally this is no-go territory for any artist with a high sense of self worth, but Shaefer was a cool dude about it. In fact, he laughed. And then said, “I fucking hate…
White Moth “Smiles Warm Red Light” Video Primiere
November 1, 2010 Chris Dick
What do Atari Teenage Riot and Blut Aus Nord have in common? Uh, hard to tell, but Sailors With Wax Wings and Pyramids mastermind R. Loren knows the connection and would probably wax scholastically — existential attributes reinforced by repetition — about it. Turns out when R. Loren isn’t busy with bridging shoegaze/post-punk and black/doom…
