When we’re not busy publishing North America’s only monthly metal magazine, releasing authoritative metal history books, unleashing Top 100 lists in special issue form and adding to our ever-expanding flexi discography, we like to host a live event or two. Here’s a round-up of Decibel-related shows going down winter gives way to spring.

Lord! It may have taken long-rising future progressive doom kings Kenoma eleven years to follow up that leveling 2006 split alongside Mouth of the Architect, but with Tides Will Prevail the Dayton, Ohio quintet delivers an empyreal debut full-length intricate, beguiling, and memorable enough to justify the gestation.
