Despite being tasked with copyediting two dozen illiterates and devising approximately 400 metal puns per issue, Decibel Managing Editor Andrew Bonazelli still manages to create an incredible amount of written material on the side. 

Decibel is proud to announce the trailer to Wolfheart’s “Fire & Ice” for the upcoming Decibel Flexi Series. This amazing track of melancholic death will be the insert (on snow white and ice blue plastic!) to our December 2015 issue, which may or may not feature more than one Finnish band on its cover or in its inside pages.

A battle for the ages. Who ya got?

Earlier this year Brooklyn duo Psalm Zero released Real Rain, the first of a planned trilogy of special cassette releases called The Birthright Trilogy. Five months later avant-garde stalwart Charlie Looker and guitar genius Andrew Hock (if you read Decibel you know who Castevet are) have returned with the second installation, Hunchback, which will be released September 29 on Black Mass Productions.

Two legendary bands from opposite ends of the extreme music spectrum make November’s Decibel a must-read: Iron Maiden gallops onto their fourth dB cover, and Napalm Death grinds out their second Hall of Fame.  

I’m going to go on the record and say that we’re going to see some compelling football out of the AFC East this year.

Third album, 30 musicians. That’s baller.

Your friends at Decibel have long revered Nunslaughter, not just for their dedication to underground metal but for their sheer persistence.
