We get technical for this week’s roundup with new releases from Diskord, Fleshbore, Burial in the Sky and more!

Because the Decibel Metal & Beer Fest: Los Angeles party never really stops.

GosT’s Baalberith talks new album “Possessor,” Satanic Panic, and his future as a synthwave artist.

Days of Darkness lasted two days. So does our coverage. Come on in for a glance at the damp-weather-enforced second round of doom, etc.

Cornered in a cold, dark room on a rickety chair, GosT’s main keyslasher succumbs to Decibel’s queries about Non Paradisi and new album Possessor.

Heavy metal has been flirting with electronic music for decades now, but the lines between the two worlds seem blurrier today than ever before. Chalk it up to Internet culture—with instant access to all the world’s information comes a vast multitude of subgenres that have enough permutations to satisfy all but the most discerning purists. Add to that the recent popularity of synth-heavy horror flicks like It Follows and numerous electronic artists signing to metal labels (Goblin Rebirth on Relapse, Gost/Dan Terminus/Perturbator on Blood Music) and it becomes pretty obvious: dark electronic/ambient music has pulled off a full-scale crossover!
