VIDEO PREMIERE: ZEUS! DELIVERS EPIC, KING OF THE GODS WORTHY INSANITY ON “ENEMY E CORE”
November 16, 2016 Shawn Macomber
Lord, Bologna duo Zeus! sure isn’t looking to make it easy for the File Under peeps to do their job with “Enemy E Core,” a proggy, fuzzed out noise punk take on math rock off the band’s Three One G release MOTOMONOTONO that sort of gives off a Rorschach-wandering-into-a-Pelican-practice-a-decade-ago vibe.
If that sounds like something you’d like to jam while watching various animal species throw down, Decibel totally has your hump day back.

When the Pain Goes Marching In: Theologian Premiere!
December 30, 2014 Shawn Macomber
This is one day you most assuredly do not want to be canonized: We’ve got an exclusive premiere courtesy the Decibel noise special issue-approved sonic nightmare factory that is Theologian, and good goddamn does this track from the band’s upcoming two disc set Pain of the Saints — out January 7 on Malignant Records —…
Throw Me a Frickin’ Label Hack (NOISE Edition II): Christopher S. Feltner
July 25, 2014 Daniel Lake
It’s been a good month for celebrating the noisier side of the extremely extreme. All good things must end… though it’s hard to believe that we won’t be revisiting gritty, shadowy, unfettered sound in the future, if only here on the Deciblog. To round out the month of noise, we spoke to Virginia-based Christopher S….
Throw Me a Frickin’ Label Hack (NOISE Edition): Guillermo Pizarro
June 27, 2014 Daniel Lake
By now, many of you are enjoying Decibel’s August issue, #118. Perhaps you’re excited because it’s The Godflesh Issue, and the emphatically awesome return of that project is certainly worthy of your enthusiasm. Maybe you’re psyched about it being The Melvins HOF Issue, a look back on an extraordinary record by an influential band that…
International Noise Conference: The Movie
February 11, 2014 Shawn Macomber
Tickets for the Miami International Film Festival sure-to-be cacophonous premiere of the documentary International Noise Conference 2013 go on sale this Friday, so it seemed like as good a time as any to check in with director Ronnie Rivera… How did the idea for the doc come about? I have been photographing the noise community…
In Person Aural Devastation: Author & Punisher Live
September 16, 2013 Shawn Macomber
Decibel has made no secret of our love for the idiosyncratic have-to-see-it-to-believe-it one-man doom behemoth Author & Punisher. And these insane videos from the band’s recent performance at the Fillmore basically speak for themselves. So…further comment is probably unnecessary. The new record, Women & Children, is available here. Bonus: The Lynch-ian video for “Terrorbird” after…

How About Some Split Cranium (feat. Aaron Turner)?
March 27, 2012 Adem Tepedelen
So had everything worked out just right, we’d be giving you an exclusive premiere of this track from Split Cranium. However, considering the fact the album came out last week, some of you may have already “premiered” it on your home stereo. And, as such, the “exclusive” part of this is moot. For those of…
O’Brother Premiere Track From New Album
November 8, 2011 Adem Tepedelen
We can’t speak for our fellow Decibloggers, but our own goal for these weekly dispatches is to entertain, inform and occasionally enlighten. Beyond that, anything goes, just as long as it’s within the “extremely extreme” wheelhouse. So, today we’re offering up the premiere of a track from a band that we could hardly argue is…
NOW STREAM THIS: WOLD Badb
October 24, 2011 Jonathan Horsley
With the release of last year’s beyond bizarre Working Together for our Privacy Canadian black metal/noise duo Wold appeared to have misplaced their minds. What really should have been some sort of haunting, spectral noise record was in the cold light of day just one sustained fog of static that was the ultimate challenge for…
