Artist: Decibel

Before there were blogs there were these things called magazines, and the only metal magazine we still get excited about reading every month is Decibel. Here's managing editor Andrew Bonazelli… Your MS overlords are just as geeked on Baroness as us, bringing you live renditions of "Take My Bones Away" and "March to the Sea," Yellow & [...]

Not that he needed it, but this upswing of Trap music has made Decibel 's stock go up just that much more. Although his style if more Dubstep than anything, there are definitely nuances of the former. It's really a nice marriage of the two genres. I'm not trying to put any spoilers out there, but I'm pretty excited to hear what he comes up with for his contribution to our Mix Series . Check out our previous spots on him to hear some of his "older" stuff or dig into his [...]

For their epic "On the Record" series, Metal Injection has thus far explored the topics of reunions, subgenres, how the internet has changed metal, and women in metal; now, for the season finale, they're looking to the future, wondering what's gonna be next for extreme music. As in prior episodes, the Injectioners rounded up a wide range of metallic experts [...]

Here's managing editor Andrew Bonazelli… Ideally, here at Decibel, we try to switch up the cover artist, hall of fame and flexi disc so you're not like great, here's the girlfriend metal [...]

To the shock and dismay of some men and the surprise and delight of others, the past ten years have demonstrated, inarguably, that women can like metal, too. This seems like it should be a fairly simple nonissue, and yet, somehow, it is not - because never mind that some knuckle draggers are still like [...]

Our #1 homies at Metal Injection have released the latest episode of their epic "On the Record" series, and this one may be the most relevant to MetalSucks readers yet - 'cause it's all about how the internet changed metal. Wait wait wait... the internet changed metal?!?! I had no idea. Wow. I'm gonna hafta go lie down for [...]

Here's managing editor Andrew Bonazelli… Here's a game we haven't played in a while, with (if I'm not mistaken) new spoils for the victor. Guess the cover of the June Decibel, and [...]

More than two years and twenty pounds ago, the Metal Injection militia invaded the MetalSucks Mansion to interview us for what would become their now-in-progress, absolutely epic "On the Record" series. Now the episode for which we interviewed has been released, and you can watch it below. It specifically concentrates on the truly overwhelming about of [...]

Here's managing editor Andrew Bonazelli… So, there were two M's/A's games in Japan last week that nobody cared about (although King Felix vs. Yoenis was a sick early matchup), and yesterday the [...]

Last week, we told you about "On the Record," an incredibly ambitious (and fun!) new five-part series from Metal Injection that will cover a variety of topics pertaining to the state of metal in the twenty-first century; now the first episode, covering the most prominent reunions of the past decade, is available for your viewing [...]

Melding electronica with lo-fi indie seems to be done thing right now and the latest band to throw their intoxicating sound into the mix is Decibels . The five piece release a single, The Lesser (below), on March 26th and have a track featured on a forthcoming Warp records compilation. Boasting a sound that is at once insatiably catchy while remaining both mysterious and unique, we're expecting big things from them. We're giving away a free Mp3 from them at the bottom of the page and we also grabbed a chat with them to find out [...]

Decibels are one of the more unique groups that I've come across this year. Their combination of Indie Rock and Electronica displayed on their new single "The Lesser" shows the band emphasizing their strengths and maybe hinting at a new direction? Its too soon to say, but their previous releases have been glitchy and atmospheric so this new cut could be a game changer. As for the track itself, well, there's no denying that chorus. It swells and sings above the synth tracks and, further still, the active drum lines. Look for the official release [...]

Here's managing editor Andrew Bonazelli… In Solitude don't even have a Wikipedia page (as of this Wednesday afternoon writing), but so what? Let's all overcrowd the ground floor together. Their second full-length, [...]

Check it out below, along with a rather depressing video that sees "The Lesser" as a [...]
