FEAR, EMPTINESS, DECIBEL: GUESS THE NEXT DECIBEL COVER, WIN A FREE DECIBOT T-SHIRT
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…
Usually around this time of the month I infiltrate your ranks with the Guess the Next Decibel Hall of Fame for a Free Six-Month Subscription Game. (This game does not lend itself to a kick-ass acronym, although you have to admit that GTNDHOFFAFSMSG sounds like onomatopoeia for masturbating with a crucifix.) Well, next month’s HOF was conducted entirely via email, so no dice on crappy audio clips. (One of many, many reasons to wish Peter Steele were still alive: he’d be the first “first” ID below.)
Anyway, time to audible at the line and debut the Guess the Next Decibel Cover for a Free Decibot T-Shirt Game. We’ve got them in S, M, L and XL —s o there’s a 25 percent chance you’ll fit into one of them. If not, well, there’s always some cute young lady at a show you can pass it along to, who will pretend to get the Nirvana reference, laugh nervously, then wave her two friends over immediately for cigarettes they don’t smoke.
As you can see above, this contest is not entirely random — although multiple sarcastic “Mastodon!” comments are always appreciated. Take a close look at the cutaway from May’s cover star, consider the context, and choose wisely.
