Fear, Emptiness, Decibel: A Vast Array of Anti-Christmas Awesomeness
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…
Tonight is the biggest (non-douche) drinking night of the year, and for good reason: People want to take a deep breath—and/or gulp of whiskey—before forced interaction with their families, first at the dinner table, then the nearest demilitarized suburban shopping zone. It’s gonna be a rough three days, and an awkward long weekend. It always is.
Before you succumb to hangover-fueled road rage, take a moment to remember that almost everything you need for holiday shopping can be accomplished online, and early. We at Decibel strive to be part of the solution this time of year, so pay attention this extra-black Friday and cyber-metal Monday. There just might be a deal or two to help you make your metal friends’ lives more comfortably morbid.
But we’re a few days away from that. Start by perusing our vast array of anti-Christmas awesomeness: the revised and expanded edition of Choosing Death (one of seven slabs of essential extreme literature in our store), the Top 100 Old-School Metal Albums of All Time issue for all those old heads (read: 35 and above) in your life, Decibel’s 100th Issue Show DVD, featuring live performances from Converge, Pig Destroyer, Repulsion, Municipal Waste, Tombs and Evoken, the Deluxe Edition Flexi Collector’s Box and our sick, brand new Hellhammer-nodding “Only Print Is Real” T-shirt. Only cool dB swag is realer.
