The Mighty Decibel

Time for a quick history lesson. In 1982 Tank emerged in the middle of the NWOBHM with a cantankerous, street grimed debut entitled Filth Hounds of Hades ... which just happens to be one of the top releases from that scene. Later that same year they released the critically acclaimed Power of the Hunter, an album that lacked power and was a huge step down in this fan's mind. The band corrected course in 1983 with the war themed This Means War, where the band turned more into a

Welcome to our CLASSIC CONCERTS video series where this episode we capture Ted Nugent's legendary performance at California Jam II. Taken from a couple of different sources (hence the difference in some of the video and audio quality) here we see why The Motorcity Madman was one of the highest grossing acts on the road in the late 70s. "C'mon, c'mon ... I know, you know, everybody's gonzo!!!"

Review by Mark McQueen LILAC A band composed of all five family members. Aged 13-22, this is an impressive feat on its own. Dubbed "the metal Partridge Family", Liliac play a kind of “vamp metal”. First impressions of Liliac singer Melody, I’m thinking Lizzie Hale of Halestorm and that’s not low praise. Strong piercing voice, extensive range and only 20-years old. Drummer Abigail at 21 produces a solid pocket holding the beat, while the rest of the band flows around and throu

Ah, Deep Purple the dinosaur band that refuses to die! Today we curate 40 minutes of the best music from the latter Steve Morse-era. Sure, the material from this period can't be described as their best stuff, but take a listen to this set list and you'll have to agree that the band is still generating some very cool material late in their careers. No Blackmore? Well it's nothing at all! Side One Perpendicular (1996) (0:00) Cascades (I'm Not Your Lover) (4:44) Sometimes I Feel

Our Hard'N'Heavy series of podcasts focuses on new traditional metal and hard rock releases ... along with the odd hard rock'n'roll and melodic punk outing. Basically anything that doesn't fit on our Extreme Metal, Hardcore Punk or Doom series! This edition we focus on May and June 2022 releases. Horns up!

The Mighty Decibel was blown away by Bombardement's Le Future Et La release (our fave hardcore punk album of the year to date), so we had to get together with drummer Luc and vocalist Oriane to find out what makes the French d-beat unit click. You want the best? You got the best ... VIDEO AUDIO

Mark McQueen A good crowd for a Tuesday ... The Forge was packed. The Beard is glad he got a seat. There is a pillar partially blocking the view, but still better than general admission. Especially for GWAR. Johnny however is down in the thick of it. Go get ‘em little man. Just remember it IS GWAR. I got the big man, Greg (The Big Buffet) Hulke (fresh from his stint in the WWE) hanging with me. Kind of like Fezzick from “Princess Bride.” Keep the heathen off me big man. On t

If you're a fan of 70s Rolling Stones and haven't checked out albums by Faces from the same era, you are hereby ordered to listen to this curated set of the best of the band's four album discography. Here, Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood (prior to joining the Stones) get together to generate some old school rock'n'roll done the right way. Listen up and you'll have a real good time.
