NYDM Badasses IMMOLATION Comment On Their Appearance At This Year's "Decibel Magazine Tour"

As previously reported, this year Decibel Magazine is doubling down on veteran star power for their second annual national tour. This spring, the plague spreads as Decibel brings you three living legends of Death Metal and Grindcore: the preeminent gore institution Cannibal Corpse; rabble-rousing U.K. grind icons Napalm Death, and NYDM stalwarts Immolation.
Here is what Immolation's bassist/vocalist Ross Dolan had to say about this:

"I can't even articulate how excited we are to be part of this year’s Decibel Magazine tour. This is going to be an amazing tour for all death/grind fans and it will be a great honor to once again share the stage with our longtime friends in CANNIBAL CORPSE and NAPALM DEATH. Both are amazing bands and great people that have been consistently delivering the goods to the fans for over 25 years. It is THE tour of 2013 for extreme Metal, and we expect to see all our friends and fans across North America there to support this killer package. Hail Decibel!!!"

While occultism permeated last spring's inaugural dB tour —featuring exclusively European headliners in Behemoth, Watain, the Devil's Blood and In Solitude—they looked (mostly) to North America for this year's unholy assemblage. Three of Decibel's favorite underground powerhouses will take on this year's rotating opening slot: demented Bay Area death-grinders Cretin, Canadian tech-prog upstarts Beyond Creation and Beltway grind/power violence crushers Magrudergrind. And the time is ripe to see the NEW bleed into the old: three of the six artists performing are expected to have NEW records detonating during the tour.

Here's an early opportunity to score a great deal AND avoid standing in line. Twenty premium packages are available in each market that include your ticket to the show, a tour T-shirt, a tour poster, a super-exclusive "Skip the Line" pass to move you to the front when doors open, one free track, "Scourge of Iron", from the forthcoming Cannibal Corpse box set, 'Dead Human Collection: 25 Years of Death Metal' (3/19), and one 10% off coupon for a purchase on IndieMerchStore.com.

CANNIBAL CORPSE, NAPALM DEATH & IMMOLATION To Be Part Of The Decibel Magazine Tour - Full Agenda Available!

After a bloody successful maiden voyage in 2012, Decibel Magazine is doubling down on veteran star power for their second annual national tour. This spring, the plague spreads as Decibel brings you three living legends of Death Metal and Grindcore: the preeminent gore institution Cannibal Corpse; rabble-rousing U.K. grind icons Napalm Death, and NYDM stalwarts Immolation.

While occultism permeated last spring's inaugural dB tour —featuring exclusively European headliners in Behemoth, Watain, the Devil's Blood and In Solitude—they looked (mostly) to North America for this year's unholy assemblage. Three of Decibel's favorite underground powerhouses will take on this year's rotating opening slot: demented Bay Area death-grinders Cretin, Canadian tech-prog upstarts Beyond Creation and Beltway grind/power violence crushers Magrudergrind. And the time is ripe to see the NEW bleed into the old: three of the six artists performing are expected to have NEW records detonating during the tour.

Cannibal Corpse will be releasing a box set to commemorate their 25th anniversary: 'Dead Human Collection: 25 Years of Death Metal'. The box contains: 

All 12 full length studio albums in a 12 CD foldout case with new artwork, "Torturing and Eviscerating LIVE" on CD and LP Picture Disc recorded in Tampa, FL 2010 / Milwaukee, WI 2012, PLUS: NEW EXCLUSIVE images by VINCE LOCKE, 12" X 12" graphic prints of all 13 original album covers, and a 2013 Cannibal Corpse Calendar. The box will be in stores on March 16th and will be available for pre-order soon, along with the previously announced series of Cannibal Corpse picture discs, HERE.

Kicking off in May, this year's Decibel Magazine Tour gauntlet will last a full week longer than its 2012 counterpart, spanning over 30 North American dates. Presented by Metal Blade, Indiemerchstore.com, Nuclear Blast, Lace Pickups, Century Media and Season of Mist, the 2013 Decibel Magazine Tour will bring together the kind of globally-renowned, boundary-pushing innovators that have made it possible for the magazine to continue thriving for over 100 issues. Coming off a tour noted for Behemoth frontman Nergal's triumphant return to the States following his battle with leukemia—which culminated in an explosive sold-out closing gig in New York City, —Decibel had no choice but to go bigger and even more badass.

"We're psyched to be headlining this year's Decibel Magazine Tour along with Immolation and Napalm Death," says Cannibal Corpse bassist Alex Webster. "This is a lineup of bands that have been a consistent part of the death/grind scene for decades, and we're proud to be a part of it. It will be a legendary night for extreme music."




"Do you remember the Blue Grape Merchandise catalog?" asks Decibel Editor in Chief Albert Mudrian. "How about the Hard N' Heavy Grindcore Video Special? Or purchasing CDs in longboxes? Then this year's Decibel Magazine Tour was assembled for you. See you on the campaign trail for musical destruction."

Feed Your Eyes With NAPALM DEATH's NEW Video For "The Wolf I Feed"!

The leaders of extreme, NAPALM DEATH, recently released their latest effort, 'Utilitarian', and it was hailed as a masterpiece and one of the best albums in the band's history. Now NAPALM DEATH presents, in cooperation with ROCK HARD magazine (Germany), a NEW video clip for the song "The Wolf I Feed". The video was shot by Tim Fox (TESSERACT, SKINDREAD), and it perfectly incorporates the meaning of the song. Singer Mark "Barney" Greenway explains the story behind "The Wolf I Feed": "This is one of Mitch's lyrics. It is about Armageddon ideology and the way this is used to drive populations sensitive towards religious dogma. When they can fear 'The Great Satan', that is of course a very powerful tool. It can be used to propagate everything from racial suspicion and superiority, to wars based around the dogmatic quest for moral purification."

You can watch "The Wolf I Feed" here:
