Decibel is an extremely extreme music and entertainment magazine based out of Philadelphia Pennsylvania. Founded in 2004 by a well-intentioned somewhat studious (let?s not forget record-collecting) dude Decibel?s credo was to examine and expose the best extreme music had to offer. We were the new kid on the block but we knew our noise was louder and nastier than anything out there. To quote ourselves Decibel was ?the new noise.? Since our debut issue (the Dillinger Escape Plan October 2004) Decibel went from the quiet longhair with the Entombed "Left Hand Path" T-shirt to the Grand Pontificator of all things metal. Now when we speak people listen. Maybe they heckle. But nearly nine years later Decibel is America?s only monthly metal magazine.
