| 1996 - THE YEAR IN HEAVY | 19 Nov 2024 | 00:41:12 | |
1996 - a strange year in metal, as extreme metal took a back seat to other forms of heavy for the first time in the 90s. Lots of hard rock, trad metal, doom, and punk represented instead, making for an eclectic list this listening session.

| TOP 10 ALBUMS OF 2023 | 27 Dec 2023 | 00:12:38 | |
So here we finally are. After naming our Top 10 doom, hardcore punk, hard'n'heavy and extreme metal albums of 2023 over the last four weeks, we finally come down to the big enchillada ... the best albums of 2023 regardless of genre.
Leading the charge this year to these ears were the hardcore punk and hard'n'heavy categories with doom and extreme metal having relatively off years in my opinion. Regardless, you'll find representation of all four of the categories we cover here at The Mighty Decibel in our Top 10 of 2023.
Long live metal!!!! | |||
| 2023 : THE YEAR IN EXTREME METAL | 26 Dec 2023 | 00:55:12 | |
The Mighty Decibel provides you, our fearless listeners, with the soundtrack of extreme metal for 2023.

Are you heavy enough?!

Nicke Anderson certainly has made an impact on the metal/hard rock scene with his forays into death metal with Entombed and heavy ass rock'n'roll with The Hellacopters, so it wasn't a surprise when he decided to dip his toes into doom metal (along with his wife) for the Lucifer outfit. Here The Mighty Decibel shines the light on the band's best tracks over its five release discography (to date) as it has evolved into a trad doom outfit.

| LEGACY BANDS IN THE 2Ks - In 40 Minutes | 07 Nov 2023 | 00:45:44 | |
What's a "legacy band" you ask? It's a unit that made its commercial peak in the 70s/80s who continue to tour &/or issue new releases. This episode we will be focusing on legacy bands that have issued a great album(s) in the 2Ks ... but by-in-large escaped notice.
At The Mighty Decibel, we say it's time to return to the altar. They may be grey, but that doesn't mean that they should be ignored.

| WAR - In 40 Minutes | 24 Oct 2023 | 00:33:54 | |
War (or Total War as they were known later) was a short lived project in the late 90s (that included members of Necrophobic, Abruptum, In Aeturnum and Hypocrisy) that only issued one EP and one full length.
So why do they deserve the In 40 Minutes treatment? Because here we have one of the best (THE best?) vicious black metal bands on this much maligned earth. Sure, Marduk has a more extensive discography, but I would put both of War's releases right up there with Panzer Division Marduk in the "Best Violent Black Metal Album of All Time" category.

| TED NUGENT - Discography Review | 23 Oct 2023 | 00:48:47 | |
It's time to celebrate the recording legacy of one Theodore Anthony Nugent ... the Motorcity Madman, Uncle Ted, the Nuge, Deadly Tedly, Terrible Ted.
You may not agree with his politics, but there's no debating that the man can play the hell out of his Gibson Byrdland. His demand over feedback acoustics and energy levels are unquestionable and in a live setting there are no equals when it comes to guitar showmen.
So come join The Mighty Decibel as we critically assess all 17 of Nugent's solo studio outings, lustily praising some works and outright condemning a few others.
You got to live it up!!! | |||

Onwards we go into 1987 where extreme metal still rules the world of heavy. Tons of thrash representation here, along with a smattering of early death metal, while crossover and hardcore each make an appearance as well.

| AN INTRODUCTION TO ... Southern Rock For Metalheads | 19 Sep 2023 | 00:42:11 | |
Welcome back to our An Introduction To ... series which provides a playlist that we think is representative of the genre/sub-genre in question.
This episode we're delving into the world of southern rock ... specifically of the heavier variety given that we here at The Mighty Decibel prefer our music to singe our ear hair! Take the journey with us from the 70s to current day and hear some of the rowdiest down-home southern cookin' that you'll ever imbibe. Hopefully, this will cause some of you out there to dip your toes further into the joys of the south.
