Formed in the mid ‘90s, Finland’s Förgjord are an odd and vicious beast from a scene where nasty oddities are more than permitted, they’re practically required. After garnering some attention with their debut full length in 2008, Ajasta Ikuisuuteen, the then-duo went on to release their critically lauded sophomore album, Sielunvihollinen, all the while eschewing the limelight. Now, in 2017, Förgjord have secured a drummer, are poised to release their third full length to date, and appear to have perfected their bewildering mix of melody and madness, dignity and cacophony, insanity and preeminence. Named after a type of tree considered … Continue reading

As some of the scene gurus in Justin Norton’s 150th issue piece have already mentioned, Decibel Magazine’s aesthetic is both particular and inclusive.  Mainstream, money-grabbing cock rockers (be they male or female) can go suck a fart while we make space for doom/death trailblazers and cassette-only atmospheric black metal releases; at the same time, we will excitedly cover any downcast folk, neoclassical, post-rock, hardcore, dub or progressive blend that tickles our antiestablishment funny boners.  Our admiration for legacy acts falls well short of reverence, preferring human engagement to monolithic legend; our piqued interest in new bands is always meant as … Continue reading

Steve is not gonna … Continue reading
