[Review] A Few Simple Reasons Why You Have To Go To The 2012 Decibel Magazine Tour

With all the metal tours going on throughout the year, it’s hard to determine which are the ones that are worth your time. After all, you can’t be expected to attend them all, right? Well, BD’s Lauren Taylor just got back from checking out the 2012 Decibel Magazine Tour, which features In Solitude, The Devil’s Blood, Watain, and headliners Behemoth. Check below for her thoughts on the show!

The average fan generally does not receive an epic, theatrical stage show from their favorite musician. Luckily black metal fans are blessed with not only insane music – but amazing visuals to accompany it. Monday, April 16th marked the first show of the Decibel Magazine Tour that Swedish band Watain performed – having been forced to pull out of the first four shows due to delays in obtaining visas. The band is known for a stage emblazoned with candles and rotting, severed animal heads on stakes. Perhaps due to the delays of entering the US, their set was subdued with only skulls and inverted crosses yet their costuming still remained brilliant. Singer Erik Danielsson crept the stage like a zombie on a nautical adventure through hell as they pounded out tuneage.

Headliners Behemoth took the stage with the intense blastbeats of Ov Fire and the Void shortly after. If you’ve never had the pleasure, lead singer Nergal (aka Adam Darkski) – who battled leukemia a few years back and was thankfully saved with a bone marrow transplant – alone is worth the show. He is quite the ominous creature. Picture Pinhead having a love child with a Polish businessman and raising said child in the Thunderdome. I mean that with the utmost respect. He is incredible to look at.

While the music is entertaining in the pitch dark, the theatrics of this genre, again, add an element that everyday Joe cannot comprehend. Fans should rejoice in this gift we are given. I know I did. I honestly had an epiphany of how grand life is during Watain’s epic Waters of Ain. Seeing a sea of individuals in the harmonious union that is black metal. With a mindblowing lineup of Behemoth, Watain, The Devil’s Blood, and In Solitude, the Decibel Magazine Tour of 2012 is not to be missed.

Pictured: Ivanna Sakhno in 'Let It Snow'

Blumhouse is bringing killer doll M3GAN back to the screen in M3GAN 2.0 in 2025, and Deadline reports today that Ivanna Sakhno (Let It Snow, “Ahsoka”) has signed on to star.

Ivanna Sakhno is said to have a “major role” in the upcoming sequel.

The follow-up from Universal and Blumhouse will release in theaters on May 16, 2025.

Allison Williams and Violet McGraw are back for the sequel, with Akela Cooper (Malignant, M3GAN) once again writing the script and James Wan on board to produce.

SPOILER WARNING: M3GAN ends with the titular doll being destroyed, but if there’s one thing we’ve learned from the Child’s Play franchise it’s that killer dolls can never truly be killed!

M3GAN is a marvel of artificial intelligence, a life-like doll programmed to be a child’s greatest companion and a parent’s greatest ally. Designed by brilliant toy-company roboticist Gemma (Get Out’s Allison Williams), M3GAN can listen and watch and learn as she becomes friend and teacher, playmate and protector, for the child she is bonded to.

When Gemma suddenly becomes the caretaker of her orphaned 8-year-old niece, Cady (Violet McGraw, The Haunting of Hill House), Gemma’s unsure and unprepared to be a parent. Under intense pressure at work, Gemma decides to pair her M3GAN prototype with Cady in an attempt to resolve both problems—a decision that will have unimaginable consequences.
