An Open Letter to Decibel Magazine
Ok Decibel… I love you guys, but your over-the-top attempts to lure metalheads into buying your magazine have finally crossed the line. As if Kerry King swinging an ax wasn’t bad enough, this month’s cover (September 2009) features the most blatant gimmick I’ve ever seen…
“Win! A Pair of Mastodon Vans!”
What bearded, metal aficionado could possibly resist this sweet temptation?
Wait… What? SHOES?!?
Are you fucking kidding me?
Super Sweet UPDATE! So the new issue of Decibel is out, and our (stern, yet) loving letter is in print. I highly suggest you pick it up, our better yet… subscribe. We have many more angry letters to write.

Maybe they’re giving away a pair of Mastodon TOUR Vans!!
Just need an oil change, an upholstery shampoo, and a few dozen Royal Pine air fresheners…

Is this really what you’re worried about?

Props to Decibel for owning up to their gimmick and printing our gimmick in the upcoming (October 2009) issue. Just send us some free swag and you’ll officially be off the shit list.
