Decibel has been diversifying itself for years: Decibel tours, Decibel festivals, flexis, podcasts, and books. The magazine is also selling “Decibel versions” of new and reissued albums at its online store.
These albums are all limited edition and are special in some way, for example with a vinyl color variant or an insert from the magazine or as a unique edition. A lot of these versions are categorized as “Decibel exclusives” and sold out besides, so they’re hot items. Below is a list of all of these records by year of release, but head to the store for vinyl and for CD and cassette to find the latest and see what’s still available.

More Decibel coverage:
The Decibel store carries books too, some of which its staff has authored and/or Decibel released on its dB Books. We can recommend a few of these too, such as Extremity Retained: Notes from the Death Metal Underground, to name one.
We have a few photos from the fun and exciting Decibel Magazine Tour from when it hit Philadelphia in 2013, and our pics feature Magrudergrind, Napalm Death, and more. Have a look.
More photos from a Decibel event, this time the 100th issue celebration which was attended by some top people who agreed to be snapped.
