Most readers and subscribers do not have the January 2019 issue of Decibel yet. But every year, that doesn't stop someone from obtaining an early copy of our year-end issue and posting our Top 40 Albums of the Year on a number of message boards, blogs and various social media platforms. So, every year, we're forced to beat them to the punch.
So, if you'd prefer remaining in suspense until your copy arrives in the mail, please go here. The rest of you can venture on, but if you'd actually like to read editorial on these releases (for, you know, context), interviews with the artists who rank near and at the top of the list as well as dozens of entertaining contributor conceived year-end Top 5 lists, and a Hall of Fame on Watain's Casus Luciferi, you can grab a copy of the full issue. It comes with a brand new Withered picture flexi disc, too!
