Before there were blogs there were these things called magazines, and the only metal magazine we still get excited about reading every month is Decibel. Here’s managing editor Andrew Bonazelli…

One would think that, since our meaningless existence is coming to a gory end in two days, we’re merely cementing our shanties in Hell with a new installment of “Guess Next Month’s Decibel Hall of Fame and Win a Six-Month Subscription.” But if you read the fine print of Harold Camping’s totally rational/logical apocalypse theory, you’ll find that May 21 is only the Rapture, leaving—you guessed it—six full months (of horrible earthquakes and vague unspeakable agony) before the universe explodes or some shit. So, provided our editorial staff, printer, distributors and the USPS at large can sidestep Mr. Stay-Puft, this contest will actually be fulfilled! (Plus, we can make my lifelong dream a reality and put Mr. Stay-Puft on the October cover. Or Gozer. Or Rick Moranis.)

Onto the sample. Interestingly, a parallel can be drawn between the album title and this whole endtimes fiasco—well, at least the Ghostbusters version alluded to above. Which had better actually happen. Too much of a hint? Doubt it. Guess away for the very last time. Artist and title FTW.
