Tickets for the Decibel Magazine Tour 2026 are moving fast, with multiple dates approaching sold-out status — a testament to what industry observers are calling one of the strongest Decibel Tour lineups in recent years. Canadian tech-death legends CRYPTOPSY headline the 21-date run celebrating the 30th anniversary of their seminal 1996 album "None So Vile," widely regarded as one of the greatest and most technically demanding death metal albums ever recorded.
"None So Vile" will be performed in its entirety each night, marking a rare opportunity for fans to experience the album live from start to finish. The record — featuring iconic tracks like "Crown of Horns," "Slit Your Guts," and "Benedictine Convulsions" — rewrote the rules for technical death metal upon its release and has influenced countless bands from ORIGIN to ARCHSPIRE. CRYPTOPSY vocalist Matt McGahy has been with the band since 2007 and has proven himself a formidable interpreter of original vocalist Lord Worm's inhuman vocal patterns.
Support comes from NECROT, the Oakland death metal trio whose old-school approach has made them one of the genre's most respected modern acts; FULCI, the Italian death metallers named after horror director Lucio Fulci; and BLOOD MONOLITH, a rising force in the extreme metal underground. The tour runs April 30 through May 28, hitting cities from Worcester, MA to Montreal, QC — fittingly ending in CRYPTOPSY's hometown. The Decibel Magazine Tour has been an annual institution in extreme metal since its inception, consistently delivering curated lineups that balance legendary acts with emerging talent. CRYPTOPSY also graced the cover of Decibel for the announcement, with their 2025 album "An Insatiable Violence" having already charted at number six on the Billboard Hard Music chart.
