Decibel brings their excellent Metal and Beer Festival out west as they launch the next edition of the popular event in Los Angeles. Taking place at The Wiltern Theatre on December 1st and 2nd, the fest will feature amazing bands and craft brews galore. Testament will play a special set of classic albums classic The New Order And The Gathering in full, Thomas Gabriel Fischer and Triptykon will perform a special all-Celtic Frost set. Also appearing are Pig Destroyer, Yob, Power Trip, Skeletal Remains, Necrot and Haunt. The next wave of high-profile acts to be announced mid-July.

Testament guitarist Eric Peterson commented:

“I’m sure we’ll see fans travel from all corners of the planet to witness this heavily overdue set! Get your tickets quick! You won’t wanna miss this event. A gathering of the new order is upon us!”

“We are super excited to be working with our friends from Decibel on this year’s Metal & Beer Fest,” says Brian Slagel, CEO of Metal Blade Records, the festival’s presenting sponsor. “It will be a great time and we are honored to again be working with everyone at Decibel magazine.”

The country’s most metal breweries will participate. Flagship breweries Three Floyds (IN), TRVE (CO), Weyerbacher (PA), Brash (TX), Adroit Theory (VA), Burial (NC), Hoof Hearted (OH), Societe (CA), Left Hand Brewing (CO), Phantom Carriage (CA), Hydra Brewing (SD) and Wayfinder (OR) will return while Wake (IL) and Black Sands (CA) will make their first Decibel Metal & Beer Fest pours. And just like when the musicians in the night’s best bands hang out before and after their sets, the metalheads that make these skull-crushing high-gravity beers will be headbanging along during the festivities, ready to toast exclusive samples and, of course, talk metal and beer. ‬
