THE BEAST

Sample bitters and then some until your tap stops! Because Decibel Magazine Metal & Beer Fest: Los Angeles will return to downtown L.A. on Friday and Saturday, December 10-11, 2021. That's right,  Decibel  - North America's  only  monthly metal magazine - will bring the loudest, heaviest, most extreme craft beer festival to the Belasco in Los Angeles, CA. Metallic hardcore legends  Converge  will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their landmark album  Jane Doe  with an exclusive west coast full performance of the record on Friday night, while fellow New England juggernauts  Cave In  will close out the festivities on Saturday evening with the first-ever performance of their classic debut  Until Your Heart Stops  in its entirety.

If that wasn't enough, recently reunited metallic hardcore gods  Deadguy  will bring their  Fixation on a Coworker  lineup to perform their first California show ever. Phoenix thrash rulers  Sacred Reich  will return to L.A., death metal kings  Hate Eternal  will play their first CA show in six years, grindcore godfathers  Repulsion  will bring blasts from the past, Creepsylvania cannibals  Ghoul  will serve their splatterthrash, while revered thrash punk crew  Early Graves  will perform their final show ever.

The already stacked bill, presented by Century Media Records, will be rounded out by traditional metal-inspired trio  Night Demon , epic doom battalion  Crypt Sermon  (performing their first-ever CA show), Bay area death dealers  Ripped to Shreds , power grind-crushers  AcxDC , Sin City bruisers  Spirit World  and L.A. heavy metal torchbearers  Saber .

Not to be outdone by the bands, the country's most metal breweries will converge in a maelstrom of malt madness! Presenting Brewery Adroit Theory (VA) will join Featured Breweries Wake (IL) and Widowmaker (MA) to lead a murderers' row of brewtality including Burial (NC), Soundgrowler (IL), Three Weavers (CA) and Mikkeller (CA) - with  several  more to be announced soon - all assembling for an unforgettable weekend of suds and thuds.
