Welcome to the Decibel Boost Podcast album roundup for the months of April 2026. This past April was another one of those months where, while the release calendar definitely had a lot going, the amount of release with personal significance to the crew were still somewhat scattershot (although May promises to have more going on for us all). First: Alex chimes in on collaborative releases from the likes of Melvins and Napalm Death, Nine Inch Nails and Boyz Noize, as well as the latest release from Foo Fighters. Next: Mark discusses Thundercat’s return after 6 years alongside the newest projects from Jessie Ware and Kehlani. Finally: Robert discusses the rising Canadian costumed duo Angine De Poitrine, the new posthumous release from At The Gates, and more!
Your hosts this month are Robert (@RobBarracuda), Alex (@xandersthoughts), and Mark (@MAK2HybridMedia). Subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts.
