Decibel Metal & Beer Festival: Day 1 at Fillmore Auditorium

Decibel Metal & Beer Festival: Day 1

It’s the darkest, most brutal metal festival on the planet paired with the most metal breweries America has to offer, and it’s descending on Fillmore Auditorium this winter. It’s all the metal your ears want, all the moshpits your body craves, and all the beer you can stomach, all in one day, in one place. 

Explosive lineup

This year’s lineup for Friday, 5 December 2025 features the loudest, heaviest, and most extreme bands known to man - Denver progressive death metal masters Blood Incantation as headliners, noise rock shredders Chat Pile, extreme metal lords The Red Chord slated to play a full set of ‘Clients’ for its 20th anniversary, black metal crucifiers Panopticon set to melt faces with a full set of ‘Autumn Eternal’ in celebration of its 10th anniversary, and all-woman death metal legends, Castrator.

The Most Metal Breweries of North America

The essential thirst-quenchers will be supplied by legends such as 3 Floyds Brewing, Magnanimous Brewing, WarPigs Brewing, Black Sky Brewery, Brimming Horn Meadery, Black Circle Brewing, Brujos Brewing, Zymurgy Brewing, Jukes Ale Works, Hammerheart Brewing, and Ratio Beerworks among others - proof that Denver is the beer capital of the United States.  

Blood Incantation

Headliners and mighty lords of death metal Blood Incantation have been blazing a fiery path in progressive death metal since their formation in 2011, planting the heavy metal flag everywhere they go. Boasting a “psychedelic take on classic death metal,” blending “technicality with tectonic riffs, cavernous vocals, and eerie, Dødsengel-like moments of caustic stillness,” they raise the fists in defiance, ripping through moods, methods, and face-melters like none. They have been hailed as the new wave of metal, their thunderous riffs as iconic, their thick, oppressive sound as trailblazing - and quite frankly, they blast expectations to shreds every single time. 

The Fillmore Auditorium

The Fillmore Auditorium has been bringing earth-shattering music to Denver since 1905, and is hell-bent on continuing this tradition. With the venue’s insane and to-the-minute lighting and sound, unparalleled acoustics, fantastic amenities, and room for up to 3,900 metal fans, you’re in for one hell of a time!
