Dear Decibel subscriber,

It’s come to our attention that our printer mistakenly inserted our Mantar flexi disc in deluxe subscriber copies of issue #244 (Feb 2025). The New Skeletal Faces flexi discs that were originally scheduled to be included in the issue, will now be inserted in issue #245 (Mar 2025). We apologize for this mix up, and any inconvenience it may have caused.

Additionally, if you plan to purchase a back issue of #244 or (when it’s eventually available) #245 in the webstore, back issues of #244 with include New Skeletal Faces flexi disc and back issues of #245 will include the Mantar flexi disc as original intended.

Thank you for your patience and continued support of Decibel!
