“I AM SPARTA!”

300, baby. We’ve done 300 editions of the Nine Circles Playlist, and I’m stoked that it falls right when we get a new single from the forthcoming Howling Giant album. Releases have been fast and furious, and the amount of killer music coming as 2023 begins to wind down is mind-boggling. So let’s jump into what this week has to offer.

It’s no secret I have heavy stoner rock and metal, so it’s keen to see Domkraft is back and just as heavy as ever. This week also brings new music from Cryptopsy, Prong, Autarkh, Weald and Woe, and Wayfarer, as well as tracks as disparate as The Gathering, Boltcutter, A Pregnant Light, Venetian Snares and more. Hell, we even got Imperial Triumphant covering Rush!

Get listening. Stay safe. See you next week.
