SO…MUCH…MUSIC! Just when I thought I had my list settled (and mind, you, I do 49 albums for my End of Year list), I start discovering literally dozens of albums I never even heard of…AND THEY ARE ALL KILLERS. So for this, the 314th edition of the Nine Circles Playlist, I’m kicking off with a slew of incredible tracks from albums I had no idea existed until sites started posting their own lists. So get ready for insane cuts from the likes of Triumpher, Begravement, Helms Deep, By Fire & Sword, and Afterbirth. All killer, no filler, I assure you.

The rest of the 9C staff heard a lot more, so check out cuts from Hellripper, Fathomage, new Foscor and Amiensus, Replicant, Atoll, HEALTH, Divide and Dissolve, and the new massive track from the forthcoming Spectral Lore. And a bunch more stuff if you really dig in there.

Get listening. Stay safe. See you next week.
