9C audio thing mid-year review

It’s been a hot minute, but the gang returns along with a new intro to celebrate the return of the Nine Circles Audio Thing!  We’re going to get back into the Album of the Month starting with July, but for now Chris returns to the mic for the first time in forever to gather the crew and talk about a few select highlights from the first six months of the year.  Colin, Vince, Ian, Hera and…holy shit, DAN?! Yup, it’s a full crew at the ready and madness is had, whether it’s risking Swiftian armies or generally squealing with delight over some very, very good metal this year.

Variety abounds as the crew gets into it, talking about DödsritInherits the VoidUlcerateChapel of DiseaseJob For A CowboyAlcestPallbearerHamferðAWSThotRyujinAbortedHammer KingLascaille’s ShroudFarsot, and Lord Dying.

No spoilers for the anticipated albums, and only a short tease about the new AOTM format moving forward, but it’s a blast to be back so grab your favorite beverage, put on those headphones and dig in.  See you next month!

  4. […] This is the band’s most melodic album to date, and the field recordings work seamlessly to haunt around the edges of the guitars and drums. Sax makes a beautiful forlorn appearance on “The Thought of Death” and the overall instrumentation helps make Confusion Gate not only one of the best black metal releases of the year, but also one of the best produced – long a critique I’ve had, both for the band and the genre as a whole. But this right here? This is how you do it right. (reviewed in the Jan 2024 catchup here and discussed in the mid-year round-up podcast here) […]
