Okay, it is hot. Like, balls hot. Sorry not sorry…at least we all have the 344th edition of the Nine Circles Playlist to tide us over until there’s a break in the heat. Me? I don’t know if I’m making it worse by slamming to the new death of Black Lava or making it cooler with the frigid black metal of Nyktophobia. or just saying screw it and deepening my progressive metal with more from the new Sunburst.

Riding shotgun along the cosmos the 9C staff reaches into the stars with tracks from the likes of Nile, 1349, Lowen, my beloved King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Midwife, Bliss, Dark Tranquillity, and some more prog with Southern Empire among others. It’s a full week so grab a fan and some sweet tea, crank the AC, and rock like the world is ending.

Get listening. Stay safe. See you next week.
