Anyone else exhausted? As soon as I get over COVID, I get bronchitis. Then I have a colonoscopy. Then the next morning I go in for a calcium scan all before I have to return in 3 weeks for another medical procedure. Being old sucks y’all, and frankly I’m tired. So we’re keeping the 348th edition of the Nine Circles Playlist quick and easy since we have a dearth of folks submitting picks this week anyway. They can’t all be winners, you know?

Taking a quick peek at my music library lately it’s been a lot of the new Fulci album, with liberal doses of stoner gold courtesy of Free Ride, crafted thrash death with Oxygen Destroyer and my beloved Osees who released a killer punk assault with Sorcs 80 that has no guitar. Elsewhere our fearless editor brings the new shit with tracks from 1349 and The Black Dahlia Murder, and we also get some cold black metal from Stormkeep, power from Powerwolf, and more stuff that may or may not be your cup of tea. Only one way to find out…

Get listening. Stay safe. See you next week.
