I’m outta here, folks…that is, I’m heading up North for some family and apple-pickin’ time. So I leave you with the new Dream Theater…a single that frankly is underwhelming after waiting over a decade for Portnoy to come back but who knows? Your mileage may vary. At least I have the devastating crunch of new Undeath to follow it up.

The rest of the 9C crew grabbed their apples a while ago, so they’ve got the rest of the 257th edition of the Nine Circles Playlist covered with the likes of Doedsmaghird, Coheed and Cambria, Touche Amore, Lowen (best album cover of the year?), Ritual Fog, Chat Pile and a whole lot more.

Get listening. Stay safe. See you next week.
