Where does the 376th edition of the Nine Circles Playlist find us? If I’m being honest, with my head buried in the sand (well, snow) trying to shut out pretty much the entire world at the moment, thank you. Still, some things managed to find their way through the ice and flakes. Like the news of Witchcraft returning from the gloomy sad stuff to retro rock our asses off again. And Raven reminding me how great they were and continue to be with a slammin’ new EP. And Mantar! Man I’m digging the weird rock hybrid they’re cooking on their latest album.

Anyway, that’s what I got for you. The rest of the 9C staff is bringing their own toys to the party, like classic tracks from a recently reunited Orchid, more new shit from the killer Spiritworld, some epic Deafheaven to get you ready for the new album, and whatever the hell Dormant Ordeal and Wurmian are…I can’t keep track of everything, much as I’d like to. There’s more, but you’ll have to do some work yourself to find it in the playlist below.

Get listening. Stay safe. See you next week.
