The 393rd edition of the Nine Circles Playlist is in recovery mode. Grief and loss never go away; they just change shape, hopefully in a way you can live with. Again: please take care of and watch out for each other. In other news, although I try to emphasize the extreme here (we ARE a metal blog, after all), holy JEEZ the new video from Jack White. Love it, couldn’t start the playlist without it. I balance that with a vicious cut off the new Malevolence and some fuzzed out stoner metal courtesy of the wonderfully named Margarita Witch Cult.

The 9C staff go their own way, but damn Beloved and Fearless Editor™ Josh is back from vacation and full of the fight, bringing new Revocation and Malthusian in his batch of brutality, while the rest of the group contributes the likes of Darkenhöld, Valdrin, Bask, Marriages, and a lot more.

Get listening. Stay safe. See you next week.
