As per usual, this week’s offerings are slim pickings. And spoiler alert: next week is much the same. BUT, these slim weeks are the ones you miss some great albums if you’re not paying attention. With that said, Christmas week brings us some black metal in the form of Noirsuaire and Black Mold. Black metal and Christmas go together like egg and nog if you catch my drift so dig into the former, get a belly full of the latter and enjoy seeing Krampus over these ashen tunes. Oh, and be sure to watch a Christmas movie…like Die Hard or Lethal Weapon or Terrifier 3. I mean, you know…the classics! Merry Christmas from all of us here at Nine Circles, we appreciate you all.
