The 449th edition of the Nine Circles Playlist really needed the extra sleep, so please forgive the lateness of this week’s batch of brutality. I don’t know if “brutal” is the first adjective that comes to mind with Galneryus, but I am still very much into their brand of power metal. From there we bring some real old-school flair with classic Cro-Mags before hitting one of my favorite WTF?! records of the year, courtesy of Fire-Toolz.

The 9C crew add their own spices to the playlist pie, including The Ocean, new tracks from faves Wayfarer and QOTSA, followed by crushing devastation courtesy of Bell Witch and Truck Violence. All that and hey: did you know Napalm Death just played NPR’s Tiny Desk concert series? Bless you, Lars G., out there doing the Good Work.

Get listening. Stay safe. See you next week.
