Nine Circles is a team-run blog dedicated to heavy metal music of all types. The site was born as Horns Up in April 2014 and has established itself as a broad look at the world of metal through news stories, album and concert reviews and much, much more. It’s irreverent, banter-filled coverage of the genre we know and adore. At least, that’s the official line. Really, we’re just a bunch of metal nerds trying our best to lift up this silly genre and share the power of the (still moist) all-mighty riff.
