Is this Thursday going a bit too quietly for you? It sure is for me. Well, let’s change that for the both of us, shall we? We’ve got a new video from Chicago-based doom crew, ÇÖKÜŞ, that should do just that. The band’s debut full-length, An Hour of Lies, won’t be out until later this summer, but we’re pumped to premiere the video for its second single, “Midnight Sun,” here with you today. If you’re feeling in the mood for some old-school, Sabbath or Obsessed flavored heavy doom, click the link below and check it out!

The Nine Circles Playlist Vol. 333 (4.27.2024)

playlist - mixtape

Happy frickin’ Saturday and welcome to the 333rd edition of our weekly mixtape, aka The Nine Circles Playlist. It’s been an insane few weeks release wise so between that and the nearly infinite possibilities of music picks we’ve got a killer playlist for you here this week. I kick things off with 200 Stab Wounds because…hell yea and an acoustic version of a favorite Periphery song of mine. Spoiler here: I do miss Matt Halpern’s presence behind the kit but this track still rules. Elsewhere, our esteemed team of 9C writers have their own favorites to share which include cuts from Hail Spirit Noir, Alcest, YOB, Zeal and Ardor, Zelenaya, Darkthrone, and a ton more.

Get listening. Stay safe. See you next week. Oh, Chris will probably be back next week. He’s off doing metal stuff in case you were wondering.
