boris – Nine Circles

CANTO: Skindred, Toxic Ruin, Cradle of Filth, and More

This week has been quietly gnarly. At least tomorrow is the day before Friday? Is that a weird perspective?

M-Theory Audio have added a new name to their roster. Wisconsin-based death/thrash group Toxic Ruin have signed on and have a new album, Nightmare Eclipse, slated for a release later this year. “Ritual Rebirth” is available for streaming now.
Cradle of Filth shared the title of their 13th studio album today. Existence Is Futile will be out later this year through Nuclear Blast Records. I’ll also use this space to plug their livestream event, which has been moved to May 12th.
Following their 2020 reissues of boris at last -feedbacker- and Absolutego through Third Man Records, Boris are self-releasing live tracks off of each of those albums this coming (Bandcamp) Friday. That’s the first time they will be available digitally, so you know what to do.
Let’s wrap it all up with a new lyric video from Skindred for “It’s A Crime”, which is taken from their upcoming reissue of Roots Rock Riot. That will be available on April, 23rd, so we’re still a couple months out, but you can pre-order it here regardless.

Best of 2020: Chris’s List

If you’re reading this there are two possibilities at play, either of which warrant a hearty congratulations:

It’s the end of the year, and you found the strength, courage and forbearance to get through the infested muck that was 2020. Congratulations! I don’t know what 2021 will bring, but let’s put the future aside for a moment and just revel in survival, and talk about some great music.
It’s an indeterminate time in the future, after the apocalypse, and the collective hive mind has integrated into the data streams and come across this post in a random search string query to ascertain various data points about the distant past. Congratulations! I’m not alive to know what the Time Lords have in mind for the future, but let’s put that aside for a moment and just revel in whatever constitutes life in your existence, and talk about some great music.

Either way, it’s list time… Continue reading →

July was a strange month for music and you are going to feel it in this one boys and girls. I found myself listening to a lot of not-metal in July, and so a good chunk of it has made it into this month’s Third Circle.

rammstein band 2017

This Thursday feels like it should be a Friday.

We’ll start with the new dates Rammstein announced for their North American stadium tour. Unfortunately, my show got canceled. But I guess I can use the refund to pick a different one? …Assuming this new schedule even happens, of course.
So this sounds pretty cool. Vile Creature have announced a choose your own adventure concert experience that will stream on August 14th. Get ready for “Glory! Glory! Live!” right here.
Sylvaine has released a vocal play-through of “Mørklagt”, taken from Atoms Aligned, Coming Undone, which dropped back in 2018. She’s also offering vocal lessons, which is pretty cool.
In case you missed the news, Boris dropped a new album on July 3rd titled, simply, No. Naturally, we’re going to close with the new visualizer for “鏡 -Zerkalo-“. Give it a look below.
