carach angren – Nine Circles

CANTO: Khemmis, Rotting Christ, Psychonaut, and More

I am intrigued by the tour announcements that have emerged today.

First off, we have Khemmis on the road with WAKE and Conjurer next April and May. The date closest to me is May 4th, and I leave May 5th for Ireland… but we’ll see what I can pull off. Anyway, tickets go on sale Friday at this location.
And then we have Rotting Christ, Carach Angren, Uada, and Gaerea. Those dates are also in North America, and fall in February and March. This one I should be able to pull off with fewer logistical challenges. Ticket links for each date on that run can be found here.
Pagan metal crew Heidevolk released a new single, along with a music video, titled “Drink met de Goden (Walhalla)”. That’s taken from their upcoming new album, Wederkeer, which is slated for a February 24 release through Napalm Records.
Violate Consensus Reality has been one of my favorite releases in 2022 (more on that in the coming weeks), so today we’re going to close out with the new Psychonaut video for “Hope”. Give it a watch below. That album is out now through Pelagic Records.

Lots of tour announcements to get to today, so let’s jump right into it.

We’ll start with Hypocrisy, a band who has alluded me for…ever. They’ll be touring North America in support of Worship in just a few short months. Those dates kick off on April 29th in Brooklyn, and wrap up on May 29th with a performance at MDF. They’ll be supported by Carach Angren, The Agonist, and Hideous Divinity. Purchase tickets here.
In similar news, Animals As Leaders are also touring the U.S. in April in support of Parrhesia. Tickets go on sale this Friday here, and that album is set for a release on March 25th through Sumerian Records.
Slipknot have announced the Knotfest Roadshow 2022. The first leg features In This Moment and Jinjer, with Cypress Hill and Ho99o9 joining the second leg. Basically, the whole thing runs from March through June, and tickets will be available here starting Friday.
Soilwork has announced their new bassist. Rasmus Ehrnborn has officially stepped in full time, after featuring on A Whisp Of The Atlantic and recent live performances. Better still, it looks like we have new Soilwork coming this year.
We’ll close out Tuesday with the new video from Boris for “Beyond Good and Evil”. W is out this coming Friday through Sacred Bones Records.

Insert witty commentary here.

En Minor have announced an exclusive streaming event live from the historic Orpheum Theater in New Orleans. That event takes place on November 25th, and tickets can be acquired at this location.
Demon Hunter have announced new album plans for 2021, on top of a live streaming event of their own. Songs of Death and Resurrection, an acoustic collection of newly recorded tracks, will be out on March 5th. They’ll be performing it in full on November 20th. Tickets and pre-order options are available now.
Iotunn have signed on to a worldwide deal with Metal Blade Records. Their first full-length, and Metal Blade debut, will be titled Access All Worlds, and is slated for a release in early 2021. Definitely gotta keep an eye out for that one.
Let’s close with a new video from Carach Angren for “Franckensteina Strataemontanus”, the title-track from their latest release. That album dropped back in June through Season of Mist.

WithinTemptation.3.3.19.103

“They spoke of the loneliest shadow, a thousand year old enemy. When man bowed for souls of the new world, a thousand year old legacy.”

Osi and the Jupiter have announced that July 31st will be the release date of the new Appalachia EP through Eisenwald. Needless to say, this is one I will be picking up… and FITM nostalgia is only, like, 10% of the reason.
Carach Angren have released their third new single from their upcoming album, Franckensteina Strataemontanus, which drops on June 26th through Season of Mist. Check out “Operation Compass” right here.
We’ll close with a couple new videos, because that just sounds fun. The first is from Within Temptation, for a new track called “Entertain You”. You can check that out here. Side note, you should be happy that I didn’t work a pun into this bit of news.
And finally, a new lyric video from Green Carnation for “Sentinels”. In case you haven’t checked out Leaves of Yesteryear yet, it’s very good. And it’s out now through Season of Mist.

Dark Tranquillity

Gonna go run for a long time as soon as this is drafted.

Fleshgod Apocalypse have been forced to postpone their upcoming North American tour. The March and April dates, which would have featured a string quartet, are hopefully only going to get pushed out a few months. Time will tell…
Carach Angren have released the first single from the upcoming Franckensteina Strataemontanos. The title of the track is “Monster”, and the lyric video can be seen here. That album drops on May 29th through Season of Mist.
Looks like Dark Tranquillity are in the studio. If this post is any indication, we should have some new material our way in the near future. This is good… it’s been four years since Atoma dropped, which is a bit longer than we normally need to wait between albums. So I’m excited.
Let’s watch the latest video from GosT. This one is for “Dreadfully Pious”, taken from 2019’s Valediction (Century Media). Enjoy.
