Compared to last week’s short holiday schedule, this week has felt like it’s dragged on forever. Thank whomever it’s Saturday now and you and I both get to enjoy another one of our mixtapes, replete with the best music new and old we all have been listening to. There’s bound to be something good in there for you, so take a beat and dig in.

Maniacs, demons, and real rockers rejoice: another Saturday is upon us. Time to wake up, get fueled up, and dig into our Saturday playlist. If this is the first time you’re here, we put together a list of all the music we’ve been listening to throughout the week to give you a peek behind the curtain into the inner workings of the minds of the people who write for Nine Circles. New, old, heavy, softer, it’s all in there as long as it’s good. Take a gander at the link below and maybe you’ll find something new to soundtrack your weekend with.

Do you still get that rush when you find a new band that just does it for you? Or how about a new album from an old favorite that does the same? Each week these lists offer chances to experience that and this one is no different so let’s get the ball rollin’.
Darkthrone chose to let the fans hear new album Old Star, in its entirety, before anyone so Friday is the day to hear what will surely be the next chapter of black n’ punk that we’ve come to expect, love, and crank as loud as possible. Italian death metallers Fulci return with their second full length Tropical Sun, which is based around the movie Zombi 2, and it’s freaking great and nasty and vile but most of all it’s just wicked good death metal – family fun in the tropical sun. Speaking of wicked good death metal, Nekroí Theoí gets all up in the brutal side of the genre on debut Dead Gods but expect many surprises well beyond just sheer brutality – that’s all I’m giving up, go check it out. And rounding out the top slots this week is Gloryhammer with Legends From Beyond the Galactic Terrorvortex which continues their forward march of damn near single handedly taking power metal to a whole new level.
There you have it but way more awaits immediately below so go find that rush. Continue reading
Welcome back readers. Saturday is upon us once more, and with it comes another of our world famous (ok, maybe not yet) mixtapes for you. The year is only one-third over and we’ve already been graced with a preposterous amount of good music lately, and this week in particular we got the first new track from the upcoming Yellow Eyes album, who are one of my favorite bands in existence, let alone in black metal. That one’s not on Youtube, so you can have that for free. We’ve tried to cram as much of it here as we can; here’s hoping it provides the soundtrack to a kick-ass day for you. Cheers!
