dawn of solace – Nine Circles

CANTO: Cloak, Bewitcher, Greylotus, and More

At least it’s finally nice out and stuff. Mondays still suck.

It looks as though Cloak is going to spend most of 2022 on the road, and that is good news for all of us. Following their current run with Acid Witch, they’ll embark on a brief tour with Bewitcher in June and July. No dates near me, unfortunately.
Speaking of Bewitcher, let’s also take this opportunity to recall all the touring they’re doing in the near future. Preceding the tour above, they’ll be on the road with Municipal Waste and Integrity, and then in August they’ll be part of the Vile Ascension Tour with Goatwhore, Incantation, and Caveman Cult. It’s gonna be an epic 2022.
The first of two new videos today comes from Dawn of Solace. The new EP, Notes Of Perdition, is out now through Noble Demon, and the video for “White Noise” can be seen here.
And from there, we’ll wrap up our Monday with the new single and music video from Greylotus for “Chiaroscuro”. Their debut full-length, Dawnfall, will see a July 8th release through The Artisan Era.

Tomorrow is going to be a long one. Anyway, not much to share here but I’m sure we’ll find something.

Most importantly, we’ll lead off with the Wilderun headlining tour, set to kick off on June 2nd in Atlanta, and wrapping up on the 10th in Boston. Tickets are available here. I’m really hoping to get to at least one of those dates. Wilderun rules.
Next up we have The World Without Us, who are releasing a new EP on July 8th, titled Body Forth. Check out the video for “Eden”, premiered by The Circle Pit. Side note: I bet the world without us would be a wonderful, wonderful place.
Hyperspace Metal Festival announced 2023 details, and they don’t suck! The Vancouver festival will feature Exmortus, Striker, Judicator and more, and is set for April 13th through 15th next year. Should be a good time. Here’s the ticket link.
We’ll wrap up our Monday with Dawn Of Solace, who are following up the January release of Flames Of Perdition with a new EP, titled Notes Of Perdition. That drops on May 20th through Noble Demon. Check out the acoustic studio video for “Event Horizon” directly below.

Oh boy! The start of another work week!

Watain and Mayhem are touring North America this coming March. The tour kicks off on the 7th in San Francisco and wraps up on April 3rd in Joliet, and additional support is in the form of Midnight. Watain has also just finished recording their latest full-length, which should drop early next year through Nuclear Blast. Good stuff.
In case you needed a reminder that Dark Funeral is dropping new material in the near future, here’s a bit of a preview for We Are The Apocalypse and its release show. It’s out on March 18th through Century Media, which is the primary takeaway of course.
Oceanhoarse dropped a new lyric video for “Fields of Severed Dreams“, a track taken from Dead Reckoning. That album dropped back on August 20th through Noble Demon, and is available for purchase here.
It’s a pretty light day so we’ll wrap up here with the new video from Dawn Of Solace for “Event Horizon”. Flames of Perdition is out on January 28th, also through Noble Demon.

Third consecutive days in the 90s, and I didn’t skip a single run. Dumb!

Osi and the Jupiter, one of my favorite discoveries in the last couple of years, have set the release date for their fourth album, Stave. That will be out on August 27th through Eisenwald on CD, vinyl, and cassette formats. Check out the new track and video, “Folk of the Woods”, right now. Now where is my pre-order link???
Voyager have announced a new special virtual show which they’ve titled “A Voyage Through Time”. The show will air on Sunday, September 5th, a date that also celebrates the launch of Voyager 1. Tickets can be acquired here, and more details are to follow soon (I hope).
Dawn Of Solace, the solo project of gothic death/doom icon Tuomas Saukkonen, has set November 12th as the release date for Flames of Perdition. The third album under that project will be out through Noble Demon, and can be pre-saved/ordered here.
Iron Maiden covers are entertaining, so I’ll link in this version of “Flight of Icarus” from White Wizzard. The track features regular touring vocalist Mikey Dean Gremio (ex-Cellador), which is a fun fact of sorts.
And we’ll wrap up with the latest fan-created Body Count video for “The Hate Is Real”. That’s the second such version for that track, which is taken from Carnivore (Century Media). Give it a watch below.
