CANTO: Creeping Death, Ingested, Attila, and More

April 27, 2023April 27, 2023CoreyLeave a comment

Coming at you a little late. Another one of THOSE days.

Creeping Death is supporting Boundless Domain on the road this Summer, with North American dates throughout June and July. Tickets go on sale tomorrow. Their highly anticipated new album is set for a June 16 release through MNRK Heavy.
Attila dropped a new single, “Bite Your Tongue”, if you’re in need of a little metalcore in your day. A visualizer for that one can be seen here. They’ve got some live dates in May coming up as well.
If you can’t wait until tomorrow, Defiled are streaming The Highest Level in full a day early. Give is a listen here. That one is out… will be out… through Season of Mist.
Closing out we have one of my favorites, Ingested, with a new clip for “With Broken Wings”. That track, of course, is taken from Ashes Lie Still, which is out through Metal Blade. Their North American headline tour, where they’ll be joined by Devourment, Extermination Dismemberment, and Organectomy, kicks off next week.

Not too sure what’s so good about this Friday, aside from the fact that I’m back in the 313 in about 12 hours.

Let’s lead off with some funeral doom. Mournful Congregation are dropping The Exuviae Of Gods – Part II on May 26 through 20 Buck Spin. Preorder that, and stream “The Forbidden Abysm” over on Bandcamp.
Tokyo death metal outfit Defiled shared a new track, along with a music video, titled “Red World”. That one is taken from their new album, The Highest Level, which is set for an April 28 release through Season of Mist.
Out of the Prosthetic Records camp, Dawn of Ouroboros unveiled another track from Velvet Incandescence, titled “Testudines”. As a reminder, their sophomore effort is out on April 21.
I’ll see myself out with a couple of Nuclear Blast things. First, Arrival of Autumn released a music video for “Ghosts”, the second single taken from Kingdom Undone. That album is out May 26.
And then, as I depart for a long weekend, we have an offering from Malevolence. Check out the music video for “Waste Of Myself” below, taken from The Aggression Sessions. That collection is out through Nuclear blast on CD and vinyl on July 21. Catch ya Wednesday.

The Nine Circles Playlist Vol. 271 (2.18.2023)

February 18, 2023February 18, 2023ChrisLeave a comment

Change of scenery this morning. I’m up in the mountains, dogs and kids running all over and a most excellent pair of headphones blasting the new Ulthar to block their cries. Oh, and of course some piping hot coffee to wash the previous night’s alcoholic excursions away. If you haven’t heard their double offering of albums the 271st edition of the Nine Circles Playlist will get you right, my friends. Most right (oh, and synergy: while you listen check out our review by the righteous and noble Ian here).

What else do we have on deck this week? How about brand new tracks from The Ocean and Frozen Soul? Or a complete ripper from Cattle Decapitation? Yeah…it’s a killer week and we also have tracks from the likes of Emperor, the great Caladan Brood (get new music out please!), Gorod, Rzen, Rotten Sound, Little Pig, Emma Ruth Rundle, Majesties, not to mention some killer prog from Circle, Teksti-TV 666 and King Crimson, as well as a whole lot more.

Get listening. Stay safe. See you next week…

This probably comes as no surprise, but my preorder for Holocene is already locked and loaded.

Hammerfall have announced a 20-year edition of Crimson Thunder. Pre-order that through Nuclear Blast, and if you have a few minutes, check out the remastered version of “Hearts On Fire” here.
Battle Born revealed details surrounding their new album, Blood, Fire, Magic and Steel. That’s set for a May 12 release through Prosthetic Records, and a video for “Blood and Fire” is available over at Metal.De.
Next, we’ll check out the latest from Bury Tomorrow. The video for “Heretic”, a track that features Loz Taylor, can be seen here. The Seventh Sun is out on March 31 via Music For Nations.
Ukrainian metal band Ignea are dropping their new album, Dreams of Lands Unseen, on April 28 through Napalm Records. The music video for the debut single, “Nomad’s Luck”, can be seen here.
We’ll wrap up with Defiled, who are releasing a new album on April 28 through Season of Mist, titled The Highest Level. Give the clip for the first single, “Off-Limits”, a watch directly below.

CANTO: Defiled, Witherfall, Pyrrhon, and More

And so another week begins!

As tours are being canceled left and right, with a few rescheduled dates only just beginning to surface, I saw this and thought it was cool. Full Body Autopsy are putting on a virtual tour where they will stream six different sets over six different nights in April and May. Honestly, I’m all over this idea.
Pyrrhon have announced a new album set for release on June 26th. It will be called Abscess Time and will be available through Willowtip Records. You can check out a new track called “Another Day in Paradise” over at Decibel.
Witherfall have decided to dabble in the alcohol industry for the creation of the Tempest Red Blend wine. They partnered with California winery, Charlie & Echo, to make this happen. Shipping begins on May 1st and is available to order here.
Finally, Defiled have released a live video for “Centuries”. That footage came from their performance in Tokyo back in January of 2019.
