CANTO: October Tide, Full of Hell, Deicide, and More

CoreyLeave a comment


Remember when we used to call these “quickies”? Well, I have places to be so that kind of applies today.

  • We’ll start with October Tide who premiered the video for “Unprecedented Aggression”. That track is taken from the band’s seventh studio album, The Cancer Pledge, which is available through Agonia Records.
  • Deicide dropped their 13th album today, Banished by Sin, which is out through Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM)… and somehow I missed that one. No matter. To celebrate, a video for the opening track, “From Unknown Heights You Shall Fall”, can be seen here.
  • Of Virtue unveiled some North American headlining dates throughout 2024, which follows a run supporting Imminence. Check out their full touring plans here.
  • Thy Will Be Done released a beast of a new track today titled “Prelude To Apostasy“, and a video for that premiered over at Metal Injection. That’s their first new material in four years so… that’s awesome. Let’s see what comes next.
  • Full of Hell released Coagulated Bliss to the masses today, through Closed Casket Activities, and they marked the occasion with a video for “Fractured Bonds to Mecca”. Give that a watch below and catch them somewhere on the road over the next few weeks.

Morning. Depending on your particular predilections, Happy Record Store Day and/or Happy 4-20, man. I guess it could be both (let’s face it, it’s probably both). I’m sitting both out for now as I get ready for a family outing, but in the meantime there’s this new Alcest everyone is crowing about, not to mention the utter obscene amount of good music that just came out from the likes of Couch Slut, DVNE, and High on Fire, to mention a few of the bands I just received physical copies of (not through the site, but through plain old supporting the artist). Oh, and Julie Christmas is coming back with new madness, so prepare your souls!

Our crackerjack team of 9C writers have their own penchants and partialities to share, including sonic riches from Fractal Generator, Hippotraktor and Celeste; a pair of live in the studio cuts from Marriages and Now, Now; more killer cuts from recent releases by the likes of Hekseblad, Atræ Bilis, and Ingested and a lot more. All that and we’re closing out with the return of the mighty Whores. No doubt that one is going to make a few of our EOY lists (me and Josh, at least).

Get listening. Stay safe. See you next week.

These times sure are strange, and they’re only going to get stranger.

There’s no other way to say it: We’ve got Whores. No, really! One of the best best bands to ever do the noise rock thing are finally back with a new full length in April, and we get a taste now with “Quitter’s Fight Song” to whet the appetite. The fun videos don’t end there, because we’ve also got some serious visual flair courtesy of Ryujin and their debut all over the place metal record. It also wouldn’t be me if I didn’t include the newest single from the forthcoming Judas Priest album. This is the first one that didn’t bowl me over, but given time Halford and co. are sure to take my heart again.

Strap yourself in for the 319th edition of the Nine Circles Playlist.

The 9C staff continues to have your back with new tracks from Sgàile, Vemod, Deicide, and Infant Island; classic hits from Manowar, Blind Guardian, and Mortiis of all people; a double dose of old and new Heavy Temple, and more surprises…maybe even a country tune.

Get listening. Stay safe. See you next week.

The Nine Circles Playlist Vol. 309 (11.11.2023)

Last night I came home to the arrival of the new book about Scott Burns and the massive imprint he left on the overall sound of death metal. I’m already halfway through it, and the nostalgia high I am riding for that period of time is gonna be spread all over this, the 309th edition of the Nine Circles Playlist. So expect a lot of Dan Seagrave (or Michael Whelan) cover art, but first let’s kick off with the latest from neo thrash lords Gama Bomb, whose new album Bats just dropped as well as something from the forthcoming Walking Corpse record, which has been obliterating my stereo of late.

Besides the numerous Scott Burns picks (and we end with a whopper: the mayhem of Assück’s Misery Index in its full 15-minute glory) we have new tracks from Ringarë, Nornír, the collaboration between Full of Hell and Nothing; Cryptosis, Cognizance, and Bipolar Architecture…hell, we even have a track from Molly Hatchet up in here.

Get listening. Stay safe. See you next week.
