end – Nine Circles

CANTO: Cruciamentum, End, Fuming Mouth, and More

Back at it after an awesome weekend celebrating even better people.

I Am kick off their tour with Suicide Silence, Chelsea Grin, and PeelingFlesh tonight, so let’s lead off with the video for “Infernal Panther”. It’s got video games and Corpsegrinder… what’s not to love? That’s taken from Eternal Steel, a 2022 release.
End dropped a new video for “Thaw”, material from The Sin of Human Frailty, which is out on October 27 through Closed Casket Activities. They’ve got an upcoming tour as well, kicking off later this month with Full of Hell, Inter Arma, and Wake… dope.
We’re only a few weeks from the next installment in the Fuming Mouth catalog, so here’s the second single from Last Day of Sun, titled “I’ll Find You”. That’s a November 3 release through Nuclear Blast, by the way.
Wrapping up, a new single and video from Cruciamentum. It’s been eight years since they gave us Charnel Passages, and they’re finally following it up on November 24 with Obsidian Refractions, through Profound Lore. Give “Scorn Manifestation” a listen below.

Drafting this super early because I’m only going to get busier after work. Yay!

End are dropping a new album on October 27 through Closed Casket Activities titled The Sin of Human Frailty. Check out the video for the first material from that collection, “Gaping Wounds of Earth”, here.
Personally, I’m only doing this for the new Wolves in the Throne Room. Give “Twin Mouthed Spring” a listen here. Needless to say, it’s incredible. My favorite Cascadian black metallers are dropping an EP on September 29 through Relapse (and Century Media) titled Crypt of Ancestral Knowledge.
A couple from Metal Blade today! Here’s the latest from Harm’s Way, titled “Devour”. Common Suffering is also out on September 29. By the way, the Harm’s War Running Man? Still funny.
Poison Ruïn announced a U.S. tour this coming September into October, which falls around their performance at Gonerfest on September 30 in Memphis.
Primordial are releasing their tenth full-length album on… September 29 through Metal Blade. It’ll be titled How It Ends, and below you can find the video for the new single “Victory Has 1000 Fathers, Defeat Is An Orphan”. My honest reaction? …Whatever.

This week has already been a complete pain in the ass.

Tours. The Black Dahlia Murder has September headlining dates, and they’ll be supported by Chelsea Grin, 200 Stab Wounds, and Gates To Hell. It all wraps up with New England Metal Fest, which I’m happy to see return.
And then we have Full of Hell, with End, Inter Arma, and Wake. Those dates are in October and November, and I would love to get to at least one of these stops if at all possible. Tickets for that one are on sale now.
Oh shit, another one! Horrendous released the second advance single from Ontological Mysterium, titled “Cult of Shaad’oah”. Check out the lyric video for that here. And yes, on top of that they are also touring in July with special guests Penury… but unfortunately that’s over on the other side of the country. Alas.
Wrapping up, Polish metallers Scream Maker with their video for “See the Light”. Give it a watch below. Their new album, Land of Fire, drops on July 14 through Frontiers Music Srl. Alright, I’m outta here. Catch ya tomorrow.

And all of a sudden tomorrow is Friday.

We’ll lead off with Fallujah and their latest offering from Empyrean. The visualizer for “Embrace Oblivion” is available here. As a reminder, their fifth studio album will be out on September 9th through Nuclear Blast.
From there, we also have the latest single taken from Death Siege, the next album in the Hierophant catalog. Give “Crypt of Existence” a listen here. That album drops on August 26th through Season of Mist.
END and Cult Leader are teaming up for a split EP, titled Gather & Mourn. That will be out on September 9th through Closed Casket Activities and Deathwish Inc, and we have two tracks to offer from this today, END’s “Eden Will Drown” and Cult Leader’s “Ataraxis”.
Swedish heavy metallers Trial have set September 2nd as the the release date for Feed The Fire, which will be out through Metal Blade. Check out “Sulphery”, and pre-order that one while you’re over there.
Closing out, we have the title-track from The Great Heathen Army, the upcoming new album from Amon Amarth that I’m sure you were already aware of. Anyway, that’s out on August 5th through Metal Blade Records.

I believe the dust has settled on the misery that has been the last week.

Wake have a run of shows coming up in March with End, Portrayal of Guilt, and Yashira. The tour kicks off on March 3rd in Philadelphia, and wraps up on the 26th. Here’s the full story, for those interested.
Godflesh & Lustmord revealed the first single from The Others (Lustmord Deconstructed). Check out “Ashen” here, and pick up the compilation through Pelagic Records here. There are a ton of awesome names attached to this effort so… have at it.
New Cult of Luna is always worth sharing. Check out “Into the Night”, a track taken from their upcoming new album, The Long Road North. That one drops on February 11th through Metal Blade Records. I know a lot of Nine Circlers have already pre-ordered that one.
Abhoria premiered a new single from their upcoming self-titled new album. Check out the clip for “Sunless” over at Decibel. That album is out on February 4th through Prosthetic Records, and can be purchased here.
Let’s wrap up with the new music video from Celeste for “Le Cœur Noir Charbon”. The avant-garde black metallers are releasing Assassine(s) on January 28th, and you can pre-order that here.
