CANTO: Interesting Times Gang, Abysmal Lord, Exocrine, and More

And now the Acadia countdown is officially on.

  • We’ll start with a new signing announcement over at Season of Mist. French tech death collective Exocrine have joined their roster, fresh off the release of The Hybrid Suns, their fifth full-length. You can stream that here, and get a sense of what’s to come.
  • Over at Hells Headbangers, Abysmal Lord revealed the first track from their upcoming third album. Give “Antisemen of Ceremonial Pseudochrist” a listen here, and prepare for the release of Bestiary of Immortal Hunger before the end of the year.
  • Interesting Times Gang, the solo project of Kowloon Walled City’s Ian Miller, will release The Spirit Of Science Fiction on November 18th through Pax Aeternum. Give “If You Don’t Wanna Play” a listen over on Bandcamp. And pre-order it, obviously.
  • We can end our Monday on more of a punk note. Below is the new music video from Sator for “Brown Eyed Son”. That track is taken from Return of the Barbie-Q-Killers, which dropped earlier this year through Sound Pollution.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”

The Nine Circles Playlist Vol. 228 (4.23.2022)

playlist - mixtape

As I write this it’s a few short hours until the next Record Store Day. I’m not normally the type to burst to my LRS in the dawn light just to snag an overpriced variant, but when you have sweet reissues from Opeth and Voivod, plus the debut of The Lord from Greg Anderson, well…you know I have to set the alarm for that, right?

So yeah…we’re gonna kick off the 228th edition of the Nine Circles Playlist with what you can expect from those heavyweights, but we got more of the concrete coming straight for your head. Anton welcomes new music from Exocrine, Misanthropic Rage, and Ufomammut to the playlist while Josh doubles down on the brutality with Black Braid, Crypticus, Paganizer, Butchers Burial and a killer new track from site favorite Spirit Adrift. Vincent is knee-deep in his Pyrithe review, so he’s serving up some of their music along with Ultha, Orville Peck, and some classic New Order. Ian returns to the playlist with some Kardashev and Gojira, along with a healthy dose of the Pixies and some Planning for Burial. Angela is digging the latest from Tribulation and…wouldn’t you know it? For the first time, so am I! And she also has Mountaineer and Telekinetic Yeti bringing up the rear for this week.

Get listening. Stay safe. See you next week.
