Happy February, all. Everyone here at Nine Circles is sick, bogged down with work, or shutting themselves off from the madness of the world…some of us might even be doing all three of those things. Thank god I can at least revel in a new Dream Theater which despite the naysayers is a thematically consistent return to form, even though I don’t quite get all the love “Dead Asleep” is getting. Maybe you can decide for your yourself since it kicks off the 374th edition of the Nine Circles Playlist.
You know what else came out? New -(16)-, y’all! And a lot of us on staff are over the moon at the announcement of a new Tómarúm album forthcoming. There’s new Revocation and Benediction and Nauseating to whet your death metal appetite, classic Immortal to chase the black metal blues away, and a whole lot more stuff I chucked in there (mainly progressive metal like Teramaze and Lunar) that I guarantee is heavy and full of all the metals, even the ones that’ll turn your skin grey and leave you with weird, uncontrollable powers…
Get listening. Stay safe. See you next week.
