fleshgod apocalypse – Nine Circles

CANTO: Fuath, Dvne, Kankar, and More

I feel like something important happened today…

Kankar have set the release date for their debut through Eisenwald. Dunkle Millenia will be out on March 19th. Check out “Zerfall des Lichts” right now. I’m under the impression that this is going to be a black metal kind of day…
Remember when Fleshgod Apocalypse released that cover of Eiffel 65’s “Blue (Da Ba Dee)”, “Blue (Turns to Red)”? Yes, that was in fact a thing. And, if you want more incredible content like that, here’s a drum paythrough of the track.
A couple more March 19th releases to share today, and the next comes from Dvne. Their sophomore album, Etemen Ænka will be out through Metal Blade Records. A new single, titled “Sì-XIV”, along with pre-order information, is available here.
Fuath, the atmospheric black metal project from Andy Marshall (Saor), revealed that II will also be released on March 19th through Season of Mist. Check out the video for “Prophecies” below. Spoiler alert: it’s really freaking good. Pre-orders are available here.

Busy day out there today!

I woke up to a newsletter from Der Weg einer Freiheit this morning, which is always a good way to start a day. The black metallers out of Germany have signed a fresh contract with Season of Mist, and are preparing a new album for next year.
Cult of Luna shared a new track today, which is equally as exciting. “Three Bridges” is taken from their upcoming new EP, The Raging River, which is out on February 5th through Red Creek, and will be distributed by Metal Blade (in North America).
White Void have signed on to a worldwide deal with Nuclear Blast Records, as they prepare for the release of their debut album. Anti will be out on March 12th, and you can check out a teaser of that album here.
INNO, the dark metal project featuring members of Fleshgod Apocalypse and Hour Of Penance, premiered a new video today for “The Last Sun”. That track is taken from The Rain Under (Time To Kill Records), and you can give it a watch immediately below.

And thus began another week in Hell.

This came through on Friday and I totally missed it, but I’m sharing it now because I’m curious what people think. Ihsahn covered a-ha’s “Manhattan Skyline” with Einar Solberg (Leprous). Any thoughts? Also, a reminder that Pharos is out on September 11th through Candlelight Records.
Looks like we have another 20th anniversary reissue to announce. This time, Belphegor is celebrating Necrodaemon Terrorsathan with a newly remastered version. That drops on November 6th through Nuclear Blast.
Here’s a random drum playthrough from Fleshgod Apocalypse for “Cold As Perfection” because I decided I’m done scrolling through emails today. That particular track was taken from King, if you weren’t already aware.
This latest video from Skeletal Remains for “Dissectasy” seems like an appropriate way to close out the day. The Entombment Of Chaos drops on September 11th through Century Media.

Got some more live stream shows to share today, so let’s get right into it.

Lacuna Coil have announced the “Black Anima: Live From The Apocalypse” event, scheduled for September 11th at 3:00 PM EST. The show will include a full performance of Black Anima, which is pretty dope. Tickets are available here.
And then we have Fleshgod Apocalypse, who are live streaming a full concert of their own from Bloom Studio in Rome. That event takes place on August 1st and tickets can be scooped up at this location.
Pulchra Morte, the death/doom outfit featuring members of Skeletonwitch, Wolvhammer, Eulogy, etc. have been added to the Transcending Obscurity roster. This news also comes with an album announcement, scheduled for a fall release.
And we’ll close with a (relatively) new video from Firing All Cylinders for “Never Broken”, taken from Weaponized, which is out now on Awfully Good Records. Give it a watch if you have a few minutes to spare.

My eyes are burning from staring at screens way too many hours every day and night. Oh well. We fight on.

Migration Fest III has been pushed back to October 15th – 17th, 2021. I respect the decision to avoid festival-type settings this calendar year, and to choose a date far enough out. But, a bummer all the same for obvious reasons.
Trivium released a new song today, “Amongst The Shadows & The Stones”. That one is taken from their upcoming new album, What The Dead Men Say, which drops on April 24th through Roadrunner Records.
Darkest Hour have rescheduled their North American tour in celebration of their 25th anniversary. The new dates are now in December, and still on the west coast. Support includes Misery Signals and Sect.
Fleshgod Apocalypse dropped a new video for “Lacrimosa”, a Mozart cover. I’m all about this stuff. Check it out below.
