Too many albums, too few reviewers…that’s the problem with all the metal blogs, not just this one. What do you do? How do you get a sense of what’s out there if you’re only listening to a fraction of what’s getting released? How do you open yourself up to new music? I’ll tell you how: you jump into all the unpicked promos each month and devote a sentence or two giving a sense of what you gleaned from it.

That’s right: we’re back for another round of “The Month That Was…” so enough preambling…let’s dive into this edition of Nine Circles ov… and see what’s been festering in April 2024.

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

April 26, 2024April 26, 2024CoreyLeave 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.

I’m back, back in the New Yo… finish that lyric and tell me who it is. But yea, I’m baaaack and I know you missed me. What? No? Fine. FINE. Kidding of course, but anyway, damn what a few week stretch here of new releases! Holy shitballs! And this week is no exception with a new one from Darkthrone (this makes Chris veeeeery happy), new deathgrind from ACxDC, new stompin’ death metal from Tombstoner, and new extreme from Full of Hell. And there’s more, a TON more so dig in and enjoy all this week has to offer. Don’t forget about that new Whores album that dropped, I guarantee you’ll be seeing that one come up here in these pages several times throughout the year. I could go on and on with stuff that dropped just in April but I won’t and will instead let you get busy here. DO IT.

CANTO: Seth, Six Feet Under, Full of Hell, and More

The mountains sure look awesome this time of day.

From what I understand, the new Six Feet Under is going to be pretty good. So on that note we’ll open with the lyric video for “Ascension”. As a reminder, Killing for Revenge is set for a May 10 release through Metal Blade.
Next up, a tour. Ice Nine Kills and In This Moment have announced the Kiss of Death Tour Part 2, set for August and September, with Avatar and Tx2 in support. General ticket sales open on Friday.
From there we have the latest offering from Full of Hell. Coagulated Bliss arrives on April 26 through Closed Casket Activities, a week from Friday, and today they unveiled a video for the title track.
How about some new gothic metal? Exsomnis released their debut single, “Inertia”, a lyric video of which can be seen here. Good stuff from some familiar faces.
Seth tends to make black metal that I like, so let’s close out with their announcement. La France des Maudits is out on July 14, Bastille Day, through Season of Mist. A video for the leading single, “Et Que Vive le Diable !”, is available below.

CANTO: Dvne, Full of Hell, Vorga, and More

Quality over quantity in the inbox today apparently. Not complaining!

Leading off, new stuff from Dvne. Give the latest single from Voidkind, titled “Abode of the Perfect Soul”, a listen here. That album is out on April 19 through Metal Blade.
Full of Hell dropped a devastating new track titled “Gasping Dust”, which features Ross Dolan of Immolation. That’s taken from their forthcoming new album Coagulated Bliss, out on April 26 through Closed Casket Activities.
Gothic doom collective Tribunal are touring North America in June (mostly) with Mares of Thrace, in support of last year’s debut LP The Weight Of Remembrance. That album was released through 20 Buck Spin.
Next, some Swedish heavy rock. Greenleaf released the first single, “Breathe, Breathe Out”, from their upcoming new album titled The Head & The Habit. That one will arrive on June 21 through Magnetic Eye Records.
And we’ll close out with some sci-fi black metal out of Germany, in the from of Vorga. Check out the clip for “The Sophist” below. Their sophomore release, Beyond the Palest Star, is out this week through Transcending Obscurity.
