The Nine Circles Playlist Vol. 218 (2.11.2022)

Thank whatever gods you lay your oblations to, because if we were basing the 218th edition of the Nine Circles Playlist solely on my recent listening history, it would be nothing but the new Zeal & Ardor. I wrote two reviews this week for Nine Circles – for two excellent albums – but the new self-titled release by Manuel Gagneux is something for the ages. For form’s sake I also added new tracks by Vicious Knights and All Them Witches so not to seem too biased.

But that’s just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Anton wants to make sure everyones gets in on Cailleach Calling, Tomarum and Gloson. Josh is going in hard with the latest from Midnight, Kreator and Dark Funeral, but then turns around and reminds you that Blue Murder was a kickass band back in the day. Vincent rolls out some Rolo Tomassi for the second week in a row, sprinkles in some Holy Fawn and ends on another recurring track with some Mitski. Angela can always be counted on to bring something fresh to the proceedings, and she doesn’t disappoint with tracks from Konvent, Greet Death, and the great collaborative album from Pijn and Conjurer. Finally, Buke roars in with some new Mortuary Drape, Vio-lence, Vanum, and Walg.

Get listening. See you next week.

CANTO: Greet Death, Astral Tomb, Cerebral Rot, and More

Things are ramping up in so many ways. At least I get to go shooting tonight (with a camera… to clarify).

  • Cerebral Rot and Gravesend have announced a brief run of shows in March near and around my area of the country. The dates run from the 24th through the 27th, with Outer Heaven and Left Cross also along for the ride.
  • Another handful of bands have been added to the 2022 Roadburn lineup, including the likes of The Devil’s Trade, Terzij de Horde, and Deathsomnia. I’m going to attend this one of these years… it just won’t be this year.
  • The debut from Astral Tomb, titled Soulgazer, is set for a March 25th release through Blood Harvest Records. Check out the new track, “Traversing the Wandering Star”, right now. Pre-order it while you’re there as well, obviously.
  • We’ll end Tuesday with the new single and video from Greet Death for “Punishment Existence”. Worth noting, they also have a run of shows coming up in March and April which you should definitely check out.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
