horizon ignited – Nine Circles

CANTO: Ihsahn, Katatonia, Heathen, and More

I feel like I got hit by a bus and my favorite Red Wings blog might be shutting down. Terrible day, and fuck Vox Media.

We got Ihsahn updates to share this Friday. The Fascination Street Sessions EP will be out on March 24 through Candlelight Records. Check out “Contorted Monuments” here.
Heathen and Arrival of Autumn are touring North America in March, starting on the 9th in Providence and wrapping up on the 26th in Philly. Here’s the full schedule.
Horizon Ignited released a new single titled “Carry Me”, which was previously only included on the vinyl version of Towards The Dying Lands. Give that a listen here.
I’m currently listening to Sky Void of Stars on vinyl as we speak, so it makes sense to celebrate the release date of Katatonia’s latest with the video for “Opaline”. Give it a watch below. As I mentioned, that album is out now through Napalm Records.

I’m sure there’s a lot more going, but I’m spent. Catch ya next week.

Decent chance this is my last post this week, thanks to some wedding travel. The good news is that there are plenty of notable updates today.

To start, the progressive sludge crew known as Northless have signed on with Translation Loss Records, and have announced their new album. A Path Beyond Grief will be released on July 22nd, and you can check out the title track over at Brooklyn Vegan now.
From there, we’ll jump over to Season of Mist to check out the new track from Stoned Jesus. This one is titled “Porcelain”, the title track from the sludge rock trio’s new album, with a release date still pending.
And then over at Prosthetic, Yatra shared a new single and visualizer for “Reign of Terror”. Check it out over at Distorted Sound. That’s the third single taken from Born into Chaos, which is set for a June 10th release.
Collectively, we think pretty highly of Inexorum, so we should probably include that as well. “Memoriae Sacrum” can be streamed over at Metal Injection. As a reminder, Equinox Vigil is out on June 17th through Gilead Media.
Finally, we’ll close with Horizon Ignited. Below is the new video for “Beyond Your Reach”, the latest single taken from Towards The Dying Lands. That album drops on July 1st through Nuclear Blast.

Alright, one more post this week. And then it’s time to party. And by party, I probably mean nap.

Venom Inc. have announced details surrounding the sophomore album under that moniker. There’s Only Black will be out on September 23rd through Nuclear Blast, and a lyric video for “How Many Can Die” can be viewed here.
And then the biggest news of the day emerged out of Gilead Media. Mizmor and Thou teamed up on a collaborative double album, Myopia. Pre-orders for physical copies of that records are up, but it’s also available digitally now.
White Ward, despite everything going on in Ukraine, are releasing their third album on June 17th, titled False Light. It will be out through Debemur Morti Productions, who teamed up with Metal Injection for the premiere of “Leviathan”.
Septicflesh revealed a new lyric video for “A Desert Throne”. That track is, of course, taken from Modern Primitive, which is out on May 20th through Nuclear Blast.
One more out of Nuclear Blast today. Horizon Ignited unveiled the third single, “Servant”, from Towards The Dying Lands. That album drops on July 1st.
Swiss industrial metallers Samael released a new music video for “Dictate of Transparency”. They limited 7″ is available through Napalm Records, and can be purchased here. And that’s how we will end the week.

Last one of these this week, because apparently I’m flying somewhere tomorrow.

Let’s lead off with some new Wo Fat! The psychedelic doom veterans unveiled an epic new 14-minute single titled “Orphans of the Singe”. Check it out here. That’s taken from their upcoming new album, The Singularity, which drops on May 6th through Ripple Music.
Sharing Enslaved happenings is pretty much automatic these days. Check out the live clip for “Bounded By Allegiance” here. The footage for that Isa track was captured during last year’s streaming event, The Otherwordly Big Band Experience.
We’re also big fans of Falls of Rauros. Key To A Vanishing Future is streaming in full over at Brooklyn Vegan, just in case you couldn’t wait until Friday. That one will be out through Gilead Media.
Recently signed to Nuclear Blast, Horizon Ignited have set July 1st as the release date for their label debut, Towards The Dying Lands. The video for the first single, “Reveries”, can be viewed here.
We’re going to close out the day with The Wraith. The video for “Toil” (from 2019’s Gloom Ballet) has surfaced as a tribute to frontman Davey Bales, who sadly passed away a couple months ago. RIP. Give it a watch below.
