immolation – Nine Circles

CANTO: Dååth, Origod, Dusk, and More

May 6, 2024May 6, 2024CoreyLeave a comment

I’m currently drafting this post up while sitting on my deck drinking a beer next to my dog. This could be a worse Monday.

Let’s start with some post-core… because I don’t exactly know what that is. Italian project Origod are releasing a new album on May 31 through Argonauta Records, titled Impression. Naturally, they shared a new single, “When They Lock The Door”, along with a video.
Decibel is turning 20 this year, which is pretty crazy, and they’re throwing themselves quite the party. Check out Autopsy, Horrendous, Immolation, and many more on August 31 at the Brooklyn Bowl in Philadelphia.
Next up, some industrial black metal out of Costa Rica. Dusk are releasing Industrie, they’re fifth full-length, on May 30. But if you’ve been following along you already knew that. But today they shared “Industrie VI”, the last offering from that effort.
Time to work in something doomy. Finnish outfit Grain Of Pain have signed on with Noble Demon and unveiled the first single from their debut album. Give “The Moon Lights the Way” a listen here.
“And because I’m me, we’re going to end with the latest new music video from Dååth for “Unwelcome Return”. As a very casual reminder, The Deceivers is out now through Metal Blade… and it’s amazing.

CANTO: Obituary, Tribulation, Enslaved, and More

Hey! I bought concert tickets today! For a show… in August.

Fresh off the release of Dying of Everything, Obituary have announced a North American headlining tour this coming April and May. They’ll be joined by Blood Incantation, Immolation, and Ingrown. So, yeah, a stacked bill for sure. Tickets will be available here.
Enslaved unveiled another track from Heimdal, titled “Forest Dweller”. Check out the video for that one here. As a reminder (which I’m sure you don’t need), their new album drops on March 3rd through Nuclear Blast.
Blackened progressive metallers Dawn of Ouroboros have set April 21st as the release date for Velvet Incandescence, their sophomore full-length. That one will be available through Prosthetic Records, and you can check out the music video for “Rise from Dissolution” over at Knotfest.
Tribulation have revealed details surrounding a new EP, titled Hamartia, which will be out on April 7th through Century Media. With that, a video for a new track titled “Axis Mundi” can be seen below. Worth noting, this is the first composition by new guitarist Joseph Tholl. Personally, I like it. It’s a little different, but not in a bad way.

Nine Circles ov…Albums We Didn’t Get To in 2022

November 29, 2022November 28, 2022Chris2 Comments

It happens like it does every year: things fall through the cracks, promos don’t arrive, or we simply didn’t have the capacity to cover everything we want to cover, let alone everything that comes out in a calendar year. At this point folks are finalizing end of year lists and maybe – just maybe – some of these records will be represented on them, and so some accounting was in order. Or it could just be that we needed some content this week, so I went through my folder of 2022 music and picked nine albums to briefly opine on for this latest edition of Nine Circles ov…

You decide.

Things I didn’t realize I still owned until I started packing… two guitars. Who knew?

Morbid Angel are back, and are celebrating their 40th anniversary with a massive headlining tour next March and April. They’ll be joined by Revocation, Crypta, and either Skeletal Remains or Vitriol. Tickets go on sale this coming Friday.
Next we have Anti-Flag, and their video for “NVREVR”, a track that features Stacey Dee of Bad Cop/Bad Cop. Their new album, Lies They Tell Our Children, drops on January 6 through Spinefarm.
And then we have a couple early full album streams. First up, Mord’A’Stigmata, who unveiled Like Ants and Snakes ahead of it’s November 4 release through Pagan Records.
And secondly we have Black Anvil with Regenesis. Also a November 4 release, through Season of Mist. Additionally, their tour with Cannibal Corpse, Dark Funeral, and Immolation kicks off tomorrow.
Closing out we have a new live video from Thy Catafalque for “Fekete Mezők”. That clip is taken from Mezolit – Live at Fekete Zaj, which will be out on November 25 through Season of Mist.

CANTO: Black Anvil, Lorna Shore, Ingested, and More

Yep, it’s official. My head and heart are still very much in Wyoming.

Leading off with some live dates, we have Lorna Shore hitting the road for the “The Pain Remains Tour” with support from Aborted, Ingested, and more. Those dates are in October and November, with VIP packages going on sale tomorrow, and the usual general admission stuff on Friday.
Speaking of Ingested, they also have a new album dropping on November 4th through Metal Blade titled Ashes Lie Still. Check out the music video for “Shadows in Time” right here.
Belphegor videos are usually something to behold, and this new one for “The Devils” certainly falls into that category. That is, of course, the title-track from their latest album, which is out now through Nuclear Blast.
We’ve waited quite some time for new stuff from Black Anvil, and today we finally have it. So that’s how we’ll end our day. Check out the clip for “Castrum Doloris” below, the first sampling from Regenesis. That album is slated for a November 4th through Season of Mist. They’re also joining Cannibal Corpse, Immolation, and Dark Funeral on the road towards the end of the year, so those dates are worth checking out as well.
