in this moment – Nine Circles

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.

I just went for a run in what felt like the worst conditions possible. Time for a beer.

Lots of tour announcements to get to today, so let’s jump right into it.

We’ll start with Hypocrisy, a band who has alluded me for…ever. They’ll be touring North America in support of Worship in just a few short months. Those dates kick off on April 29th in Brooklyn, and wrap up on May 29th with a performance at MDF. They’ll be supported by Carach Angren, The Agonist, and Hideous Divinity. Purchase tickets here.
In similar news, Animals As Leaders are also touring the U.S. in April in support of Parrhesia. Tickets go on sale this Friday here, and that album is set for a release on March 25th through Sumerian Records.
Slipknot have announced the Knotfest Roadshow 2022. The first leg features In This Moment and Jinjer, with Cypress Hill and Ho99o9 joining the second leg. Basically, the whole thing runs from March through June, and tickets will be available here starting Friday.
Soilwork has announced their new bassist. Rasmus Ehrnborn has officially stepped in full time, after featuring on A Whisp Of The Atlantic and recent live performances. Better still, it looks like we have new Soilwork coming this year.
We’ll close out Tuesday with the new video from Boris for “Beyond Good and Evil”. W is out this coming Friday through Sacred Bones Records.

Not a bad start to a fresh work week.

And all of a sudden, tour alerts are all over the place. We’ll start this week with the news that In This Moment have announced a tour with Black Veil Brides, this September through November. Tickets go on sale this coming Friday, and can be purchased here.
The next tour (out of two, I promise) we’ll announce features Alice Cooper, with special guest Ace Frehley. Those dates are in September and October of this year, with those tickets also going on sale this coming Friday. Here’s the purchase link. Side note, I should probably check out Detroit Stories at same point because… duh.
Vouna, the project featuring multi-instrumentalist Yianna Bekris, has nailed down July 16th as the release date for Atropos. The new album will be out through Profound Lore, and the digital album can be pre-ordered at this location. Check out the first single, “Highest Mountain”, while you’re over there.
This was one of those rare days where I knew what video I wanted to close without having to think about it. This is the latest clip from Auðn for “Vökudraumsins fangi”, the title-track from last year’s album, which was released through Season of Mist.

And on the third day, Corey said “find me a new show to watch and pour me a rye”.

Add In This Moment to the list of bands that had to postpone or cancel a tour. If there is any good news here, however, it’s that it appears another update regarding new dates may be in the near future.
Devin Townsend is working on a “Quarantine Project” (literally named), and dropped the first song from that effort. It’s partly in response/gratitude to his recent GoFundMe campaign to make back some lost touring wages, because, well, Devy is a tremendous human.
In case you needed another excuse to add to your music library, Bandcamp has announced that this coming Friday they are waiving their revenue share on sales. That means all purchase prices go directly to the artist, in full. I have some goodies lined up for the 20th… I hope you do as well.
Hexvessel premiered a new track and video today, which we will absolutely be closing with. The song is called “Phaedra”, taken from Kindred, which drops on April 17th through Svart Records.
