On July 5, Slayer‘s fourth album, South of Heaven, turned 30 years old. And today — juuuuust a bit late, because that’s how we roll here at The Nine Circles Audio Thing — we’re here to celebrate it. Continue reading

CANTO: Darkthrone and Winterfylleth album updates… and more
“…Farewell. May the darkness bind them. No one will remember the pain when we are… Desolate… Unconscious… Lost…”
- Today was hard so I’m going to start with something easy. Like a Jeff Hanneman inspired coffee table for… probably a lot of money. But hey, it looks like an amp, so that’s fun.
- We talked about this on the Podcast, and now I’m going to dark about it here because we have more info. Darkthrone is set to release their latest album, Arctic Thunder, in October. That’s a reason to get excited.
- More album news! This time Winterfylleth gives us a release date. The Dark Hereafter will be out on September 30th.
- Rough summer for Ozzy, who is now being sued by Bob Daisley. Looks like it’s for unpaid royalties. Things could be better. But also worse, I suppose. Gotta keep perspective. Or something.
- Valient Thorr has a video out for “Looking Glass”. Feel free to check it out below. Or don’t. I’ll never know either way.

CANTO: Tour announcements, updates from Agoraphobic Nosebleed, and more
Hi there. Face here.
- Let’s start with a tour! Napalm Death, Melvins, Melt Banana. That’s a beast of a list. They’ll be hitting just about everywhere starting at the end of March.
- A handful of Jeff Hanneman’s guitars have found a home. Broken Hope‘s Jeremy Wagner bought four from Kathryn and will be using them on his second album, currently in production.
- Agoraphobic Nosebleed has been especially busy in 2015. They’ll continue that trend in 2016 with the release of a new EP titled Arc. I guess they’ll be reissuing some stuff later in the year as well.
- How about one more tour? Royal Thunder and Black Tusk. They’ll be hitting the southeast United States starting in late January.
- Anybody remember Old Funeral? Well, the Abbath fronted death metal group reunited for a festival in Norway. Ok, so it definitely was the original members, but Abbath is still there!

CANTO: Red Fang lines up a tour, Hanneman’s guitars go on sale, and A7X loses a drummer
Hey, there’s only one more day this week. That’s super exciting to me.
- Since it’s Thursday, I GUESS we can start with album sales from the past week. Between the Buried and Me with a strong showing… but that’s pretty much it.
- Avenged Sevenfold have parted ways with drummer Arin Ilejay. The most interesting thing about this bit of news is the fact that I haven’t listened to anything by this band in multiple years.
- This is good fun. Red Fang have announced a tour set to kick off this October. Unfortunately, they won’t be coming anywhere near me. Such is life.
- Three of Jeff Hanneman’s guitars are up for auction. As incredibly cool as it would be to own one of these… I do not have a slim 12K lying around with no use.
- How about a really cool new Kataklysm video for “Breaching the Asylum?”
I actually really dig this track. It’s fun.

Quickies: Carcass, Nergal, Slayer, and Mortal Kombat!
It’s Friday! Let’s get this shit done so I can start drinking!
- Well. This was hardly expected. Nergal has released a few bits of his solo work. It is very different, but I’m ok with it. But then again… I’m ok with anything Nergal does.
- The latest band to bitch about the record industry is Unlocking the Truth. Please please please keep in mind that these guys are in, what, eighth grade?
- Carcass has been been from Malaysia due to their lyrics. I mean, should this actually matter? Does market demand mean nothing to some of these nations? Whatever.
- Need a reason to think about investing in the upcoming new Slayer album? According to Tom Araya, it’ll feature Jeff Hanneman’s presence on a track. It’s enough to keep my curiosity for the time being.
- You know what I really like? Mortal Kombat. I also like System of a Down. So this is a really good day. Here’s the Mortal Kombat X TV spot directed by Shavo:
I really, really want to own this game. Anyway, that’s it. Let’s get drunk.
