Another Saturday is here, and with it comes another Nine Circles Saturday morning mixtape. This time, we’ve got the first music video from an album I cannot stop listening to or talking about, Chris drops some Brian David Gilbert in for some levity, and Ian gives us some vintage noise rock. Check it all out below.

If you’ve listened to Kauan before, you’ll know that really processing what you’re hearing on a given record of theirs can be a bit of a tricky proposition. Some bands are quick hitters, while others work better in slow-burn settings. Kauan, however, has excelled consistently in both contexts. They strike the listener immediately with immense, sorrowful beauty, but their work is so rich that fully “unlocking” a song or album of theirs on your first listen, or even your fifth, becomes nearly impossible.

We’ve got a killer opening pair with new Withered and Cryptosis, Insomnium, The Lion’s Daughter (insane new album that is), Wo Fat, Putrefying Cadaverment, Kauan, Dark Tranquillity, and a ton more.

All that and a bunch more in the list below. Dig it.
