CANTO: The Devil’s Trade, Varathron, King Diamond, and More

Been listening to a lot of Paradise Lost today. Just thought you should know.

Check out this live performance from The Devil’s Trade for “Dead Sister”, a new track taken from The Call of the Iron Peak. That album is out now through Season of Mist, and I assure you it is quite good.
Varathron are streaming the 30th anniversary live album Glorification Under The Latin Moon a day before it’s release, just in case you were waiting anxiously for that one.
King Diamond will release The Dark Sides on CD and LP formats on October 30th. Originally released in 1988, the collection features five tracks and an outro. You know what to do.
And we’ll tie this up with a new video from Boundaries for “Behind the Bend”. Your Receding Warmth drops on November 13th through Unbeaten Records.

CANTO: Amorphis, Septicflesh, Ulcerate, and More

“Cold embrace is the savior in disguise. Through old age, only danger never dies.”

Amorphis has announced a live stream event in celebration of their 30th anniversary. There will be two performances, on July 3rd and July 4th, and ticket buyers will be able to watch the performance over a 48 hour window.
Septicflesh will be releasing a DVD of “Infernus Sinfonica MMXIX”. That footage is from a performance in Mexico City back in February of 2019. It will be available on July 31st through Season of Mist.
If you appreciate photography, this auction hosted by Nathaniel Shannon, in cooperation with MetalSucks, is worth exploring. It will benefit For The Nomads, a charity organized for touring crews hit hard recently. Definitely an excuse to snag a print of King Diamond, Every Time I Die, or The Black Dahlia Murder.
Ulcerate have dropped one of the best albums in 2020 so far with Stare Into Death And Be Still, so let’s check out this awesome video for “Dissolved Orders” taken from that album (out now on Debemur Morti Productions).

CANTO: King Diamond, Killswitch Engage, Napalm Death, and More

At least I’ve been able to run outside consistently in recent weeks?

This coming Friday (May 15th), King Diamond will be streaming Songs for the Dead: Live at the Fillmore in Philadelphia over on the Knotfest website. That event begins at 2:00 PM EST, so don’t miss it.
Some guidelines have emerged regarding concerts and how to make them a thing again. Surprising to probably nobody, moshing and crowd surfing definitely wouldn’t be a thing going forward it seems.
Napalm Death has teamed up with Decibel Magazine to reissue Time Waits for No Slave, Smear Campaign, Utilitarian, and Apex Predator on vinyl. Pre-orders are available now at this location.
Here’s Killswitch Engage performing an acoustic version of “We Carry On”, recorded in quarantine of course. Definitely a good one to close the day with.

Woops. We didn’t have one of these last week, because writing this up managed to completely slip my mind. My sincere apologies about that. Hopefully our cournucopia of riffs will be enough to land me back in your good graces. Thanks for being patient, and hopefully this gets your Saturday off to a good start.

We’re coming at you a little later than usual today because I’m a goof, but better late than never, right? Welcome back to another edition of the Nine Circles weekly mixtape. Today, we’ve got an extremely full house with respect to staff picks, and quite a diverse set of tunes queued up. There’s a little something for every taste in there today, so without further ado, dive right in. And hey, happy Saturday.
