like moths to flames – Nine Circles

CANTO: Unearth, Hangman’s Chair, Veil Of Maya, and More

This Tottenham/Milan Champions League finish is bananas.

Unearth have announced some North American dates with Upon A Burning Body and 156/Silence, kicking off May 4 in Lubbock, Texas. Tickets go on sale this coming Friday. That run, of course, will be in support of The Wretched; The Ruinous, which drops on May 5 through Century Media.
French doom metal project Hangman’s Chair revealed a previously unreleased track from Loner, and as a result it’s now a new single, titled “Spleenwise”. Give it a listen here. That album dropped early in 2022 through Nuclear Blast. Finally, if you happen to be across the Atlantic, they’re on tour with Amenra, Der Weg einer Freiheit, and Igorrr. Which is, frankly, incredible.
Veil Of Maya announced details surrounding their first album in over half a decade. That effort, [m]other, will be out through Sumerian Records on May 12. Check out the brand new track, “Red Fur”, here. They’re also on tour in April and May with Avatar and Orbit Culture.
Let’s make tours a theme today. Currents are on the road with Like Moths to Flames and a few other bands I’m too lazy to type out this coming May and June. Tickets go on sale, you guessed it, this coming Friday. Oh, and The Death We Seek is out May 5 through SharpTone Records.
Alright, it’s time to wrap this up. Here’s some folk metal for ya. Valensorow have a new video for “The Bird and The Bear”, which you can watch below. It’s got puppets. Shorestank is out on April 7.

This week is starting to taper off, and I’m really excited about it.

So this sounds really freaking cool. Sólstafir and Vreid are teaming up for a very unique concert stream, scheduled for October 15th and taking place on the mountaintops of Iceland and Norway. It’s scheduled for 3:00 PM EST, and you can tune in here.
This is a Europe thing I can’t participate in, but for those that can… I’m jealous. Arcturus and Iotunn have a run of shows planned in January and February of next year. Having seen Arcturus live once before, I would love to do that again someday in a not-MDF setting.
Monuments released the first single off of their upcoming new album, the name of which either does not exist yet or I simply can’t find. Anyway, that will be out sometime in 2022, and the clip for “Lavos” can be seen here.
Like Moths to Flames have announced a new EP, Pure Like Porcelain, which will be out on November 5th through UNFD. Check out the new track, “The Preservation of Hate”, right here.
And we’ll wrap up with the new video from Veil of Maya for “Outrun”. That new single is available through Sumerian Records. They’re also on tour throughout October, if you’re interested in that.

Happy Tuesday, everyone. I missed yesterday’s news because work was just that. much. fun.

Let’s start with a tour, because seeing those again still makes me happy. August Burns Red have announced a headlining tour in celebration of the 10th anniversary of Leveler. Those dates are in September and October, with support provided by Fit For A King, Erra, and Like Moths To Flames. Tickets go on sale Friday here, and feel free to pick up a copy of that record here.
Thy Catafalque dropped a new track today, and that’s always something worth sharing. This one is titled “Köszöntsd A Hajnalt”, another track taken from Vadak, which is set for a June 25th release through Season of Mist. Pre-order that record here… if you haven’t already.
The biggest news of the day probably came from Slipknot, who have announced Knotfest Iowa 2021, as well as a return to the studio. Most importantly, that festival is set for September 25th, and will feature the likes of Trivium, Faith No More, Megadeth, and so many more. Get all the details at this location.
The hits just keep coming today. We also got a new track from Zeal & Ardor, titled “Run”. That will be taken from a new, self-titled, album… details of which are still to come.
And we’ll wrap up Tuesday with a new video from Space Chaser, which came with a new album announcement. Give Us Life is set for a July 16th release through Metal Blade Records, and the video for “Remnants of Technology” is immediately below. Enjoy.
