CANTO: Warbringer, Artificial Brain, Bizarrekult, and More

September 12, 2022September 12, 2022CoreyLeave a comment

Monday tends to be a slow one. Let’s see if that remains a trend.

Black metal entity Bizarrekult revealed a new single titled “Kongen”, taken from their upcoming new album, Den Tapte Krigen. That one will be out through Season of Mist sometime next year. Additionally, they’ll be supporting Der Weg einer Freiheit on a brief European tour this month.
Pivoting to a little hardcore, Fucked Up released a video for “Oberon”, the title track from their new EP. That one drops on October 7th through Tankcrimes, if you weren’t previously aware.
Couple quick tours to touch on. First, Artificial Brain has a few dates up here in the Northeast with Succomb and Luminous Vault this coming November. In case you missed it, their self-titled third album dropped in July through Profound Lore.
And we’ll wrap up Monday with a little thrash. Warbringer hit the road tomorrow for a run of shows with Heathen and Misfire, and to celebrate the occasion they dropped a new music video for “Crushed Beneath The Tracks”, a track taken from Weapons of Tomorrow, available through Napalm Records. Give it a watch below.

April 18, 2022April 18, 2022CoreyLeave a comment

Coming at you really late tonight because there was just that much going on today.

There were a lot of tour announcements today, so we’ll share a few at random. Up first, we have Crown The Empire, who have announced the 10th anniversary tour for The Fallout. Those U.S. dates cover May 30th through July 3rd, and support is in the form of D.R.U.G.S., The Word Alive, and Before I Wake.
From there, we have a fairly massive tour featuring Anthrax, Black Label Society, and Hatebreed. Those are July and August dates, and tickets go on sale this coming Friday. They can be picked up here, or here.
And the third of three new tours we’ll drop in here features The Acacia Strain, with Malevolence, I AM, and 156/Silence. Those are June and July dates, and tickets will be available here.
Rounding out with a couple non-concert things, we also have a new single from Luminous Vault, titled “Ancient North”. Animate The Emptiness is out next month through Profound Lore.
And finally, a new video from Valley of the Sun, for “Devil I’ve Become”. The Chariot is set for a June 17th release through Ripple Music and Fuzzorama Records, and can be purchased here.

The Nine Circles Playlist Vol. 225 (4.02.2022)

April 2, 2022April 1, 2022ChrisLeave a comment

We’re back, and it feels like Spring is really starting to take a hold. I’ve been re-organizing my vinyl collection the past few days, figuring out just where the hell everything is going to fit and how I’m going to explain to my wife why I need to take over another room before the next stack arrives. First world problems to be sure, but that doesn’t mean I can’t use it to kick off the 225th edition of the Nine Circles Playlist, you know?

We’re gonna kick things off with some of the surprises I’ve discovered the last week, starting with new music from Michael Romeo, who brings the heavy prog I crave from Symphony X on his new solo joint. Anton ups the tech factor with some ripping new Inanimate Existence and follows it up with Luminous Vault and Lustmord collaborating with The Ocean. Josh digs into the dank earth of death metal to give light to Analepsy, Visceral Explosion, and Flesh Configuration before shaking things up a bit with Downcross and Real Steel. Vincent goes wide as usual with the newest single from Devil Master, Tzompantli, Falls of Rauros and deep cut from the Pieces of April soundtrack by Stephin Merrit. Hera returns to the playlist and brings Ibaraki, Ghost, Terzij de Horde, Playgrounded, Sadist, and something I’m assuming is called You May Kiss the Bride? I don’t know..it’s heavy though! Next up is Angela bringing some long awaited new music from Meshuggah as well as Frayle, Amenra, and Bhleg. Once again bringing up rear guard is Buke, and he’s chock full of great stuff, from the new Haunt single to some real old classic Opeth, Morbid Angel, Ripping Corpse, Autopsy, and finally some truly classic prog in the way of the might Emerson, Lake & Palmer.

Get listening. Stay safe. See you next week.

CANTO: Cradle of Filth, Bewitcher, Slaegt, and More

March 21, 2022March 21, 2022CoreyLeave a comment

What a stupidly annoying Monday today was.

We can start with a new tour announcement, featuring Bewitcher and Nite. Those dates out west run through April, kicking off on the 17th in Boise. Tickets can be purchased here.
Danish collective Slaegt unveiled a new lyric video for “Deceived By An Amethyst” (technically Friday, I believe), which you can watch here. That’s a track taken from their new album, Goddess, which is out now through Century Media.
Nighted, the new black metal synthwave duo featuring Ivo Henzi (Cellar Darling, ex-Eluveitie), have released their debut single. “Aeons” is available through Klang Machine Records, with a new album titled Absence on the way as well.
Luminous Vault have a new album coming in the near future. Animate the Emptiness will be out on May 20th through Profound Lore, and “Regeneration” is available for streaming right now.
Why yes, we will close with the new video from Cradle of Filth. Taken from Existence Is Futile, check out the clip for “How Many Tears To Nurture A Rose?” below. That video premiered as part of their “Infernal Vernal Equinox Deadstream”, and now it’s available to everyone, which is cool.
