madame germen

Third week in a row where February continues to just pummel us with great music releases. The latest from Australia’s Neptune Power Federation brings the heavy rock and roll swagger my body craves, and then Immolation just wrecks with their signature menacing take on death metal. Good way to kick off the 219th edition of the Nine Circles Playlist, I’d say…

Elsewhere in the ether Vincent slays with some Madame Germen, Battle of Mice and Amenra. Josh shares my joy at the news of new Somali Yacht Club forthcoming, and bridges the old (Dangerous Toys) with the new (Undeath). Ian only has one thing on his mind, and that is the new single from Amon Amarth. Anton is all about Transcending Obscurity this week, bringing both Dischordia and Sisyphean into the playlist. Angela always plays the game hard, and this week is no exception with Health X, Nothing, and Cult of Luna while Buke is always reliable for a wide range of music: this week he throws in Hath, Nuclear Assault, Nails, and ends us with some classic epic prog courtesy of Yes, of all bands.

Get listening. See you next week.

playlist - mixtape

Welcome to another weekend folks. I have relatively little gas in the tank, so to speak, so this Saturday couldn’t possibly come fast enough for me. Whatever sickness wormed its way into my body has been taking its sweet time leaving, so today we’re keeping things short and sweet. You all should know why you’re here, anyway.

Or maybe you don’t. In which case: hi! We put together a playlist of our favorite songs we’ve all been listening to over the past week, just for you, and we do it every Saturday. Check it out below, and check back in next week to see what else we listen to in our free time.

Cheers!
