Let’s face it, the only reason this post happens is because it takes forever to clean out the inbox each day already. Multitasking!

Now this is a tour I hope someone on the Nine Circles team covers. Carcass, with Municipal Waste, Sacred Reich, and Creeping Death. Those North American dates fall (almost entirely) in April. As always, tickets go on sale this coming Friday.
Next up, we have a new video from Orthodox, launched just ahead of their upcoming tour. Give the clip for “Nothing to See” a watch here. That’s a track taken from Learning To Dissolve, which dropped last year through Century Media.
Alright, let’s work in some death metal. Siege Of Power are releasing This Is Tomorrow on February 17 through Metal Blade, and today they unveiled a visualizer for “The Devil’s Grasp”.
Crown Lands are releasing their sophomore album, Fearless, on March 31 through Spinefarm Records. Check out “Starlifter: Fearless Pt. II”, the epic 18-minute opener, right here.
Closing out, we have the hardcore punk project known as Venomous Concept. Below you’ll find the video for “Fractured”. The new album, The Good Ship Lollipop, will be out on February 24 through Decibel Records.

Boston day tomorrow, which means you’re rid of me until Thursday.

Delain have announced details surrounding their next album. Dark Waters will be out on February 10 through Napalm Records, and the first new single, “Beneath”, is available for your listening and viewing pleasure here.
Next up, we have Bury Tomorrow. The Seventh Sun is set for a March 31 release through Music For Nations, and the new video “Boltcutter” can be seen here. Better still, they have a North American headlining tour on the books for next May. Tickets go on sale Friday here.
For those that can’t wait until Friday for the new Hammers of Misfortune, Overtaker is streaming in full over at Decibel. This album probably deserves another listen or two from me. I’ll let you know when I get around to that…
Lastly, we have a new video from Municipal Waste for “Crank The Heat”. I’ve heard Electrified Brain is quite good… I just haven’t gotten around to that one yet. Regardless, their seventh studio album is out now through Nuclear Blast. Here’s the link for that.

Champions League… Work… Champions League… Work…

Morbikon, the blackened death metal trio featuring members of Municipal Waste and Finntroll, are releasing Ov Mournful Twilight through Tankcrimes on October 28th. Give “Cursed to March on Shattered Limbs” over at Decibel.
Allegaeon have announced their new (old) vocalist, welcoming Ezra Haynes back to the group. Since Elements of the Infinite is still my favorite Allegaeon record, I’m fine with this. Catch them on the European road this coming November with Rivers of Nihil, Fallujah, and more.
Power metallers Unleash The Archers are releasing a fifth anniversary edition of Apex on November 18th, which will feature reimagined versions of tracks like “Falls Walls”, which you can hear transformed into “Falsewave” here.
Tribulation unveiled a new standalone single, “Hamartia”, the video for which can be seen below. That’s their first new material since last year’s Where The Gloom Becomes Sound, and precedes their upcoming European tour with Abbath and Watain.

The Nine Circles Playlist Vol. 239 (7.9.2022)

July 9, 2022July 8, 2022ChrisLeave a comment

Friday night. Bourbon. Metal. This is how we do it here at Nine Circles. I’ve been listening nonstop to the new Wormrot record that came out on 7/8. It’s a monster, and they’re probably the best grind band out there right now, in my humble opinion. But before we hit that up I have some internet surprises that hit me in just the right spot…maybe they’ll hit you, too.

Elsewhere Josh has everyone in a frenzy with new music from Psycroptic and Municipal Waste and Trapped In The Morgue…and then slays with a classic cut from one of my favorite Death records. Vincent is up next and he’s serving some new music from Cloud Rat and the new project from the folks in Yellow Eyes called Sunrise Patriot Motion before hitting some old school sounds from Pianos Become The Teeth. Next up is Angela charing the plains with Amon Amarth, followed by some Telekinetic Yeti and The Chasm. Finally Ian returns and lays down some Woods of Desolation, Svalbard, First Fragment and then a whopper of a track from the Violent Femmes because you know you all love “Blister in the Sun” as much as we do. And since we’re a little short today and it’s what I’m currently listening to as I write this there’s a massive jam from Grand Funk Railroad just to shake things up. Make of that what you will – they were featured in an issue of Decibel SO IT COUNTS!
