CANTO: Lizzard, Ellende, Nails, and More


Rainy, dreary Monday. So… ideal running conditions is what I’m saying.

CANTO: Mountaineer, Servant, Yosemite In Black, and More

Oh good. It’s a million degrees outside again. Love that for me.

  • First, a new track from Atlanta hardcore hitters Yosemite In Black. They released a new track from The Pursuit Of, titled “Warmer Weather”. That album drops August 16 through Terminus Hate City.
  • I’m about to go sit on a river beach, and doomgazey stuff feels good for that. Mountaineer are releasing Dawn And All That Follows on July 26 with A Thousand Arms and Dunk!records, and today they offered up “Parallels” from that record.
  • We’ve got an update from the Autarkh camp! A couple of new albums are in the works, one as Autarkh III, and a debut Autarkh Collective album. Interested in learning more and supporting these projects (which will inevitably be amazing)? Check out all the details here.
  • And then we’ve got a new single from Nails. “Give Me The Painkiller” can be streamed here, and as reminder Every Bridge Burning it out August 30 through Nuclear Blast.
  • I’m including this one because of the promo photo. Corpse paint and fire breathing? Cool. Servant are releasing Death Devil Magick on September 20 through AOP Records. Here’s “Litany” to get you started.
  • And we’ll close out (finally) with a video from Italian heavy metallers Black Phantom. Check out “Beast on the Loose” below.

Fun weekend brewery hopping, but damn was I happy to log a good run today.

CANTO: Nails, Warmen, Wolfheart, and More


I wasn’t sure I was ever going to pry myself away from my desk tonight.

  • We’ll start with Nails, who revealed new album details and a refreshed lineup. Every Bridge Burning will be out on August 30 through Nuclear Blast, and it will feature Carlos Cruz (Warbringer), Andrew Solis (Despise You, Apparition), and Shelby Lermo (Ulthar). Give “Imposing Will” a listen here.
  • Mac Sabbath announced a 10 year anniversary tour, which is fun. The dates are all in August, kicking off in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Get the full scoop on their website.
  • Finnish melodic metallers Wolfheart released a new digital single titled “Grave”. That’s the leading single from their new album, Draconian Darkness, which is out on September 6 through Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM).
  • Doom metallers Patriarchs in Black revealed the second track from their next album, Visioning. Give “Welcome to Hell Again” a listen here.
  • Let’s put this Monday on ice and wrap up with the new animated video from Warmen. The clip for “A World of Pain” is below, a track taken from last year’s Here For None. You can pick that album up here if you still need it.

The Nine Circles Playlist Vol. 219 (2.19.2022)

playlist - mixtape

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.
