Of Feather and Bone - Sulfuric Disintegration

So, I slept on Bestial Hymns of Perversion. I was definitely aware of all the hype around it, and it wasn’t like I had anything against it, but I just never got a solid listen in. It should have been the highest priority for me, given that it’s everything I love about death metal, but it just never quite happened. Now I find myself scrambling to catch up to the hype train Of Feather and Bone are currently riding, because Sulphuric Disintegration is about to surpass everything they have done before this point. Don’t make the same mistake I did.

Initial Descent: November 8 – 14, 2020

This constant vortex of uncertainty, pressure, and stress is a bitch. No other way to describe it and I know this is news to literally nobody. But, it’s nice to know we’ve got some cantankerous music this week to avert attention. What, you ask? Hang in there and let’s find out… Of Feather and Bone are sitting on one the most unflinchingly violent death metal albums in recent memory, Machetazo do for gore grind what Carcass did for death metal many years ago and even though it’s a compilation of scattered tracks, this thing is intense, Puteraeon bring a heavy dose of Lovecraft to their maiming buzzsaw of Swedeath, and Novarupta offer an intense and heavy respite of first class post-metal. Do the thing and go support a ton of new music.

The Nine Circles Playlist Vol. 147 (9.19.2020)

September 19, 2020September 18, 2020JoshLeave a comment

Another Saturday and another chance to look behind the veil of what we’ve been jamming recently. Let’s face it, the world is shit right now BUT, shit in, shit out. So, how about we all hit play at the same time and just float away on the ether of the latest from doombringers Pallbearer, or metalcore from Jesus Piece and FINALLY some new Raging Speedhorn. Same can be said for the new Of Feather and Bone joint and a new funeral doom epic from Frowning. All that and some classic 3 Inches of Blood and Power Trip and Vincent drops yet another The Mountain Goats track for good measure. But, that’s only the beginning so hit that play button below and float off somewhere better than where we are at the moment. Happy Saturday.

I can’t tell if I’m hungover from Friday night, Saturday night, or last night. It’s kinda weird.

Six Feet Under dropped a new lyric video for “Zodiac” today. That’s a track taken from the upcoming new album, Nightmares Of The Decomposed, which drops on October 2nd through Metal Blade Records.
Check out this teaser/studio update from Act of Denial. The supergroup is preparing for the release of their debut album, Negative, and have taken this opportunity to tease a new single, “Controlled”, which will be available at the end of this week.
Of Feather and Bone are releasing their third album, Sulfuric Disintegration, on November 13th through Profound Lore. Better yet, they are a streaming a new track called “Entropic Self Immolation” right now.
No idea how I missed this on Friday, but The Ocean dropped a new video for “Pleistocene”. Less than two weeks until the release of Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic | Cenozoic!
