pantera – Nine Circles

The Nine Circles Playlist Vol. 247 (9.3.2022)

September 3, 2022September 3, 2022ChrisLeave a comment

Big week for big releases. I must have listened to that Megadeth album five more times after writing up my maiden voyage with the album for the site. Now it’s been a steady diet of Blind Guardian, King Buffalo and the Motörhead tribute Whitespade from the guy behind Midnight. The heavy is strong this week, indeed.

But it’s not all about me. The team has some massive tracks to share as well, from bands like Goatwhore, Armed for Apocalypse, some true insanity from Fluids, as well as the latest from Devin Townsend, Wolfbrigade, Escarnium, Crippled Black Phoenix and Cloakroom. Throw in the latest single from All Them Witches, a classic track from Siouxsie and the Banshees as well as Pantera, Moonspell and Killswitch Engage and, well…you got yourself this week’s playlist.

Get listening. Stay safe. See you next week.

CANTO: Spirit Adrift, Meshuggah, Ithaca, and More

February 25, 2022February 25, 2022CoreyLeave a comment

Hey! I officially, and finally, have an order for the latest Stormkeep vinyl locked in!

Starting with Spirit Adrift is always a sound decision. They’re celebrating the 30th anniversary of Pantera’s Vulgar Display of Power with a cover of “Hollow”. Check out the visualizer here.
Ithaca is popular around these parts, so let’s check out their new stuff. The video for “They Fear Us” is available here, the title-track from their new album. That’s out on July 29th through Hassle Records.
Thy Art Is Murder have announced a co-headlining tour with After The Burial, with North American dates running from May 10th through June 18th. Tickets went on sale today, which means this news is probably a couple days old. Oops.
So, I hadn’t listened to Allegaeon in a minute, but I have to say that I am very impressed with Damnum. As such, here’s their new video for “Vermin”, taken from that album, which is out now on Metal Blade.
Adding a little blackened/industrial doom to the pile, we have the new clip from Culted for “Dirt Black Chalice”. That’s taken from their 2019 mini album, Vespertina Synaxis – A Prayer For Union and Emptiness.
And, of course, we’re closing the week with the new (and very impressive) video from Meshuggah for “The Abysmal Eye”. Immutable is out on April 1st through Atomic Fire.

CANTO: New songs from Soilwork and So Hideous, plus updates from Killer Be Killed and Swallow the Sun

I need to start getting ready to get drunk, so I’ll keep this short and sweet.

A bit of a slow day, but let’s start with upcoming album news. Swallow the Sun has been hard at work and is set to release a triple album in November. Triple. That’s ambitious.
Wasting no time after Soulfly’s latest album, Max Cavalera and the rest of the gang in Killer Be Killed are set to start work on a new album. This guy has been working tirelessly for a number of years. How come I don’t really care?
It won’t be long now until The Ride Majestic finally drops. In the meantime, Soilwork are streaming one of the new tracks from their shiny new album. The song is called “Enemies in Fidelity” and it’s wildly… fine.
Today would have been Dimebag Darrell‘s 49th birthday. So let’s honor that with Pantera’s classic “5 Minutes Alone”.
Alright, now chill out to this new So Hideous track called “Yesteryear”.

Isn’t that something? I sure think so. Anyway, that’s enough outta me until tomorrow.

CANTO: Papa Emeritus III, Marshall’s new product line, a new track from Ecstatic Vision, and more!

Happy Thursday! Lots of good stuff today. Just kidding… I haven’t even started looking yet. Huzzah!

Vinnie Paul seems to think this who confederate flag thing is a bit of an overreaction. Yet… Pantera has pulled merch featuring such an image. Fascinating… or not.
Ghost fans, please give me your undivided attention. Here is the official unveiling of Papa Emeritus III. People are excited about this. I’m indifferent.
This is interesting. Marshall, best known for their amps, has emerged into the smartphone market. I’m super curious as to how this is going to play out.
Lamb of God does not plan on playing in the Czech Republic anytime soon. And by anytime soon I mean… ever. Randy Blythe enlightens us to their reasoning. It’s legit.
Finally, here’s a new track from Ecstatic Vision called “Astral Plane”:

Dan mentioned something about new Amorphis… but I can’t find it.

CANTO: God Hating on Rock Am Ring, Apple Music Becoming a Thing, and New Lamb of God!

We have reached yet another week. I am just now realizing that I totally spaced on yesterday’s weekly review and, strangely, I’m not broken up about it in the slightest.

Looks like Rockstar Mayhem tried to book Pantera. As I’m sure you can imagine… it didn’t go all that well.
Apple Music will be available at the end of the month. It’s gonna be about 10 bucks a month like every other fucking streaming service out there. I don’t care.
This is actually insane. Not one, but two lightning bolts struck Rock Am Ring festival in Germany this past weekend. 33 were hurt, it appears all will be fine long term. Still… crazy.
Remember that time Shadows Fall were on hiatus? I sure do… but I might be the only one. The largely forgotten metalcore-ish band announced new show dates for later this year. Whatever.
Oh hey look, a new Lamb of God track. It’s called “512”:
