peaceville – Nine Circles

CANTO: Tomb Mold, Horrendous, Darkthrone, and More

Today was one of those days I will not be reflecting positively moving forward.

Add this tour to your plans immediately. Tomb Mold and Horrendous are teaming up for a run in July. In case you missed it, they both released albums that ended up among our 2023 favorites. So yeah. Can’t miss that one. Tickets go on sale Friday.
Darkthrone gave us another taste from It Beckons Us All in the form of a lyric video for “The Bird People Of Nordland”. Somehow that release date is already upon us (well, tomorrow), so go grab it through Peaceville.
Modern metallers Ad Infinitum surprised us with a new track and video today, titled “Outer Space”. They’re touring North America for the first time alongside Kamelot.
Extortionist, who are also on tour for the next month or so, released a new track as well. Check out “When It All Goes Dark”, a single taken from Devoid Of Love & Light. That album drops May 17 through Unique Leader.
And we’ll close out with new Hammerfall. Check out the video for “Hail To The King” below, the first single taken from the upcoming new album Avenge The Fallen. Their 13th studio album arrives on August 9 through Nuclear Blast.

This has been a very weird Friday. But it doesn’t matter now!

Starting with one of my favorites in Ingested, the death metal trio dropped a video for the new single “Endless Machine”, marking the release of The Tide Of Death And Fractured Dreams. That’s out today through Metal Blade.
Wardruna dropped a new track, so we’ll go there next. “Hertan” can be heard, and seen, here. That’s the first taste of a new album, which I’m sure we’ll learn more about soon.
Looks like Orange Goblin are back! A new studio album, Science, Not Fiction, is set for a July 19 release and will be their first through Peaceville. Check out the leading single, “(Not) Rocket Science”, in lyric video form here.
How about some German stoner rock? Transonic Science are releasing Psychobulb on May 3 through Argonauta Records. Check out “Kain & Abel”, and get all the details, here.
And we’ll wrap up with Oceanhoarse, who have a fresh lineup with new bassist Silver Ots, and a new track titled “Killer & The Queen”. The video for that is below.

It was nice enough out for me to drink a beer on the deck after work. Not complaining!

We were talking about it earlier as a group, but I am SO here for this (seemingly) annual Darkthrone release schedule. Next up, we have It Beckons Us All arriving on April 26 through Peaceville. Here’s a trailer for it. Oh, and that album art? Amazing.
Lorna Shore is a thing that I like, so next up we have their playthrough for the “Pain Remains” trilogy. Incredible series of songs from an incredible album, available through Century Media.
Polish black metal outfit Blaze of Perdition are releasing their sixth full-length on April 19 through Metal Blade, titled Upharsin. Get a sense of what’s coming with “W Kwiecie Rozłamu” here.
Yeah, we can a slot in a tour. Volcandra and Micawber are covering a portion of the United States, as well as a date in Montreal, starting in late April and wrapping up in early May. Here’s the actual schedule if you need it.
And I’ll see myself out with some powerviolence. ACxDC are releasing their sophomore effort, G.O.A.T., on April 26 through Prosthetic Records. A visualizer for the lead single, “Thot Police”, can be seen below.

At least I can say hockey season has officially begun in my circle of the universe.

The 10th album from Gnaw Their Tongues, The Cessation of Suffering, drops on November 24 through Consouling Sounds. Check out “Salvation Body” over on Bandcamp. Remember that insane collab they did with Dragged Into Sunlight way back when? That was a good time…
Next up, a new track and clip from Dying Wish titled “Path To Your Grave”. They’re releasing their new album, Symptoms of Survival, on November 3 through SharpTone Records.
Ohio-based metal crew War Curse shared another sample from Confession, titled “The Convoy”. Give that a watch and listen here. Their new album is officially out on October 20 through Metal Blade and Blacklight Media.
Autopsy gave us a taste from their next album, Ashes, Organs, Blood And Crypts, in the form of “Throatsaw”. That collection is set for an October 27 release through Peaceville.
And closing out, we have the new video from Nervosa for “Elements Of Sin”. Jailbreak drops this coming Friday through Napalm Records.
