pestilence – Nine Circles

CANTO: Incantation, Bodysnatcher, Pestilence, and More

I ran 11 miles today, and am planning on running 11 less tomorrow.

So I generally can’t stand Metal Injection for a variety of reasons, but I do need to take a second to comment on how awesome the lineup is for the Slay at Home finale. Rotting Christ, Cannabis Corpse, and Black Tusk are only a few of the names I have circled.
Hells Headbangers will be reissuing a couple of Incantation records, including Decimate Christendom (2004) and Primordial Domination (2006). They’ll be available on CD come June 11th, and on cassette for the first time on July 30th. Here’s a link to more information as well as order details.
Florida deathcore crew Bodysnatcher have announced a U.S. headlining tour this fall, and tickets are on sale now here. The dates are in October and November, and support will be in the form of Boundaries, Left To Suffer, and Mouth For War.
And we’ll wrap up the day, and likely the week, with the new video from Pestilence for “Deificvs”. That’s another track taken from Exitivm, which is set for a June 25th release through Agonia Records. Pick it up here, and check out the video below.

Ok, there is a lot to get to today, let’s have at it.

Is anyone else either staying up super late or waking up super early to pre-order the Cinematic Tour 2020 release from Enslaved? I’m going to do my best, because everything I’ve seen to this point looks absolutely incredible.
Behemoth are reissuing one their best works, Evangelion, on vinyl through Metal Blade Records. The official release is June 11th, and there a couple different variants available. Pre-order that one here.
French black metallers Seth have released a new song and video, commemorating the anniversary of the Notre Dame fire, titled “Les Océans du Vide!”. That’s taken from La morsure du Christ, which is out on May 7th through Season of Mist. Check out the video right here.
Bodysnatcher shared a cover of the classic Hatebreed track “Smash Your Enemies”. There’s a limited edition 7″ available here, or you can just check out the visualizer on YouTube.
And that’s enough for Thursday. We’ll close with the brand new video from Pestilence for “Morbvs Propagationem”. That track is taken from Exitivm, which is out on June 25th (Agonia Records).

Now pouring: Stoneface Brewing’s Mozzacalypse DDH double IPA. Forgot how delicious this monster is.

A couple videos to share today, even though it isn’t Friday yet. We’ll start with Crown, because I’ve been listening to The End Of All Things a lot recently. This is the clip for “Violence”, featured over at PopMatters. A reminder that the new album drops on April 16th through Pelagic Records.
Updates from Meshuggah are always noteworthy. They shared today that they have entered Sweetspot Studios to begin recording their ninth album. They’ve also announced the return of Fredrik Thordendal on guitars, who Per Nilsson had be subbed in for previously.
Pestilence have unveiled details about their upcoming new album. Exitivm will be available through Agonia Records on June 25th. Looks like a totally new lineup for this effort, as well. Get all the relevant information, including pre-order details, right here.
Ihsahn announced a livestream event, and I can never get enough Ihsahn, so let’s talk about that. On April 4th, he will be performing Telemark and Pharos in their entirety, with a guest appearance from Einar Solberg. Get your tickets here. I think I’m actually going to make this one!
And lastly, that other video I wanted to share today, which comes from Witherfall. This is the clip for “The Unyielding Grip of Each Passing Day”, taken from Curse of Autumn, which is out now through Century Media Enjoy.

khemmis.2.17.18.14

My body hurts. That’s about all I got for today.

Gamers out there, you might notice that Rotting Christ was featured in the trailer for Mortal Shell, which is set for release on August 18th. Specifically, the track “Χ Ξ Σ (666)” was used, and you can watch the trailer for yourself right here.
Pestilence are hard at work in the studio, recording their ninth studio album. That one will be called Exitivm, and if all goes according to plan will be available later this year through Agonia Records.
Khemmis surfaced again today with a cover of Alice In Chains’ “Down In A Hole”. This was part of the Magnetic Eye Records Dirt [Redux] project. I guess this thing was a long time in the making, so it’s good to see it finally surface.
Sabaton released yet another video from The Great War. This one for “The Attack Of The Dead Men”. Give it a watch immediately below as you celebrate Friday’s Friday in your own special way.

Very happy tomorrow is Friday.

Let’s start with Nightwish, who have announced a new studio album scheduled for an April 10th release. It will be called Human. :II: Nature. and it will be released through Nuclear Blast. Preorders will begin on February 7th, for those interested.
Another update out of Nuclear Blast today includes the likes of Possessed, who have announced a massive North American tour with Pestilence and The Black Moriah. 17 dates on that run starting mid-March. I can’t really justify missing that one.
WVRM have signed on with Prosthetic Records and have revealed details behind their label debut. The album will be called Colony Collapse and it is scheduled for an April 3rd release. Preorders are available now.
Check it. A new video from Black Star Riders for “In The Shadow Of The War Machine”. Another State Of Grace is out now on, you guessed it, Nuclear Blast.
