psycroptic – Nine Circles

CANTO: Magic Circle, Ozzy, Bodom Beer, and More

January 29, 2019January 29, 2019CoreyLeave a comment

I’ve been listening to these In Flames tracks way more than I probably should.

Psycroptic has announced the As The Kingdom Drowns tour with Cannabis Corpse, Gorod, and Micawber. U.S. dates running through April and May.
In another episode of “Metal Bands Making Beer”, Children Of Bodom have revealed that they are partnering with Fat Lizard Brewing Co. to create the Lake Bodom Pre-Prohibition Lager. This is lager that will be brewed with, you guessed it, water from Lake Bodom.
Remember when I said Ozzy postponed some of those European dates? Well, now the whole tour is being rescheduled. That escalated quickly. We obviously hope he gets well soon.
Magic Circle isn’t a name I’ve brought up recently, so I’m more than happy to close with that. Their third LP, Departed Souls, will be out in March via 20 Buck Spin. Let’s check out the new title track.

The Nine Circles Playlist Vol. 62 (01.12.2019)

playlist - mixtape

I’m baaaaaaaack. Thanks to Josh for covering for me while I was away. I spent a great two weeks back in the icy winter of my home, Chicago, IL. I got to spend the holidays with all my family, catch up with some old friends from high school and college, eat and drink myself into oblivion, and watch my California-Born-and-Raised partner’s face light up when some unexpected snow flurries blew in. It was exactly the kind of recharge I needed after the trash fire that was 2018. I feel ready to get back in the saddle again, and what better way to do that than share all the good stuff I and my cohorts have been jamming over our respective holiday-time adventures? Check below for a list of tunes to whip your year into shape.

CANTO: New tour alerts, Rob Zombie’s potential horror-comedy, and more!

September 22, 2015September 22, 2015CoreyLeave a comment

Coming at you super late tonight because I’m a busy human and none of you take priority. In other news, did anyone else see Lewandowski’s ridiculous five goals in nine minutes display today? Holy Christ.

To start, we should probably cover a hot topic across all platforms. That asshat that aggressively raised the cost of AIDS medication also backs a rock label. And the band Nothing wants out. Good on them.
Two of my favorite things, Mila Kunis and Rob Zombie, are set to work on a horror-comedy series. This can only mean good things.
Here’s a tour I won’t be attending. Whitechapel, Psycroptic, and Culture Killer. I absolutely loathe Whitechapel and I have no idea why. I kinda do.
And another one. Bullet for My Valentine and Asking Alexandria. I mean really? Does this actually need to exist?
Finally, how about a heavier new track from Myrkur? This one is called “Den Lille Piges Død (The Little Girl’s Death).”

That should do it for another day. Bye now!

Album Review: Psycroptic – “Psycroptic”

March 12, 2015March 12, 2015joylkmusLeave a comment

I’ve heard the same complaint so many times: people claiming that technical death metal bands often get bogged down playing the most complicated riffs and time signatures possible, rendering the music soulless and boring. Bands like Gorguts, Pyrrhon and Artificial Brain have proven that idea wrong just in the past two years. Those bands perfected a mixture of brutality and intricacy, and were more effective where they converged. On their sixth and self-titled album, Australian quartet Psycroptic strives for that same balance, and occasionally reaches it.

Quickies: Immortal’s “Battles in the Court,” AC/DC Hits No. 3 and more

December 11, 2014CoreyLeave a comment

We’re late with this one, because…snafu? But anyway, it’s Quickies time! Let’s see what we missed in the metal world today:

Oh, boy. Welp, this may not bode well for new Immortal material: Abbath is in a legal battle with Horgh and Demonaz over the rights to the band’s name. Yeesh.
This past week’s album numbers are in and hey! AC/DC hit No. 3 with sales of a little less than 172,000 for Rock or Bust. Which is all well and good until you remember that their last album–2008’s Black Ice–bowed at No. 1 with 784K in its first week.
Former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Jake E. Lee is alleging that Ozzy’s wife/manager Sharon Osbourne scammed him out of royalties during his time with the band in the ’80s. Raise your hand if you’re the slightest bit surprised at these allegations. Anyone?
How’s ex-Judas Priest guitarist K.K. Downing spending his time in retirement? By making perfumes, of course! No, really. I had to check to make sure Axl and the MetalSucks guys weren’t just fucking with us.
And finally, let’s close out with a new video from Psycroptic. Here’s “Echoes to Come”:

Always good to see/hear new stuff from the boys down under. Anyway, that’ll do it for now. Check back tomorrow for Episode 32!
