sanhedrin – Nine Circles

The Nine Circles Playlist Vol. 266 (1.14.2023)

January 14, 2023January 14, 2023ChrisLeave a comment

The beginning of the year always rekindles the flame of metal for me. Excitement for what’s coming, for what already has been comes faster, easier. I’m still going through the latest CD and vinyl acquisitions and it’s been pretty much non-stop Celtic Frost (seriously that Danse Macabre box set is killer), Wayfarer, and – thanks to Fearless Editor™ Josh – the new Misþyrming, so let’s kick off the 266th edition of the Nine Circles Playlist with what you can hear if you pass by my place right now.

As per usual the rest of the gang has plenty of the tunes pouring through their speakers for you to get down to (in a total, like, metal way of course). So let music from the likes of Sanhedrin, Black Magnet, Ulthar, Days of Desolation, Moonlight Sorcery, Inherits the Void, Periphery, Night Demon, Sanguisugabogg as well as cuts from Nile, Rotten Sound, Big Black, and a small tribute to guitar legend Jeff Beck (RIP) take you away for the week.

Get listening. Stay safe. See you next week…

CANTO: Nite, Dying Fetus, Ingested, and More

I actually feel like I accomplished something today… weird for a Monday.

Couple tours to highlight today. First we have Dying Fetus and Suicide Silence co-headlining a tour with support from Born of Osiris, Aborted, Sanguisugabogg, and more. Those dates run from April 7 through April 30, and tickets go on sale this coming Friday,
And then Nite announced a tour that had me really excited at first… until I realized it was a hilariously termed California world tour that only includes four dates in February. They’ll be supported by Persekutor. I am extremely jealous of anyone that can make one of these dates. Nite rules.
The last tour that emerged today will feature Ingested, supported by Devourment, Extermination Dismemberment, and Organectomy. Those dates start May 4th in Brooklyn, and wrap up a month later in Cambridge. That lineup is going to be bonkers. Tickets can be found at this link.
We’ll move forward with some German sludge. Obelyskkh revealed the video for the title-track from their new album over at The Obelisk. The Ultimate Grace Of God is out on January 27 through Exile On Mainstream Records.
Finally, a new video from Sanhedrin for “Scythian Women” can be found below. That track is taken from Lights On, which dropped last March through Metal Blade.

CANTO: Suffering Hour, Sanhedrin, Wounded Not Dead, and More

November 23, 2020November 23, 2020CoreyLeave a comment

The gloom has set in. But at least Thanksgiving is this week, that’s still a thing, right?

I’m tired and therefore need to start with something fun and easy. Here’s a clip of Dirk Verbeuren, Steve DiGiorgio, Tom Draper, and Charles Elliot covering “Living Dead” from Entombed A.D.
Suffering Hour are releasing The Cyclic Reckoning via Profound Lore Records next February. You can stream a new track called “Strongholds Of Awakening” right now.
Brooklyn’s Sanhedrin have signed on to a worldwide deal with Metal Blade and are jumping into the studio to record their third full-length, and label debut, sometime early next year.
And we’ll close with some tech death. This is Wounded Not Dead with a new video for “Register of Embodiments”. The Alchemist should be out sometime in January.

CANTO: Rammstein, Cult of Luna, 1349, and More

rammstein band 2017

All kine of dings today.

1349 have unveiled album details and a new single today. The Infernal Pathway will be out on October 18th via Season of Mist and “Enter Cold Void Dreaming” can be heard right now.
Crypt Sermon fans, if you’re in the NYC area, be sure to check out the album release show for The Ruins of Fading Light. The album is tremendous, which is why I’m mentioning this. It’s October 4th and Visigoth, Magic Circle, and Sanhedrin will also be there. Wow.
In case you need to be reminded that Rammstein is all that is, all that was, and all that ever will be… in defiance of the absurd anti-LGBTQ laws in Russia, guitarists Paul Landers and Richard Kruspe shared a kiss on stage during their recent show in Moscow.
Oh how excited I was to see this Cult of Luna news sitting in the inbox today. The new album, A Dawn to Fear, will be out on September 20th via Metal Blade. Better yet, we get this video for “The Silent Man” today.

Initial Descent: February 17 – 23, 2019

By the time this goes to press I’ll be working my way out of the mountains and back into the hustle and bustle. I’ll probably get lost along the way and will, no doubt, be cold but it’ll be worth it. Nature rules, you should try it sometime. Anyway, thanks to these music players / phones / leashes we all have I won’t be without some of this week’s shiny new metal. Long list ahead so let’s get to it…

Ontario’s Minors was recently one of our Profile subjects and we said that their brand of sludge fueled hardcore would “leave jaws planted firmly on floors the world over” on sophomore outing Abject Bodies and we weren’t kidding – take our word for it and buy it. Next up is new music from Primitive Man and Hell which separately would rule by default but to have them on the same album, in Split format, is likely to knock the earth off its axis with their massive combination of death, doom and sludge. Pernicion wreak trve death metal havoc on their EP Seek What They Sought, and Sanhedrin keep the flames of classic heavy metal extremely well stoked on The Poisoner.

What else is up? Read on… Continue reading →
