the devil’s trade – Nine Circles

CANTO: Fire In The Mountains, The Devil’s Trade, Benediction, and More

Hurray! Festival news that is relevant to me!

And that, of course, refers to Fire In The Mountains. A new batch of bands was announced, including Yellow Eyes, Visigoth, Lykotonon, and more. The 2022 version of this festival is going to be absolutely massive. Tickets are available at this location.
Megadeth has named a bassist for the upcoming tour with Lamb of God, Trivium, and Hatebreed. James LoMenzo will be stepping in for that run of shows, after Megadeth parted ways with David Ellefson. Those dates start August 20th in Austin, Texas. Tickets are available here.
Canadian technical death metallers Deviant Process premiered a new song from Nurture, titled “The Hammer of Dogma”. That album is set for an October 15th release through Season of Mist.
I’m going to drop in a couple new videos today, one of which comes from Benediction. Here’s the new video for “Tear Off These Wings”, from their most recent album, Scriptures, which dropped last October through Nuclear Blast.
And lastly, The Devil’s Trade released a new live video for “Három Árva”, a track taken from last year’s The Call of the Iron Peak (Season of Mist). Give it a watch below. It’s awesome.

Been listening to a lot of Paradise Lost today. Just thought you should know.

Check out this live performance from The Devil’s Trade for “Dead Sister”, a new track taken from The Call of the Iron Peak. That album is out now through Season of Mist, and I assure you it is quite good.
Varathron are streaming the 30th anniversary live album Glorification Under The Latin Moon a day before it’s release, just in case you were waiting anxiously for that one.
King Diamond will release The Dark Sides on CD and LP formats on October 30th. Originally released in 1988, the collection features five tracks and an outro. You know what to do.
And we’ll tie this up with a new video from Boundaries for “Behind the Bend”. Your Receding Warmth drops on November 13th through Unbeaten Records.

People. Are. Assholes. That’s the one thing I learned from this past weekend.

Nekrogoblikon are back in the studio recording album number five. I’m glad they are still doing their thing. The goblin always puts me in a good mood. How could it not?
Gojira are teasing something… but what could it be?? Oh for the love of hell please be a new album and please tell me something is coming later this week. I need new Gojira in my life.
The Devil’s Trade have released the title-track from their upcoming new album, The Call of the Iron Peak, which is set for an August 28th release through Season of Mist. Pre-orders are available here.
In case you weren’t aware, Incantation has a new album dropping on August 21st called Sect Of Vile Divinities, through Relapse Records. Today they shared a new video for “Entrails of the Hag Queen”, which you can check out below.
