the devil’s trade – Nine Circles

CANTO: Werewolves, Satan, The Devil’s Trade, and More

It’s Friday, so I’m going to do my best to keep this short and sweet.

We’ll start with Werewolves, who announced details surrounding a new full-length. From the Cave to the Grave is set for a June 24th release through Prosthetic Records. Check out the lyric video for “We Are Better Than You” here.
Dark folk artist The Devil’s Trade shared a clip for “Dreams from the Rot”, from the 2021 Roadburn Redux performance. Worth mentioning, that full performance will be made available come April 15th. Also, if you still don’t have a copy of The Call of the Iron Peak… here ya go.
Inhuman Condition, the project featuring members of Obituary, Deicide, and Venom Inc, unveiled a new single titled “Recycled Hate”. Fearsick, their sophomore effort, will be out on July 15th, and can be pre-ordered over at Bandcamp.
Satan is celebrating the release of Earth Infernal with a new video for “The Blood Ran Deep”, and that’s exactly how we’re going to round out the week. That album dropped today through Metal Blade, and can be purchased here.

Things are ramping up in so many ways. At least I get to go shooting tonight (with a camera… to clarify).

Cerebral Rot and Gravesend have announced a brief run of shows in March near and around my area of the country. The dates run from the 24th through the 27th, with Outer Heaven and Left Cross also along for the ride.
Another handful of bands have been added to the 2022 Roadburn lineup, including the likes of The Devil’s Trade, Terzij de Horde, and Deathsomnia. I’m going to attend this one of these years… it just won’t be this year.
The debut from Astral Tomb, titled Soulgazer, is set for a March 25th release through Blood Harvest Records. Check out the new track, “Traversing the Wandering Star”, right now. Pre-order it while you’re there as well, obviously.
We’ll end Tuesday with the new single and video from Greet Death for “Punishment Existence”. Worth noting, they also have a run of shows coming up in March and April which you should definitely check out.

Last one of the week, before I head out for a long weekend. Also in the mountains, but different mountains. Kind of.

We’ll lead off with Converge, who unveiled the second single from Bloodmoon: I, titled “Coil”, which is streaming over at Decibel. As a reminder, that collaborative new album is set for a November 19th release through Epitaph Records (with vinyl coming next June through Deathwish).
Dark Funeral has announced a new album, their first since 2016’s Where Shadows Forever Reign. Slated for a March 18th release, We Are The Apocalypse will be out through Century Media. In addition, they also have a release show lined up on the 19th with Samael and Eleine, which is pretty awesome.
Prosthetic Records added a new grindcore collective to it’s roster in Elder Devil. To accompany the news, the band shared a full set performed in Chinatown, with the audio available on November 5th for free (NYP, of course).
Redemptor, the Polish death metal crew featuring current and former members of Decapitated, Vader, Hate, Banisher, etc., are dropping a new album, Agonia, on December 3rd through Selfmadegod Records. Check out a new track, “Potion Of The Skies”, right now.
We’re going to close today with Der Weg einer Freiheit, because of course we are. If I wasn’t already anticipating Noktvrn enough, this new track featuring The Devil’s Trade, titled “Immortal”, just took things a step further. It’s an absolute masterpiece. As a reminder, that album is out on November 19th through Season of Mist.

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.
