CANTO: Meshuggah, U.D.O., Dreariness, and More

CoreyLeave a comment

Brace yourselves, the tour postponements are coming.

  • Starting with Meshuggah, who have rescheduled their 2022 U.S. headlining tour. This wasn’t too bad, however, as the dates now fall in September and October. Already have a ticket for the original dates? That’s still valid, so have at it.
  • German heavy metal icons U.D.O. have signed on with Atomic Fire Records, with plans for a special album release in the first half of 2022. We will, of course, keep you posted as details continue to surface in the months ahead.
  • My Kingdom Music has also announced a new signing. Dreariness have joined the roster, as they prepare for the release of Before We Vanish. Their new album is slated for an April 15th release on CD/digital, with a vinyl offering scheduled a few months later.
  • And we’ll wrap up with the new video from Everlust for “Alone”. That’s a track taken from Diary of Existence, which is out through Wormholedeath worldwide.

I have run out of beer. That is the biggest problem I face today.

  • Much like yesterday, we’ll start today with a new tour. Meshuggah have announced a 2022 tour with Converge and Torche. That is an absolutely massive bill. The dates are in February and March, with things kicking off in Silver Spring, Maryland. Tickets go on sale July 2nd and can be acquired here.
  • Finnish death doom masters Swallow The Sun have announced a new live album, 20 Years Of Gloom, Beauty and Despair – Live in Helsinki. The first live track and video, for “Don’t Fall Asleep (Horror, Pt. II) [Live in Helsinki]”, can be viewed here. That album drops on July 30th through Century Media.
  • Krossfyre have set the release date for their Hells Headbangers debut. Rites of Extermination will be out on July 23rd, on CD format, with a vinyl release planned for later this year. Pre-order that beast at this location.
  • We’ll wrap Tuesday up with the new video from Armored Saint for “Lone Wolf”. That track is taken from their latest release, Punching The Sky, which dropped last October through Metal Blade. Side note: they also dropped some slick new merch you can grab here. Enjoy that clip below.

The Third Circle of Bandcamp: Year End 2019 Edition

Charles RandallLeave a comment

Welcome back, friendo. This month we’re going to do it a little different, because December was slow AF, and we’re all in the spirit of year-end lists. So this time, I’m going to give you a selection of my absolute favorite tracks of the year. Things you might have missed, things *I* might have missed. Just good music all around. 2019 was a year for the books, fingers crossed 2020 delivers. We’ll see what January gives us.

Oh yeah. This one’s a double. What can I say? It was a great year. Oh, and it ain’t all metal. Sorry metal fam, sometimes you just gotta take your medicine. Clocking in at just over two hours, I hope this helps you adjust to the fact that we now live in the future.

The Nine Circles Playlist Vol. 87 (7.13.2019)

So, another Saturday is upon us and what are you doing with it? Outside maybe? Well, obviously not if you’re reading this and thank you, by the way, for that. Once you get done reading, take this playlist of tunes with you and get the heck outside. Or do something. I’m sure there’s a show playing local to you or a pool to get into or a creek to cool off in. You get the point, just do something but play this loud as hell whatever you’re doing. Yesterday was one hell of a release day and we’ve got a little of that here plus a whole lot more. You know the drill, hit the play button and let the rough side drag. That’s what the weekend is for.
