translation loss – Nine Circles

CANTO: Ashbringer, Ascended Dead, Elder Devil, and More

This is going to be a murderous week and I am already exhausted by it.

Opening with some atmospheric black metal on this gloomy day feels right. Check out the new stuff from Ashbringer, “Rain”, over at Invisible Oranges. They’ve signed on to Translation Loss, so we’ll keep eyes out for a new album announcement sometime soon as well.
How about a couple of tours? Wormhole are hitting North America with Analepsy, Cognitive, and Necroticgorebeast this coming July and early August. Here’s the full schedule with ticket links.
And then we have Ascended Dead. The West Coast Apocalypse tour includes a handful of dates in June, alongside Coscradh. They’ll be supporting Evenfall Of The Apocalypse, which is approaching its May 12 release through 20 Buck Spin.
False Fed, a new project formed by members of Ministry, Amebix, Nausea, Discharge, and more have signed with Neurot Recordings. We can expect their debut later this year, titled Let Them Eat Fake.
Let’s close with some grind. Elder Devil dropped a video for “My Body Is An Earthen Shrine”, which you can check out below. Their sophomore album, Everything Worth Loving, is out on June 16 through Prosthetic Records.

It’s late, but I’m back! So what did I miss today?

Thantifaxath are back. Their long-awaited new album, Hive Mind Narcosis, will be out on June 2 through Dark Descent Records. Give “Solar Witch”, the opening track from that upcoming new album, a listen right here.
One of my favorites, 1476, have also finally announced a new album. In Exile will be out on July 7 through Prophecy Productions. Give “When Comes The Dawn?” a listen here.
Phoenix death collective Thra have announced details surrounding their debut full length. Forged In Chaotic Spew will be out on July 29 through Translation Loss. Give “Drag” a listen over at Metal Injection, and be sure to catch them on the road supporting Conan next month.
How about a tour? Sleep Token have scheduled a September and October headlining run, and the full schedule, with ticket links, can be found here. Their new album, Take Me Back To Eden is out on May 19 through Spinefarm.
Closing out, we have the latest from Vintersea. The video for “Unveiling Light” can be found below. Their forthcoming new album, Woven Into Ashes, is set for a May 5 release through M-Theory Audio.

It appears this week will not be tapering off exactly as I would have hoped.

We’ve got new stuff from Tsjuder! The Norwegian black metallers are releasing a new album on June 23 through Season of Mist, titled Helvegr. Check out the beastly new single, “Gods of Black Blood”, here.
Seattle death metal crew Re-Buried are hitting the road this coming May in support of their debut album, Repulsive Nature. That dropped back in January through Translation Loss, in case you missed it. Those out West should check out one of these dates.
Enforced unveiled a new sample from War Remains. Give “Starve” a listen (and watch) here. Their new album is set for an April 28 release through Century Media.
Heavy metal veterans Raven are releasing a new album on June 30. All Hell’s Breaking Loose, their 15th studio album, will be available through Silver Lining Music. Give “Go For The Gold” a listen here.
Without a doubt, closing with the latest from Cattle Decapitation is the way to go. Check out “Scourge of the Offspring” below. The highly anticipated new album, Terrasite, is out on May 12 through Metal Blade.

Life is chaos, so these may not come around as frequently as they used to.

I was psyched to see this emerge today. Check out this multi-camera video of the Obsequiae Fire In The Mountains set. If you look closely enough, you may see some of 9C’s own in the audience and/or photo pit. I personally haven’t looked close enough to confirm or deny.
New Jersey progressive outfit East of the Wall are releasing their sixth full-length, A Natural Second, on June 30 through Translation Loss Records. Give “Detonator Gauntlet” a listen over at Decibel.
Machine Head announced some upcoming U.S. dates. Public tickets sales for their Electric Happy Hour (Live) tour go on sale this coming Friday. Those links, along with the schedule and any other details you may need, can be found here.
Thrash legends Overkill are releasing Scorched on April 14 through Nuclear Blast, and today they unveiled a visualizer for the second single from that collection. Give “Wicked Place” a listen, and watch, right here.
Helloween are returning to North America for a handful of dates in May and June, and they’ll be joined by special guest HammerFall. Tickets are on sale now at this location.
It’s time for me to move on with my evening, so we’ll wrap up with the latest from Sortilège. Check out the new music video for “Vampire” below. Their recently released new album, Apocalypso, is available through Season of Mist.

The new Soilwork is awesome. Chris wrote a whole review about it. Read it.

Lacuna Coil are releasing Comalies XX, a remade version of their iconic 2002 album marking its anniversary. That will be out on October 14th through Century Media, and a clip for “Tight Rope XX” is available here.
Clutch is popular, so we’ll jump there next. They unveiled a new single and video, titled “Slaughter Beach”, which can be viewed here. That track, naturally, is taken from Sunrise On Slaughter Beach, which drops one month from today through Weathermaker.
Labyrinth of Stars, the new project featuring members of Valborg and Lantlôs, are streaming a new track over at Brooklyn Vegan titled “Dissolving Into The Eternal Nothingness”. That’s the latest from their debut album, Spectrum Xenomorph, which drops on September 30th through Translation Loss.
We’re going to close with something I’ve been anticipating for a bit now, and that is the latest from Stormruler. Their new album, Sacred Rites & Black Magick is set for an October 14th release through Napalm Records. Check out the video for the title track here. It rules.
