wayfarer – 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: Darkthrone, Lykotonon, Killswitch Engage, and More

How come I seem to get sick after doing literally anything these days?

Wayfarer and Wake are touring together this December. Unfortunately, it’s only a handful of dates, none of which are need me, but take a look at the full schedule here. If you can get to this one, do it, and make me jealous.
Some of the same people, but a very different vibe. Lykotonon revealed a new track from Promethean Pathology, titled “The Primal Principle”. Give it a listen here. That album is out on November 25 through Profound Lore.
Killswitch Engage have announced three shows in late December to celebrate the holiday season, in New Jersey, New York, and Massachusetts. They’ll be joined by Rivers of Nihil and Unearth, so this is going to be a good time. Get tickets here.
Aborted are about to hit the road with Lorna Shore, so let’s drop in their new single. Give “Infinite Terror” a listen here, their first single in partnership with Nuclear Blast.
Of course, it would be a mistake to not close with Darkthrone… lest I feel the wrath of Chris. So give “Caravan of Broken Ghosts” a listen immediately below. Astral Fortress is out on October 28 through Peaceville Records… which is a week from Friday. Damn.

Took a lot of cool photos yesterday after a storm… that’s all I got.

A few new music videos in the pile today, so let’s open with the new one from Carnifex for “Lie To My Face”. Another heads up, their 15th anniversary tour is this coming September and October, so be sure to make that happen.
Tobias Sammet’s Avantasia kicked off pre-orders for A Paranormal Evening with the Moonflower Society today, and dropped the video “The Moonflower Society” along with it.
Denver rock outfit Abrams are releasing their next album, In The Dark, on September 9th through Small Stone Recordings. “Like Hell” is streaming now over at New Noise Magazine.
Jumping over to Century Media, Orthodox shared a new clip for “Cave In”. (See, I told you there were a lot of videos today.) Anyway, that’s taken from Learning To Dissolve, which drops on August 19th.
I absolutely love Wayfarer and cannot wait to see them at Fire In The Mountains in a little over a week, so we’re going to wrap up the day with their new music video for “Fire & Gold”. That track, of course, is taken from A Romance With Violence, which is out through Profound Lore.

CANTO: Suicide Silence, Wayfarer, Death Bells, and More

I am legitimately proud of how much I crammed into this past weekend.

We’ll lead off with Suicide Silence, who have announced their return to Century Media Records. They released their first three full-length albums through the label, and it sound like new music is heading our way soon.
Hell yeah! An April Wayfarer tour! …That comes nowhere near me. Damnit. Well, if you happen to be on the western side of the United States in a couple months, much sure you carve out time for one of these shows. I’ll be jealous.
Death Bells released a new track today called “Passerby”. That release comes right before a handful of live dates, including time at Homesick Fest in California, which you can see here.
Looks like Dino Cazares will be joining Soulfly on their upcoming U.S. tour with Short Fuse and 200 Stab Wounds. Check out all the dates, and purchase tickets, here.
Yeah, I guess we can close with something symphonic. Check out the new animated video from Belle Morte for “Who are you”. Their debut full-length, Crime of Passion, is out through Wormholedeath.

CANTO: Gaerea, Equilibrium, Wayfarer, and More

How come everything explodes at work right at the end of the day?

Anyway, let’s talk about Gaerea, who are still riding the momentum following the very impressive Limbo, are already back in the studio recording a new album. We can expect that next year at some point, through Season of Mist.
Wayfarer have announced two exclusive performances next January. The first is scheduled for the 22nd at Saint Vitus, and the second for the 28th at The Bluebird Theater in Denver. That Vitus date is a performance with Falls of Rauros, and having seen that exact lineup in recent years, I can confirm that you absolutely cannot miss that show if you are in NYC.
Nightwish confirmed the North American dates of the “HVMAN. :||: NATURE.” world tour. They run from May 4th through the 22nd, and basically go coast to coast. Check out a trailer for the tour right here.
Closing with Equilibrium is always a good idea, so here’s the new clip for “Met (20 Years Later)”. There are a ton of guests in that reimagining of the first Equilibrium song ever, so definitely take a few minutes to check it out below.
