"A triumph of a different flavor, but just as savory and bursting with texture, The Sleeping City keeps these talented fellows at the summit of progressive, impactful music."

The Month That Was is back, taking in some of the missed released from September and October. Come for An Abstract Illusion, stay for Wode (and seven other great records).
Nine Circles ov… The Month That Was: September and October 2025
Too many albums, too few reviewers…that’s the problem with all the metal blogs, not just this one. What do you do? How do you get a sense of what’s out there if you’re only listening to a fraction of what’s getting released? How do you open yourself up to new music? I’ll tell you how: you jump into all the unpicked promos each month and devote a sentence or two giving a sense of what you gleaned from it.

We are extremely honored and excited to join legendary DISILLUSION and supporting them for three dates in May 2026. A band that shouldn’t need any further introduction for fans of progressive metal, their latest album, “Ayam”, is one of the best metal albums of the 20’s!

Music to fit my mood and experience.
If you like your #metal #death and #blackened and #technical and #progressive, then do your ears a favour.
This is AOTY stuff.
