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.
