LIES WE SOLD Blaze Forward With “Nine Circles Deep”

French metalcore/progressive force LIES WE SOLD return with “Nine Circles Deep,” a blistering three-minute assault that marks a new creative chapter for the rising act. After notable collaborations with Pierre Danel, Nicolas Exposito, and Lance Prenc, and more than 20 shows across France and Europe supporting Any Given Day, Bleed From Within, Betraying the Martyrs, Dragged Under, and Ten56., the band step back into the spotlight with sharpened focus and undeniable momentum.

Musically, Nine Circles Deep is a concentrated strike — immediate, relentless, and deliberately suffocating. The band channel their hybrid of metalcore and progressive metal into a track that surges without pause, exploring the turmoil of knowingly following the wrong path and facing its consequences. Luan Cao’s mix and master amplify the song’s urgency, delivering a raw, direct punch that mirrors the emotional weight behind every riff and vocal line.

The official music video, directed by Julien Metternich (Mass Hysteria, Bukowski, Klone, Grandma’s Ashes), elevates the song’s intensity through stark, symbolic imagery. Shot inside a church, the video leans into minimalism while delivering striking moments — a blazing circle of fire, a confessional sequence, and a suspended performance setup — each reinforcing the band’s evolving artistic identity and the thematic gravity of the song.

With Nine Circles Deep, LIES WE SOLD prove once again that their blend of aggression and atmosphere is as compelling as it is uncompromising. The single and its evocative video capture a band pushing forward with confidence, clarity, and creative fire — a powerful statement from an act carving out their place in Europe’s modern heavy music landscape.
