Circus Maximus
THE NEW MASTERPIECE ALBUM!
Five years of waiting for CIRCUS MAXIMUS new masterpiece album “Nine” to be
released in worldwide June on Frontiers
Frontiers Records is excited to announce the release of the anticipated third
album from Norwegian Progsters CIRCUS MAXIMUS entitled "Nine" on June 1st in
Europe and June 5th in North America.
Five years after the successful release of the concept album "Isolate", this
time Circus Maximus are back with a strong and mature cd. "A lot happened in
our personal lives during the past few years ", explains drummer Truls
Haugen. "Three of us had kids, plus we also had a several bumps in the road
with the production. So it has not exactly been a joyride, but it feels great
to finally be done, and after all this time we are ready to unleash our new
monster !"
Circus Maximus spent anyway their time also working hard to further refining
their sound. With “Nine” they are poised to take their place alongside the
upper echelon of Progressive Metal bands. The band’s musical formula is not
easy to accomplish – take jaw dropping musicianship, add a singer like
Michael Eriksen with a voice from heaven and toss it together with hooks,
anthemic melodies and enough groove and heavy riffing that really gets into
your head.
For this new record the band presents the best of both worlds – offering
their most melodic and at the same time heaviest moments of their repertoire,
with class and maturity which is really from another world. “The majority of
the material on the new record was written by Mats Haugen and he has taken
the music to a kind of simpler and more accessible approach, yet kept the
progressive elements and the "nerve" that is Circus Maximus” says Truls
Haugen. “We're actually more melodic and heavier on this new record than
we've ever been”.
The re-defining sound, the songwriting and the clever production, highlights
the band as one of the leading, original Progressive-Metal band around. “Nine
” is an absolute contender for Top Album of the year, transcending the
boundaries and subgenres of Hard Rock music!
“Nine” will include the following tracks: Forging; Architect Of Fortune;
Namaste; Game Of Life; Reach Within; I Am; Used; The One; Burn After Reading;
Last Goodbye.
“Reach Within” (Click here to listen to the sample) will be released as a
single worldwide on April 27th and can be exclusively listened in streaming
on the Frontiers Records webradio www.frontiers.it/webradio - A videoclip for
the song is in the works.
Circus Maximus will appear live in some selected shows in the summer before
launching a full scale tour in support of the new album. “We will definitely
represent this album live to the whole World” concludes Truls Haugen, “We
will do more live shows and more touring than ever and we really cant wait to
get back on the road!”
