Commented vocalist Michael Eriksen: "This seems to be a match made in heaven, as Frontiers Records has a long history of working with only the best melodic metal/hard rock bands in the world and CIRCUS MAXIMUS are definitely one of those".

CIRCUS MAXIMUS' sound is being described in a press release as "a unique mixture of progressive technical metal and melodic hard rock" and a must "for all fans of SYMPHONY X, DREAM THEATER and TNT."

"The 1st Chapter", due on May 16, will contain the following track listing:

01. Sin (mp3 sample)

03. Glory of the Empire (mp3 sample)
04. Biosfear

This band rocks so much.

This disc is at the top of my 'To Get' list. I have a feeling these guys may be the band that steals the spotlight from some of the bigger boys. Good find Glenn.

I already have the whole song...if anybody is interested...I can send it to you

Just to clarify, you have a demo of that song. There is a big difference between that one and the one on the album.

[The Fiddler]

I'm starting to hear more of a Geddy Lee sound in the vocals on the newly posted clips – not bad!

 

[DarkOne]

All I could say while listening is:

HOLY $#@%^ this is good !

Great choice Glenn!

Steve in Philly

 

[Bear]

Very cool. They sound good. I just do not see where the Symphony X and Dream Theater comparisons are being made though. TNT and Balance of Power would be more fitting.

Glenn H.

really, that demo sounded pretty damn good!

Just listened to that sample...sounds better. The mix on the drums is kind of weak though.

 

[Mike Maximus]

Hmm...for those of you who even care...I DID NOT SAY THAT LAST LINE!

Sounds like a guy with a HUGE ego, but I think this is something the management has put together just to make things more interseting for the reader.

See ya later

Are you talking about me or Glenn...I'm confused


CM rules!

 

[PlatypusJesus]

No, I believe he's saying that he didn't say Circus Maximus are one of the best melodic metal/hard rock bands in the world. hehe. I was wondering about that. I read it, and I thought, "Wait, did he really say that?"

Correct - the statement, where Michael comes off as quite big-headed, is not accurate. It's 2 different things put together in one. Michael was actually saying to me that he hoped that CM one day would be looked upon as one of the great bands in their genre. And I, the stupid manager, hurried too much with making Michael's statement ready for the public that I threw it together with his comment about Frontiers Records always releasing superb albums by great bands, so it appeared as if Michael was comparing CM with the other bands at that label. Sorry guys, it's my fault :-(

[lucretia96]

this sounds much better than initial sample.

 

[PlatypusJesus]

hehe. I think they can find it in their heart of hearts to forgive you. It's not like it's an inaccurate statement anyway.

 

[dargormudshark]

I got it

 

[guardian26]

Clips sound so great. Nice spin control by the management too, hah. Can't wait to hear more.

 

[Davide Guidone]

I listened to a couple of songs of CM at Frontiers records some time ago. I think they are interesting at a first listen. I'll check them out when the album will be published
