Whoever posted circus maximus a year ago...

[IceDragonX]

The line up is totally kicking ass so far. I remember some one presented Circus Maximus and another band a year ago or something...so I have Circus Maximus's mp3s for about a year now. I remember Circus Maximus having a really heavily distinct symphony x sound and the mp3 on their site is not the same two MP3s I have on my hard drive right now "Glory of the Empire" and another song they made. I think the other band was stone something (they did a really cool version of Deep Purple's "Fireball")...cant remember the name for the life of me.

But however was the one who posted a link to these bands a year ago. Thanks a lot! Now Im not as lost like a lot of bands on last years roster. LOL.

They sounds like a lighter version of early Balance of Power to me. Thats only going off that one song so far.

I think they're going to surprise alot of people, the three mp3's I heard have all been quite good.

HOWEVER...

Having a band without an album play in the number two spot? That boggles my mind.

Manticora has three albums (none of which I own, mind you) and they're opening. Circus Maximus (with one CD out by the time Progpower roles around) will go on afterwards.

Anyway, I think they'll put on a good show based on the mp3's and nothing else.

Bear,

There is an 18 minute track that is going to blow your mind. I chose a lighter, more melodic one on purpose to balance the type of mp3s listed so far.

As to my comment above, I just saw the rationale in the other thread.

Gotcha.

You missed my explanation in the main thread. I schedule not just by seniority, but to balance the overall schedule in terms of prog vs power vs whatever in certain slots. I wanted Manticora to get the energry going in the opening slot. Traditionally, prog bands have faired much better in #2 slots (think Dreamscape, Threshold, etc).

There is always a method to my madness, even if folks don't like the method.

It wasn't a criticism of your "method", just a lack of understanding.

I get it now.

I didn't take it as such. Just a figure of speech .

I know when I first heard CM I posted alot of threads about them.

 

[IceDragonX]

wow didnt know my comment would cause this. LOL. I like them, I really like their track "Glory of the empire" but I dont know if they will even bother playing that song at PP. we will have to see. The stuff I heard is heavily symphony xish in all manners.

Oh they will play it won't they Glenn?

Ahh yes, that would be MIRRORSTONE, and yes, their demo RULED. Cant wait for a full release from them =)

 

[arglebargle]

I think it's awesome that Circus Maximus got a record deal and a spot at PP.


It just seems kind of odd, seeing as they have no albums.


Still, congrats to the guys... can't wait for the debut album.

 

[glasscastle]

personally, to me the Circus Maximus is the best band commttid so far. Straovarious!! Oh brother I've only heard about 30 bands doin that bit, (and a lot of them better).

 

[Bryan316]

Just heard the little 2 minute sample.


Must....



....have....



.......MOOOOOORE!!!!



Anybody wanna be an illegal bastard and email me a few complete songs?

 

[Pellaz]

Me, too, while you're at it....

 

[IceDragonX]

Me, too, while you're at it....

Me three!!

And thanks for telling me that was mirrorstone...I was going nuts trying to figure out the name of that band.

 

[Kez]

Me three!!

Me FOUR! I'm seriously digging this one MP3. Need MORE!!

 

[arglebargle]

Um, www.circusmaximussite.com

There are some more there. My favorite is "Imperial Destruction", which is a mindblowing prog-metal rocker. "Glory To The Empire" is great too... has a Dream Theater vibe without being wanky.


EDIT: Uh, the songs appear to be gone. Well, they WERE there once upon a time.

 

[glasscastle]

are you guys still looking for CM mp3's?
