Circles - The Compass [FLAC] + Prelude [mp3]

Circles are a 5 piece progressive metal act from Melbourne, Australia. An amalgamation of seasoned players all having a strong passion for music and pushing the boundaries of the conventional metal sound.

In 2010, Circles released the “Prelude” demo, which instantly caught the ears of fans worldwide. The song “The Frontline” had fans of the genre talking, with it’s heavy grooves, melodic vocals and synth undertones, this was a refreshing break in the trend of progressive metal.

Circles hit the live scene immediately after the release of the demo, playing numerous shows and festivals in Melbourne. With these shows quickly gaining more fans and momentum for the band, Circles needed to get to work on new material which would eventually become the bands first official E.P “The Compass”, released through Basick Records (UK) May 16th.

Only in their first year as a band, Circles have received critical acclaim from fans in Australia and abroad.

“In 26 years, I’ve not heard something so compelling as the sounds you guys put together. Being from the US, I got excited when I found Tesseract, Vildjharta, Monuments, and even Meshuggah. But you guys encompass everything I could ever want to hear in a band.” –Ty Donaldson (US)

“You guys are amazing, I’m listening to your songs for the first time and I’m speechless… looking forward to buy your album!” – Davide Zonca (Italy)

“HOLYSH*T GUYS! WOW!” – Aditya Bh (India)
