12:58 - Spell guys check out my new orchestral cover of the beatles [link]
11:06 - zmaj666 It is fucking sweltering out here...too hard!!!
10:07 - Cynic Metalhead It's a fucking 40 degree out here. Too hot.
09:23 - Daggon Hey, it only rains everyday only on the middle of the year, the rest of the time it's quite sunny if you ask (I'm talking about Mexico City)
08:22 - scapeplan Weather is pretty freaking arbitrary in my region. The sky has been overcast today, yesterday it was about 85F without a single cloud.
07:23 - Egigantea @Jaeryd17 I stayed in Mexico City for a month, rained there every day. It really sucks trust me
05:47 - Jaeryd17 @Boxcar - I live in the middle of the Arizona desert... I would also be happy if it rained every day. All I have is searing heat and blinding sunshine for the vast majority of the year.
Frontiers Records has announced the release of the new album from Norwegian progressive metallers Circus Maximus, entitled Nine, on June 1st in Europe and June 5th in North America. You can listen to a sample from the new song "Reach Within" here. "Reach Within" will be released as a digital single on April 27th.
Truls Haugen commented: "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. We're actually more melodic and heavier on this new record than we've ever been."
"A lot happened in our personal lives during the past few years. 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!"
Nine tracklist:
01. Forging
02. Architect Of Fortune
03. Namaste
04. Game Of Life
05. Reach Within
06. I Am
07. Used
09. The One
10. Burn After Reading
11. Last Goodbye
Been waiting for this one for a long time, although can't complain really as many of the members have had children and other personal things to deal with... and it's still not as bigger wait as the new Wintersun album!!!!

Now, I can get aiming to a broader audience, after all they ARE in the business for making money, but honestly I couldn't tell the difference between their sample and a generic garage rock band.
I was actually looking forward to this album, but after hearing the sample I'm beginning to have doubts. This is no longer the Circus Maximus I knew and loved. Wait, maybe they've retained the progressive edge with some clever lyrics?
"It's time to face your fears"
"Looking back you've always found a reason for the easy way out"
Eh... no. Nor was it ever their strong side anyways.

Totally agree.
Hope this is the only song on the album like this.
I don't like their previous albums a lot, but this sample is a bit annoying,
specially the keyboard + vocal melodies.
Anyway, It can be a change in priorities after all!
Kinda blows my hopes that the vocalist could be a good pick for the Kamelot slot...I'm tired of waiting to see who that will be. But tonally, his lows and mids are PERFECT, and his highs are just unique enough to give the guys a rejuvinated sound. Dammit.

Yeah, we think the same really but CM are a good band so it's not a loss.
No, I didn't mean anything about the sample at all. It's just that when a group is all excited about their new stuff, it typically means that that is what they are focusing on...which is why I don't think we'll be seeing him in Kamelot.

That part of the post wasn't directed at you, just a general observation of the posters above
Written by tea[m]ster on 23.04.2012 at 00:37 Their is NO WAY this album will meet anyones expectations: the CM fanboys or general progheads, The album took way to long to release.

These guys have nothing on Wintersun.
I know it Troy. To both of those bands: The albums better not suck!
but CM are a good band so it's not a loss.
