Biography

Ninth Circle has been electrifying audiences in the US with their stunning live performances over the last several years. Their brand of Melodic Metal has served them well since the release of the self-titled debut in 2000. Branded as "in your face melodic metal from Southern California's premier powerhouse trio", the album Ninth Circle quickly ran up the Independent Metal Charts and reached the #1 position on MP3.com. Keeping with the tradition of bands such as Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, Ninth Circle remains a band true to their roots to this day.

Ninth Circle continued to support their release by performing live even when heavy metal remained unfashionable. They carried the metal flag deep into battle with every show, gaining new fans each time. The song writing partnership of Dennis Brown (Vocals & Guitar) and Frank Forray (Bass Guitar) would not be compromised; heavy metal was in their blood and heavy melodic metal is what they delivered!

In the winter of 2008 Ninth Circle emerged stronger than ever with their worldwide critically acclaimed The Power of One. The album showcased the influences of bands such as Hammerfall, Primal Fear and Stratovarius, giving the band a more progressive and aggressive sound. The Metal community quickly accepted the album and the band received 7 nominations at the "South Bay Music Awards" in Southern California including album of the year. More and more positive reviews surfaced worldwide and Ninth Circle again quickly ran up to the top of the Metal Charts this time on cdbaby.com.

Ninth Circle riding the wave of success from The Power Of One have now created a Melodic Metal masterpiece; Legions Of The Brave. The band has gone bigger and bolder by embracing progressive elements and pushing Metal into new melodic realms. Ninth Circle delivers an exciting brand of metal combining dynamic song writing, powerful riffs and a driving rhythm section. Legions of the Brave hooks the listener in from the very first track.

Legions of the Brave is the outcome of 3 years of touring; inspiration from bands they performed with such as Primal Fear, Hammerfall, Y&T, Mr. Big, Dokken, UFO and Michael Schenker, and a year of focused songwriting. Legions of the Brave elevates Ninth Circle into the hierarchy of melodic metal with their lethal combination of melody and power.

Legions of the Brave release date is May 30th, 2014 on Pure Rock Records, a sub-label of Pure Steel Records.
