Circles - The Compass EP (2011)
« on: July 29, 2011, 08:22:20 AM »
Searched around and didn't see mention of this band or album in this forum.  This EP came out in May and has been slaying me for a solid two months.  If I could describe them, I'd say Animals as Leaders, Kaddisfly, and Karnivool got put into a blender and Circles came out.  Great riffage, soaring vocals, interesting prog elements, and electronics/programming strategically weaved throughout.  It's a very consistent and enjoyable listen from start to finish.

If you haven't heard their stuff, and like any of the above bands, give it a go!

Page 2, zero replies?  This forum cannot be serious.  Bumping and letting the chips fall where they may - maybe someone will choose to not sleep on this band.

Just listened to "The Frontline" and I have to say, their musicianship is incredible, but there is something about the vocals that puts me off. Maybe it's something I just have to get used to, so I'll keep listening to what they have to offer.

Woot!  Keep at it - the EP isn't very long, but there are some great rocking moments on this thing!  I happen to love the vocals, being a huge Kaddisfly fan (and this guy sounds a lot like that vocalist IMO).

As I just got into this sort of music recently, this sounds like my sort of thing. Will check it out.
