Description

Circus Maximus is a Norwegian power and progressive metal act formed in Oslo in 2000. Their second album Isolate is following in the paths of their forefathers Dream Theater, Pagan’s Mind and Outworld, are apparently the next rising star in the Prog universe – as this release shows them breaking down more walls with the intricacy and complexity of their world-shattering debut, yet also with an added spoonful of hooky, catchy goodness that will reel you in and keep you there for the entire duration of this album. I love when bands do this – to just bust out complex, involving metal songs that keep you interested and never come out of your head after one or two listens. There are thousands of bands with one or the other, but I seem to find it a rarity for a band to possess both at the same time – which Circus Maximus indeed do on Isolate. Buy this one as its an excellent addition to any progressive music collection.
