Magic Circle Music recently inked a distribution deal for the US and Canada with MRI Associated Labels, partners of Sony's US distribution specialist RED. On June 8th, Magic Circle Music will christen this partnership with four highly anticipated releases:

Thunder In The Sky - MANOWAR: The two-disc Thunder In The Sky EP features brand new tracks such as 'Let The Gods Decide', 'God Or Man' and a much-requested remake of the classic 'The Crown And The Ring'. Disc 2 features the power ballad 'Father' in 15 different languages, including German, Italian, Spanish, Polish, and Portuguese.

HolyHell - HOLYHELL: HolyHell was produced by Manowar bassist and Magic Circle mastermind Joey DeMaio and the album bears the crystal-clear, massive sound for which he’s known. Mixing and mastering took place at Galaxy Studios in Belgium, one of Europe's most renowned studios, with award-winning mixing engineer Ronald Prent and two time Grammy Award winning mastering engineer Darcy Proper.

Defiance - JACK STARR'S BURNING STARR: Defiance is not only brimming with Starr’s prototypical power metal songwriting and rock guitar heroics, but it also benefits from top notch production, courtesy of Joey DeMaio. Songs like 'Ancient Ones', 'Once And Future King' and 'The Day Of The Reaper' embody the power and glory befitting, dare we say, a king of metal. Throughout his career, Jack Starr has consistently performed and recorded with world-class musicians, cultivated a devoted fan base with his signature style and inspired musicians who have kept his legacy relevant in recent years via the symphonic and power metal movements. Defiance is inarguably a testament to these facts.

The Essential Shred Guitar Collection - JOE STUMP: On The Essential Shred Guitar Collection, Joe reimagines some of his all time favorite recordings, along with a few new tracks. 'Attack Of The Killer Swans' is a neo-classical speed metal tour de force reworking of the “Enchanted Lake” theme from Tchaikovsky`s masterpiece Swan Lake. “The Devil`s Fiddler,” pays homage to another of Joe`s classical heroes: Romantic-era violin virtuoso Niccolo Paganini. This record mandatory listening for all fans of European influenced shred, old school hard rock and guitar driven metal. Discover what most music experts already proclaim: Joe is the ultimate guitar monster.
