Los Angeles heavy metal power trio NINTH CIRCLE has been tapped to open for the new super group HARDROCK ALLSTARS as the finale of their Summer Vengeance Tour 2010. Hardrock Allstars feature Jaime St. James (BLACK N' BLUE), Juan Croucier (ex-RATT), Jon E. Love (LOVE/HATE) and Pete Holmes (Black N' Blue).

On the heels of Ninth Circle’s successful The Power of One Tour and during their equally successful Summer Vengeance Tour, the band has been asked to open for several marquee acts in rock n’ roll such as DOKKEN, GREAT WHITE, Y&T;, MSG, PRIMAL FEAR, HAMMERFALL and on and on.

“This is just another great indication of just how popular and in demand Ninth Circle is becoming”, explains Frank Forray (bass/vocals).

“We’ve been on the road full force since November of 2008 just before The Power Of One CD was released in December of that year and we have been going strong ever since. Since the kickoff show in Hollywood with Love/Hate, a ton of great opportunities have come our way. And many of these great shows have found us! I think this speaks highly in part to the strength of our songs and, most importantly, our live shows which really feature our songs and ability to perform them well on stage.”

Frank continues, “Now as we are winding down our Summer Vengeance Tour, we are handed this great opportunity to play this great new super group on their third show. This will be a nice way to close our summer tour supporting a great new band and Jon E. Love of Love/Hate, which was the band we supported on the opening night of the tour... This is going to be one hell of a rock n’ roll party!”

Ninth Circle has been writing and road testing new material for the follow up release to The Power Of One CD. Word from the camp is that they will begin recording in the fall.

Ninth Circle will support Hardrock Allstars on August 28th at Angels Roadhouse in Yucaipa, CA.
