Los Angeles heavy metal power trio NINTH CIRCLE will perform at the Orange County Fair in Costa Mesa, CA for an unprecedented third straight year in a row at The Hangar concert venue. Ninth Circle is scheduled to perform Saturday, July 21st at 12 PM. The Orange County Fair is one of Southern California’s biggest summer events. Attendance for this yearly event averages over million visitors with last year’s attendance figures coming in at 1,135,536 visitors.

“We are extremely pleased to be performing again at the Orange County Fair”, expresses Frank Forray. “The Orange County Fair is a long running summer event that has seen many well-known bands grace its stage over the years. To be part of this event is an amazing thing for us.”

Frank goes on to say, “We are completely stoked to be back for this year’s event especially since we have been in the studio all year. This is going to be a huge event for us and our fans. What can be better than a summer show at one of the biggest venues in Southern California listening to some brand new Ninth Circle songs before the record is released? We are planning some special things for fans this year.”

Ninth Circle have been locked away in a recording studio since February working on their follow up to 2008’s The Power Of One record. The band has been furiously working to complete their new record and have released their latest video update from the studio. The band has been documenting their experience in the studio to give fans a behind the scenes perspective of what it is like to record a Ninth Circle record, to work with producer Jeff Prentice and how the amount of work that goes into producing a heavy metal record.

“We have been working really hard since February”, adds Frank Forray. “Now we are getting very close to being done! There are a few odd bits to be completed on guitar and we have scheduled a date for the three of us to go in and do backing vocals. That’s going to be blast!”
“I can tell you that the boys and Jeff have been working very hard to get this record done. Dennis has been taking the majority of the workload at the moment because he is doing double duty with guitars and vocals. From what I have heard so far, the vocals sound amazing! He has definitely outdone himself this time.”

Ninth Circle is currently wrapping up their recording sessions and are expecting to begin mixing and mastering in July to be complete by August.
