NINTH CIRCLE Talk New Album, Summer Tour - "This Has Been The Best Time For The Band Creatively"
June 5, 2014, 10 years ago
Los Angeles melodic metal band Ninth Circle recently released their third album, Legions Of The Brave, via Pure Rock Records. The band is getting ready to hit the road to support their new record.
Bassist Frank Forray talks about their new album, record company and tour: “In a way, this isn’t the Legions Of The Brave tour, it is the Blood, Sweat And Beers tour for all the heart and hard work that we have put into this. But then again, this has also been the best time for the band creatively and knowing who we are as a band."
“Legions Of The Brave is by far the best Ninth Circle album we have recorded to date”, expresses Frank. “We really focused this album to make sure fans get an album from Ninth Circle that goes above and beyond our previous record, The Power Of One. The new album is more progressive and complex and I love this sound! We could not be more pleased with everything about this album; the songs, the production, the artwork and our record company – Pure Rock Records in Germany."“Pure Rock Records has been doing a fantastic job supporting this record. They have been a great partner. We have received a lot of fantastic press and reviews about this record. It is very rewarding and gratifying to read so many positive reviews and to hear from fans who think so highly of this record. The record just came out at the end of May so we have a long road ahead of us to give this album the proper support it needs.”
Frank goes on to talk about supporting this record on tour, “We had a great kick off show to announce our album was on its way by playing with Primal Fear on their only Los Angeles date. It was a great honor to share the stage again with Primal Fear as we opened for them the last time they were in Los Angeles on their 16.6 Tour in ’09.”
“Right now we are putting together our summer tour dates. We are focusing on larger venues and festivals for the summer leg of the tour. There are a lot of exciting things coming up for the band and our fans. Everything we are doing now and for the foreseeable future is intended to give our new record all the proper support and attention it deserves. We are excited to bring this new record to the masses and to show what this album can do in a live environment. It was meant to be heard live!”Ninth Circle live dates:
