Circle II Circle is a band that has been reinventing themselves through the years, but maintaining that signature sound that fans around the world love – Reign Of Darkness is no exception to that attitude, bringing out the very best, Circle II Circle has to offer.

“You might say that Reign Of Darkness represents a musical reinvention for us, but the minute you hear each song you know right away that it‘s CIIC. We wanted to pay homage to the past, but we also wanted to create a musical renaissance within our genre that is fresh and energetic. This is an album that will positively pave the way for our future.”- Zak Stevens
