NINTH CIRCLE Announce New Fall Tour Dates

Melodic metalers, Ninth Circle, are embarking on a fall tour beginning in September, which should conclude by the end of 2016.

Bassist Frank Forray explains the decision to finish off their year being on the road in the midst of writing a new record: “We started the year off with the goal to begin rehearsing newly written material for our next record. Unfortunately we had to take a little break in the first three months of the year because of an undisclosed health issue with our previous drummer. We wanted to give him time to heal. Unfortunately, we needed to move on and Dave needed to focus on his health so we turned to Jim Standerfer who had helped us out in the past to keep pushing us forward.”

Frank goes on to explain, “So we needed to get Jim up to speed quickly and booked a handful of dates to get him baptized in the church of Ninth Circle. Luckily he is a quick study and having played with us in the past he was able to get our catalog under his belt which allowed him to understand what we are doing with the newly written songs. During the last 3-4 shows we have been able to sneak in 2-3 new songs.”

The band now has a plan to begin recording in the first part of 2017. “We have a plan now to ensure we begin recording in early 2017. We are focused on the new songs and plan to keep adding new songs into our setlist for our upcoming shows.”

Frank discusses how playing live helps the band gel before entering the studio: “Playing live is a great way to work out any kinks with new songs. You can get the sense if the crowd digs it or not. That is the intent of booking a fall tour that should take us to December. It will give us a chance to road test some new songs and gel as a unit before we hit studio”.
