September 18, 2008, 16 years ago
CIRCLE II CIRCLE, featuring ex-SAVATAGE singer Zak Stevens, have issued the following update:
"It is with great pleasure that we can now announce that guitarist Bill Hudson (known from POWER QUEST, CELLADOR and THE SUPREMACY) has joined Circle II Circle.We're sad about parting ways with Evan, but the addition of Bill into the band is gonna keep us going strong. We start our North American tour with JON OLIVA'S PAIN and MANTICORA September 20th."
Bill Hudson had this to say about the situation: "I'm really stoked about being a part of Circle II Circle! I've been a fan of Zak since high school. We met last year when I played ProgPower USA and became great friends. Then, a few months later I met Mitch (Paul Michael Stewart) at the Nightmare Metal Festival in Florida and we, too, became friends right there. It's almost like this whole thing was meant to happen!"
When asked about the upcoming tour with Manticora and JOP, he said, "It'll be great to see Zak Stevens and Jon Oliva on the same stage again, and I'm truly honored that I'll be a part of it!"
