CIRCLE II CIRCLE / MACHINES OF GRACE / ex-SAVATAGE frontman Zak Stevens is featured in a new interview with Metal Express Radio. He discusses th eband's forthcoming album, tour plans, and a variety of other subjects. Check it out here.

Circle II Circle have begun laying down tracks at Sweet Spot Studios for the recording of it’s fifth album entitled Consequence Of Power. The second concept album for the band, Consequence Of Power has been described as “a melodic power metal album catering to all fans from the old Savatage era to all Circle II Circle European fans and breaking new ground for an all new fan base in America.”

The release is expected for fall of 2010 through AFM Records.

According to Stevens: “It’s been a hell of a ride so far, but it seems like just the beginning for some reason. People are really appreciating the purity of real hard rock and metal music these days since the genre became somewhat out of focus within the music industry the last five years. The demand for our style of music has roared back from fans, both young and old, on the history behind the band. We hear the calling and we continue to move forward. Circle II Circle will take you on a musical journey like no other rock/metal band. We will deliver a monumental evening of rock and roll power every night on tour. Don’t miss it!”

The band’s line up consists of Zak Stevens (vocals), Andy Lee (guitar), Mitch Stewart (bass/keyboards) and new drummer Johnny Osborn, formerly of DR. BUTCHER.

Circle II Circle recently signed a management deal with Venomm and is currently booking for the Power Tour 2010/2011 due to begin this summer.
