NINTH CIRCLE Issues 2009 Recap
December 18, 2009, 14 years ago
2009 was a big year for Los Angeles metal outfit NINTH CIRCLE.
The year kicked off with the release of their second CD, The Power Of One. Sales of The Power Of One were strong in over 10 countries.
The band then launched into the 12-month (and going) Power Of One Tour with a Hollywood tour kick-off show with the reunited LOVE/HATE. The tour took the band to new halls and they played alongside some of the biggest names in rock; Y&T;, PRIMAL FEAR, DOKKEN, MICHAEL SCHENKER and GREAT WHITE.
2009 also saw the reissue of their debut CD, Ninth Circle, which widened their exposure even further.
“2009 was huge for us”, explains bassist/vocalist Frank Forray. “We played with some of the most amazing bands and musicians on the planet; Michael Schenker (MSG), Dave Menitketti (Y&T;) and the guys in Primal Fear. It was like a dream come true. Our albums have done well, especially in Japan and Europe, and radio stations worldwide have been playing our songs as well. We also headlined the Weekend From Hell Festival, both days, and the South Bay Monsters Rock Festival III. It’s a bit surreal to think of what we accomplished this year. Having done plenty of radio interviews and YouTube stuff, we have been on full blast pushing the band and the goal is to continue this well into 2010.”Frank goes on to say, “2010 will bring about some great new surprises for our fans around the world. We’re a band that can’t sit still... and we have been working on some new material. So if things go according to plan, we’ll get a chance to road test some new material!”
