(Ektro, Pori / Helsinki)

Finland’s cult band # 1, Circle, is blasting the New Wave of Finnish Heavy Metal (NWOFHM) on European club and festival stages again!

Their extraordinary amalgamation of kraut-, psychedelic, math- and hard rock influences will blow your mind, you should make sure to catch one of the seven-piece's equally explosive and hypnotic concerts. Sweden's leading daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter called them "the world's best band - all categories", reviewing their much-celebrated 2011 appearance at Roskilde Festival. To guarantee maximum diversity, Circle can be also booked as their evil stoner rock alter ego of the same line-up, Pharaoh Overlord.

Currently, Circle are making a lot of waves with their new album "Terminal" which has been released by Southern Lord.
