Australia’s progressive metal giants, Circles, shape a new era with the release of the first part of their long-awaited two-part EP – ‘The Stories We Are Afraid Of | Vol. 1’. Out Now via Wild Thing Records.
Produced during the extensive lockdowns in Melbourne, Circles‘ new EP emphasises the importance of self-reflection and self-realisation in the face of despair and hopelessness, and illustrates the first steps in finding the strength to make positive, empowering change in oneself.
The progressive giants’ recent three singles have seen rotations on domestic and international radio stations, as well as curation from Spotify and Apple Music editorial playlists. ‘Sleepwalking’, ‘Dig’ and ‘Echo’ have all been featured by The Racket on Triple J. Playlist success includes Spotify’s All New Metal, Progressive Metal, Homegrown + Heavy and Rock Out playlists in addition to Apple Music’s New Music Daily, Heaps Heavy and The New Rock. Media support from domestic and international media outlets includes Heavy Mag (AU), Hysteria Mag (AU), Kill Your Stereo (AU), Metal Hammer (UK), Sonic Perspectives (US), The Prog Report (US) and more.
