In anticipation of their triumphant return to ProgPower USA, this week we discuss Circus Maximus’ third album, 2012’s Nine. This release marked a bit of a change from the traditional progressive metal sound the band displayed on The 1st Chapter and Isolate and what resulted was a more accessible record for casual metal fans. The guys break down each track and much more!
