Re: Is Circus Maximus Website really gone?

My understanding was that Pagan's Mind had quietly disbanded, but nothing is confirmed. I know Circus Maximus were working on a new album that dived back into the old proggier sound again (mostly Isolate). Saw something on FB with tbe guys jamming in a studio Remember..

I honestly don't remember the specifics. It would have been circa 97/98 when I first discovered Dream Theater thanks to a fraternity brother. Some searching resulted in my stumbling on (I think) Dr Metal's page which introduced me to Vanden Plas and Empty Tremor. I'm sure somewhere in there was whe...

Re: Redemption clones

I actually agree with both of you here ... I don’t think Redemption brought anything “new” or “unique” as such to the genre that makes them identifiable on first listen - and in return that is probably why there aren’t bands that sound like them. I was their manager for 7-8 years or so, and I love ...

I understand why people don't like him, but I do. I've always enjoyed a distinctive, trebly style of vocal, even in death metal - I'll take a J...
