]]> 1201158000 Work Has Begun on Second Shadow Circus Album! http://www.shadowcircusmusic.com/article/18 http://www.shadowcircusmusic.com/article/18 We are pleased to announce that we are in the studio and have begun writing material for the second Shadow Circus CD!

Fans of the first CD will be pleased to know that this time around, we will be taking full advantage of the running time offered by modern CD's, with two songs already pushing the "epic" barrier at well-over 15 minutes, and many more on the way.

This new release will also expand on the writing team of founders John Fontana and David Bobick, with important contributions coming from new keyboardist Richard Horn, and bassist Matt Masek.

So far, I can tell you that listeners will get more of the epic style heard on "Journey of Everymen", as well as some hints at more modern and heavier, guitar-driven progressive rock.

The band's goal is to have the new CD completed by Summer of 2008.

Here are some samples:

“Welcome to the Freakroom” is a satisfying listen and an extremely strong entrance into the prog realm. ...Highly recommended and most likely to be a top pick for 2007." - Jason Bermiller, Progbase (Full review)

"...This one is chock full of intricate musicianship, changes, mood swings, and grandeur. Yes indeed, the things this old proghead is a sucker for. The band really gets to show what they are made of, and they don't disappoint...."  H.T. Riekels, Progarchives (Full Review)


I loved Shadow Circus! For me it has the perfect blend of accessibility and adventurousness. ...I highly recommend you get a hold of a copy of Welcome to the Freakroom by Shadow Circus. This disc is loaded with some great sounds, great songs and great music. If there is any justice in the music world, Shadow Circus will become that 15-year in the making overnight success. ..." - Jerry Lucky, author of The Progressive Rock Files (Full Review)

And the list goes on! See our reviews page for more!
