Take It To The Max! 7/8/16

Just a few months after releasing their fourth studio album 'Havoc', Progressive Metallers Circus Maximus (Vid Of The Day) are popping over from Norway to the United Kingdom for a one-off show at London's Underworld here on Saturday 27th August. Formed in 2000 and initially being a covers band, they gained much credit for their versions of technically challenging tracks by top bands such as Dream Theater and Symphony X, and then started writing their own material for their first album 'The 1st Chapter' which was released in May 2005. Further albums followed; these being 'Isolate' released in August 2007 and 'Nine' released in June 2012, before 'Havoc' was released in March 2016. Since 2005 the band line-up has been vocalist Michael Eriksen, brothers Mats Haugen (guitars) and Truls Haugen (drums), bassist Glen Cato Møllen and keyboardist Lasse Finbråten.
