Shadow Circus is pleased
to announce that they will be entering the studio later this month to
begin recording of their third album, and follow-up to 2010's successful
Whispers and Screams. Keeping with the tradition of expanding
literary concepts into music, as they did with "Project Blue", which was
based on Stephen King's epic horror fantasy The Stand, Shadow Circus will now go further back into fantasy history, this time paying homage to Madeleine L'Engle's masterpiece, A Wrinkle in Time.
Fans of this book may take an interest in some of the working song
titles from this epic suite, entitled "...On a Dark and Stormy Night",
the title of which is a continuation of the name of the last track on Whispers and Screams, "...Then in July, the Thunder Came":
Overture
Daddy's Gone
Whosit, Whatsit and Which
Through the Tesseract
Song of Uriel
Camazotz
Ixchel
The Battle for Charles Wallace
It is not yet known whether the entire album will be devoted to this concept, and additional "chapters" may be added.
The
band will release a two-song Maxi single in October, featuring a new
song called "Rise", and a sample of the forthcoming epic, which will be
available for purchase at any of their live shows scheduled in the
Northeast U.S. and Canada, and through the band's website at
