Winston-Salem, NC-based progressive/experimental rock/metal quartet STELLAR CIRCUITS recently announced the release of their upcoming album, Ways We Haunt, out November 9, 2018. The album was produced by renowned producer Jamie King (Between The Buried And Me, Scale The Summit, The Contortionist), and is available for pre-orders in digital and physical/merch formats. Select tracks are also available for streaming via Spotify.
Following up on the release of their first single, “Go With Your Ghost”, STELLAR CIRCUITS have revealed a second new single, the dynamic new opus “Nocturnal Visitor“. Listen to the track now via Heavy Blog is Heavy.
Drummer Tyler Menon says about the track: “This was one of the first songs we wrote for the album. It opens up the record on a chaotic note. Following the concept of the album, it symbolizes the cycle from the light back into darkness. This song pairs with “The Polar Dream”, the second to last track on the record, which symbolizes “waking up”, or the return to the light. It was just by chance that we wrote these songs around the same time, so sonically they are similar, but we wouldn’t find until the end of the writing process that they ended up representing opposite ends of the story.”
STELLAR CIRCUITS are also pleased to announce their upcoming album release tour. The tour will kick off with their album release show on November 2 at The RamKat in Winston-Salem, NC, and will visit several other southeastern U.S. cities, coming to an end in Greenville, SC on November 17. The band will also perform on two select shows in October. See below for a full listing of tour dates.
STELLAR CIRCUITS have been churning out massive soundscapes of rock and metal – chock full of the elements of progressive/experimental rock and metal that fans of the genre love with none of the tired fluff in between. In addition to those elements, Ways We Haunt incorporates influences from the outer-sphere of metal and rock, past and present, reflecting out-of-the-box artists like A Perfect Circle, Karnivool, Between The Buried And Me, The Contortionist and beyond.
STELLAR CIRCUITS formed in 2015 with the idea of creating progressively-minded music that resonates with the masses. The name “Stellar Circuits” is derived from the eight-circuit model of consciousness, a theory proposed in the 1970’s about expanding consciousness and understanding the process of our mind as it pertains to existentialism. Although the music revolves heavily around introspection and self-reflection, this is also coupled with the importance of aesthetics and groove.
Creating music both intellectual and visceral, STELLAR CIRCUITS is nothing short of a vehicle – transporting the listener to places both chaotic and cathartic.
