Tampa-based power-prog six-piece Circle II Circle have been prolific envelope-pushers since 2003. Reign of Darkness, due out October 16 on earMUSIC, is their seventh album in 12 years, for god’s sake. Vocalist Zak Stevens (formerly of Savatage) keeps the intensity maxed in the lyric video to the new album’s epic (as if we could utilize any other adjective) “Ghost of the Devil.” Look inside the curse of creation for the source of damnation below, then pre-order the record here.
