Mystic Circle

Mystic Circle is a German black metal band formed in Ludwigshafen, în 1992.

History

Mystic Circle was formed in 1992 in Ludwigshafen.[1] They released several EPs before their debut LP was issued in 1997. Following their 1998 release they toured with Marduk and Old Man's Child and played several large rock festivals.[1] After their 1999 release Infernal Satanic Verses, their original drummer, Aarrrgon, left the group, and they had to use a drum machine to complete their tour.[1]

By 2007, Beelzebub had left the band to pursue another long-awaited project called Gloomball. It was unknown at first whether Mystic Circle would replace Beelzebub and trudge on, or call it quits, but Beelzubub stated on his personal Myspace page that Mystic Circle was "history".[2]

As of 2021, Mystic Circle is active again, and they will release its eponymous eighth studio album, the band's first in 16 years, on February 4, 2022.[3]
