Deadly Circus Fire is a four-piece English progressive metal band from London. Formed in early 2009,[1] the group's line-up includes guitarist Save Addario, drummer Paul Igoe, vocalist Adam Grant and bassist Mike Enort.

The 2010 launch of Deadly Circus Fire's first self-titled EP, was positively received by critics.

History

After completing his music studies in Rome, Save Addario moved to London. Shortly after, he met Paul Igoe who had just moved from Ireland to continue his drumming education. They decided to form a band that would not be traditional and mainstream, yet be accessible and inspiring. So, they began searching for the bassist and lead vocalist of their unnamed collaboration.

The search for a bassist lasted almost a year. They struggled to find a bassist that would be both suitable and passionate for the music they played. Eventually, they found Mike Enort, who lived near Save’s home in Italy. After Enort joined, the group began focusing on finding a vocalist, without initial success. Eventually, the two noticed a Kerrang advertisement posted by Adam Grant. An audition was organised, and the band was not hopeful because of how bad the previous auditions had been. Grant, without a microphone, started to improvise over the guitar music, and the band knew that they had finally found their vocalist.

In less than a year of their formation they had written many songs, five of which were recorded for their EP, Deadly Circus Fire, which the became the band's name. The EP itself was written, recorded, mixed, mastered, and illustrated in its entirety by the band.

The EP received favourable coverage and reviews across most media, with the UK's Prog Magazine,[2] SoundOnSound Magazine,[3] TotalRock Radio "this is REALLY good stuff, clever pounding Prog Rock",[4] Whotune Radio Australia " Awesome, such an original sound, great journey",[5] Best Of Myspace "Proper chugga chugga scary prog metal with more angry energy than a weighted bag of kittens by a river in angry drunk's hand".[6] Multiple tracks off The EP were played on TotalRock Radio, Whotune Radio Australia and Gateway FM.

Deadly Circus Fire performed at the Hammerfest on 17 March 2011 and at the Bloodstock Open Air Metal Festival on the Sophie Lancaster stage on 13 August 2011. Although the band was delayed by technical faults, they still performed with a display of showmanship and musical ability.[7]

The band unveiled through Metal Hammer (February 2012 issue) the title of their debut album, "The King and the Bishop". a ten track album divided into two chapters.
