After the fire....
Genre: progressive metal
Carcus Maximus is one of Norway's premier progressive metal bands, and "Havoc" is the follow-up to the critically acclaimed "Nine" from 2012.
Further exploring the vistas of melodic metal, Circus Maximus treat the listener to a collection of melodic tracks. The album has a distinctively modern sound, drawing on influences from as diverse sources as alternative rock/metal, pop rock, power metal, hard rock and new age rock a la U2. That is not to say that Circus Maximus have abandoned progressive metal. All tracks are dynamic in structure and feature impressive instrumental work, and the music is challenging in places without ever being inaccessible.
Fans of melodic metal and more emotional progressive metal should find this album quite appealing.
