The year 2007 saw the demise of one of Germany’s most  famous and infamous extreme metal bands, MYSTIC  CIRCLE. After seven unholy albums, mega tours with the  likes of such luminaries as MARDUK, GORGOROTH, and  DIMMU BORGIR and endless media exposure, the only  remaining founding member, Beelzebub, decided to leave  the band. The devil, however, is in the details: a closer  look reveals that the black heart of MYSTIC CIRCLE  actually stopped beating years before in 1999, in fact,  when A. Blackwar fled the band and left behind a host of  unfulfilled nightmares. Twenty-two years after going their  separate paths, the visionary heads of MYSTIC CIRCLE  have reunited continuing right where they left off in 1999.  It’s a blasphemous comeback, a renewed pact with the  devil, and a return to form with their old logo, fury in their  hearts, and fresh darkness in their souls! 

»Mystic Circle« is a blazing black/death metal manifesto  of Swedish provenance; a possessed recalibration of their  ever melodic, sinister, aggressive trademark sound.  “Technical possibilities available today allow us to realize  this band the way it was always meant to be,” A. Blackwar  states. “Maybe time wasn’t ripe for us back then; maybe  we were there too early. But it doesn’t matter: we’re  back! The songs pick up the threads right after »Infernal  Satanic Verses« and showcase how the band was  supposed to progress.”

Listen closely and you will even notice that the outro of  »Infernal Satanic Verses« is directly morphing into the  intro of »Mystic Circle« by the blackest of magic, it is as if  two-plus decades haven’t gone by. 

No wonder this black mass is wholly wallowing in the grim  and majestic aura of the 90’s: Unholy, sublime anthems  like ‘Belial Is My Name’ or ‘Letters From The Devil’ will  leave listeners speechless in their grim determination.  “We didn’t want to reinvent the wheel. We simply wanted  to pay tribute to the 90’s, crowned by a modern and  massive production,” A. Blackwar explains. “We went as  far back as our very first demo »Dark Passion« from 1994  for inspiration.” 

The result is emblematic for a legendary band, staged  with gravitas, sincerity, and burning passion. “I withdrew  from the metal scene and didn’t pay attention to any  developments,” Beelzebub adds. “Looking back, this  might have been a good idea because the songs came  together void of any outside influence whatsoever. We  realized that the music we do is part of our DNA.” 

A lot of dark years have passed since 1999. This is not only apparent in the muscular and stunningly heavy  production of the unofficial follow-up to »Infernal  Satanic Verses«. It’s also their more direct, pithy  approach to songwriting and arrangements that shows  the passage of time. “We have become older, hopefully  wiser but also more critical of ourselves,” states A.  Blackwar. “We both have to be 100 percent into it or  else we don’t do it.” As of yet, the destination of this  ghost ship remains unknown. One thing is clear,  however: MYSTIC CIRCLE are back. And will surprise the  metal world with this blackened banger. Notes  Beelzebub in closing, “We’re incredibly proud of this  record. We wanted to give it a try once again and have  drawn fresh blood.” Hell can wait.
