kingfossil Many bands nowadays wave the flag of being influenced by Blue Öyster Cult, but Chris Black and the Circle crew in fact are just this to the point. Very catchy, yet spooky! Favorite track: Something Nasty.
Paul Schwarz

Paul Schwarz Fusion of Hawkwind in the 90s, CB's finest work, Circle/Pharoah Overload/Falcon leanings and a smell as fresh as a summer ham all of its own. Favorite track: Never-Ending No.
Andrew Lovell

Andrew Lovell A pearler from the new oyster cult. This is the type of thing musicians from the retro genre strive for; a collection of great tunes that is not just a homage to a bygone age but a fucking grand celebration of perfect rock and roll. Favorite track: Stop Fooling Around.
Michael Lorz

Michael Lorz Surprisingly good and innovative Retro/Prog/Rock! Very 'easy' to listen to and very entertaining, with a lot of great ideas! GIVE IT A CHANCE! Favorite track: Six Silver Suns.
Fernando Benítez

Fernando Benítez I've always admired Chris Black, such a metal genius- not many of 'em left! And his pairing with these weirdos is perfect for my bong/happy mood nights. Have you heard of Circle, Pharaoh Overlord or Falcon? Well, Aktor's the same band. We're talking trad metal-hard rock meets kraut/psyche prog, folks. Imagine someone in Neu!, Kraftwerk or even Can joining Aldo Nova or Zebra HA! and, hell, it works nicely!! Favorite track: I Was the Son of God.

One more devil in my room today I’m afraid it might be me I don’t think that it’s too soon to say Hey, maybe it oughta be I have seen the maps of hell And I studied well My sound gonna drag me down All night to the underground Coming in from another town And still they follow me around I have seen them too I have seen them too One more doctor in my room today And from underneath his hood I think I can hear him whispering No, it’s not looking good ‘Cause it’s happening again Take me to the end My sound gonna drag me down All night to the underground Coming in from another town And still they follow me around I have seen them too I have seen them too I have seen them too I have seen them too

Gone Again 03:53
Fallen far from reality This haunted me That should not be No escape from within my mind I was left behind Like every other time I don’t know if I’m sleeping now I just crawl around with no way out This is all that’s left for me An endless dream… Insanity I have a vision now Did you bring the key? If you won’t let me out I can never leave Like a single beam of light I can see the eye above you And it’s closing for the night Gone again I hear a voice that I understand That no one can It guides my hand I see a face from a future ward While moving toward the unexplored I don’t know who has left me here For one more year For my head to clear Will I try once again tonight Will I touch the eye Or be left to die I have a vision now Did you bring the key? If you won’t let me out I can never leave Like a single beam of light I can see the eye above you As it’s closing for the night I’m no longer dreaming of you Like a single beam of light I can see the eye above you And it’s closing for the night Gone again
3.
Every nerve alive No more captive of the mind One more lucky strike Fighting on through the night And I’m watching you I see everything No one touches you And you lose everything Stop fooling around Stop fooling around Stop fooling around Stop fooling around As you hit the ground See what you have done No one stayed around Help will never come But I’ll be watching you I won’t miss anything No one touches you And you lose everything Stop fooling around Stop fooling around Stop fooling around Stop fooling around
4.
Up late tonight to write a letter to the dead Come down and preach to all the astronauts instead Take back the lies you told when you were on the stone Go back in time to all those nights you worked alone Did you know Did you know Did you know Did you know Pressed against your fear you lie awake in bed There’s something watching from the ceiling overhead Just as the twilight burns the truth is coming out Like a serpent slowly twisting from your mouth Here comes the sun again Too young to die You ducked the gun again Too young to die Here comes the day again Too young to die You found your way again Too young to die Did you know Did you know Did you know Did you know Can’t stand to feel it in your guts another night Can’t stand to look another dead man in the eye Here comes the sun again Too young to die You ducked the gun again Too young to die Here comes the day again Too young to die You found your way again Too young to die
5.
Six are the ways to walk the morning sky Six are the days until we die Six holy spells we dare to speak aloud Six tolling bells to warn the crowd Up above the skies Six electric eyes Six silver suns will shine today Six silver suns to light the way Six are the candles that forever burn Six are the lands of no return Six rivers running to an empty well Six pilgrims reach the gates to hell Up above the skies Six electric eyes Six silver suns will shine today Six silver suns to light the way
6.
I dared to break the locks Inside that magic box And when the lights came on I was the son of god I’m not the me I used to be One more shadow on the wall Running out of me Sweet reality And I don’t need it much at all Oh no! I dared to raise the dead To let them live instead And when the world was gone I was the son of god I’m not the me I used to be One more shadow on the wall Running out of me Sweet reality And I don’t need it much at all
7.
Turned on the news today I heard the doctors say Here come those germs again You’d better wash those hands I’d like to think I’m living healthier than you But we both know That there’s a good chance that ain’t true If you’re not feeling well Your body starts to swell Go spend another night At the infection site You’d like to think There’s an exception just for you Then at the hospital There’s nothing they can do There’s something nasty on the way You’d better stay inside today There’s something nasty in the air You’d better stay away from everywhere There’s something nasty on the way You’d better stay inside today There’s something nasty in the air You’d better stay away from everywhere Oh from everywhere Oh from everywhere Nowhere to go Nowhere to go Nowhere to go
8.
Thinking back to the start There was fire in your heart You’ll never know How close you were When the real trouble starts When it all falls apart You vagabond Where have you gone Where is home For the cold and the grey Where is home For the lone runaway Nowhere to be found Final comedown As if you know your destiny Nowhere to be found Final meltdown As if you know your destiny With it all on the line And a mountain to climb You gave it all Tore down the walls But you wanted to stop Before reaching the top Let out a scream And fled the scene Where is home For the cold and the grey Where is home For the lone runaway Nowhere to be found Final comedown As if you know your destiny Nowhere to be found Final meltdown And you don’t know your destiny
9.
Let me tell you now About a fear of mine I’m afraid of us all And if I’m scared of you Bet you fear me too We must build a higher wall Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! There is shelter here So we can live in fear And wait for the word But while we hide inside Our power’s left to die We’ve lost control in the real world Time is moving slow In echoes of the never-ending no From down below a never-ending no The power of the never-ending no Time is moving slow In echoes of the never-ending no From down below a never-ending no The power of the never-ending no

The Mover 04:25
In the sunrise silence As you turn the key Will the day bring triumph What’s your destiny? Brave highway rider Or so you said Just one more driver Into the madness ahead Just ten more miles Then a thousand more Could stop for a while And unlock this door Maybe just keep moving Maybe disappear Is it all worth doing With the end so far from here? If you start seeing shadows When the nights are young Then it does not matter That you’ve lost the sun And now you wonder If the lightning’s real Did you just hear thunder Or are you sound asleep at the wheel? You’re the chosen one Now or never Do what must be done Chant forever Don’t take your eyes off the empty road Down through the night with a heavy load Don’t take your eyes off the empty road Down through the night with a heavy load
