CIRCLES have been hard at work promoting their brand of Australian metal worldwide, basking in worldwide press attention since the release of their critically acclaimed debut EP 'The Compass' in May 2011. Throughout 2012 the band have been on the road touring whilst also creating and writing much of their new material.

The result is a debut album that is set to take the band into previously unchartered waters with a fresh sound that is uniquely Circles. Mixing up cutting edge production techniques and innovative progressive metal that pushes the boundaries of the listeners experience, the album is dripping with melody throughout, with hidden elements of electronica , topped off with some of the finest vocal delivery since Mike Patton's lungs arrived on the musical landscape.

Circles debut album will be released on Basick Records in Spring 2013.

She likes to hide. Experimenting with Invert. Still don't get when to use it and when not to. Two disparate images used here. Forgot to write down the blend mode.

108 small squares and nested circles. The magenta circles are the same distance across as the small squares. The blue squares are twice that, and the white circles are three across.

The circle consists of 38 unworked, differently shaped stones, up to three metres high and weighing 16 tonnes, most of which are made of slate. They face the smoother side inwards. Some had toppled over. Originally there were 42 stones that formed an oval with a diameter of around 70.0 metres. A 3.3 metre wide area at the northern end of the circle, formed by two large stones, probably served as the entrance. In 1853, the remains of three burial mounds were discovered in the stone circle.

The circle was probably built around 3200 BC, making it one of the earliest stone circles in Britain. It is also a very popular site, especially after the arrival of the railway in nearby Keswig, bringing daytrippers from the industrial north. As a reaction to visitors chipping of fragments from the stones as souvenirs, Castlerigg became a protected monument by law already in 1882.

Nevertheless, some parents still see the stones as a children's playground.

Circle sculpture by Richard Farrington on the Cleveland Way at Huntcliff, Saltburn.

This is also known as The Great Charm Bracelet. The pieces represent the Cleveland Bay Horse, a cat for nearby Cat Nab, Thor's Hammer for the Viking settlers, a mermaid's purse and other sea life, pigeon fancying and the Merman at Skinningrove, and possibly a torch for the Roman signal station but it could be a belemnite!

Legend says that friends would gather around the fire and share their hearts. They would each speak of the good qualities in each other. They shared memories while the embers faded, their friendship was sealed bringing them closer together and bringing good luck.
