Stone Circle formed in 2004 with Joe Ashwin (Lead Guitar/Vocals), James Pearce (Bass) & Sam Hill (drums), the lineup was then completed when Tom Skelton (Rhythm Guitars) in 2005. Over this time the band developed their sound into the progressive metal that they play today, inspired by Opeth, Katatonia, Morbid Angel, Gojira, Amorphis and more. In 2008 Stone Circle recorded their first E.P - Parchment with Dominic Young (well known for being the live sound technician for Sikth). After a relocation to Brighton to study music, the band then worked on their first full length album in 2009, which was recorded with Dominic Young in October of 2009. The album “Myth” was released at the end of 2010 through “Glasstone Records”. Additionally Stone Circle featured on the Brighton Institute of Modern Music album “Whats in your head: Volume II”, being the first band of the genre to be included on the institutions showcase album. Now with the recording of their second album complete and music video underway it promises to be an exciting year.
