Deadly Circus Fire is a four-piece English progressive metal band from London. Formed in early 2009, the group's line-up includes guitarist Save Addario, drummer Paul Igoe, vocalist Adam Grant and bassist Mike Enort. The 2010 launch of Deadly Circus Fire's first self-titled EP, has seen the band favoured by critics for balancing musically and rhythmically complex compositions with a distinctly accessible sound. == History == After completing his music studies in Rome, Save Addario moved to London. Shortly after, he met Paul Igoe who just moved from Ireland, to continue his drumming education, the two instantly sparked up a friendship. Both of them wanted to create a band that was both against the grain of the traditional and mainstream, but also accessible and inspiring. So, the search was on for the remaining members of this yet unnamed collaboration. They searched for almost a year for a bassist that would be both suitable and passionate for the music they played. It turned out the person they found who fitted the bill, a guy named Mike Enort who lived ten miles away from Save’s home in Italy. After some choice words he left everything behind him and ventured to London to continue his musical journey. Now they looked immediately for a singer. Auditions commenced, rappers, country n’ western singers, choir girls and hundreds more tried out but nothing worked. Eventually the guys stumbled upon a Kerrang advert posted by a person called Adam Grant. An audition was organised, and like before the guys weren’t too hopeful of its outcome, especially when an ‘Oliver Twist’ looking fellow walked through the door. The boys tuned up their guitars and started to play, Adam armed without a microphone started to improvise over the music, and within a matter of seconds they knew that they had found their vocalist. Being the son of well renowned voice-over artist, Gary Martin, Adam’s vocal abilities were not to be taken lightly. In less than a year of their formation they have written many a song, five of which have been recorded for their self-titled EP, Deadly Circus Fire, a band name the guys felt strongly about having. The EP itself was written, recorded, mixed, mastered and illustrated in its entirety by the band. The EP has received favourable coverage and reviews across most media, with the UK's Prog Magazine, SoundOnSound Magazine, TotalRock Radio "this is REALLY good stuff, clever pounding Prog Rock", Whotune Radio Australia " Awesome, such an original sound, great journey", Best Of Myspace "Proper chugga chugga scary prog metal with more angry energy than a weighted bag of kittens by a river in angry drunk's hand". Multiple tracks off The EP have been played on TotalRock Radio, Whotune Radio Australia and Gateway FM. Their sound is a best described as a diverse composition of the raw and the melodic, and has been compared to bands such as Tool, Mastodon and Deftons. They have ranked 1st on both the progressive and metal charts on Myspace Uk in 2010. Deadly Circus Fire have performed at the Hammerfest on 17 March 2011 and at the Bloodstock Open Air Metal Festival on the Sophie Lancaster stage on 13 August 2011, where although the band was hugely delayed by technical faults they turned their near-disaster into soundscaped triumph with an emotive display of showmanship and musical ability.
