about

The Afro Circus was founded at the start of the first Crusade by the Zoroastrians to help rejuvenate wounded soldiers of both the Templars and the Arabs. Founded on the beliefs that music heals both the soul and the body, and that all humanity was created to listen, regardless of creed or race, the Circus has survived in secret from one generation to the next, bringing healing where needed most.

GEPH

People like this keep prog rock alive and well. This trio displays real ambition and musicianship that is reminiscent of Rush, King Crimson and others, but is also distinctly their own. I look forward to more releases from them. Monstromax

Tentacles
by Stick Men

supported by 5 fans who also own “The Afro Circus presents: Journey to the Center of the Ear”

Another stellar release from this long-lived ensemble. Though the King Crimson influence is obvious & that comparison unavoidable, these guys have made many great recordings that can't be categorized as 'mere copies'. The perfect balance of aggressive riffing and serene soundscapes. Stephen Roberts

Nude is a funky opener that within seconds proves that power play is the suitable name for the album. Vairano

Curvature-Induced Symmetry... Breaking
by Pavlov3

supported by 5 fans who also own “The Afro Circus presents: Journey to the Center of the Ear”

This concept is on another level. The clever combination of styles and sounds within rock music provides with unusual diversity. The mastery over the instrumentation just adds up to the nigh-perfect sonic experience that is Pavlov3. Antonio Miranda
