Circle II Circle is an American heavy metal band formed by former Savatage singer Zak Stevens .
history
In 2000, Zak Stevens left Savatage to initially devote himself only to his family. But a little later he wanted to get back into the music business. He asked his friend and former mentor Jon Oliva to help him with a new project. In 2003 the debut album Watching in Silence appeared , to which Jon Oliva and Chris Caffery contributed some songs. In 2004 work began on the second album, The Middle of Nowhere , again with the help of Oliva and Caffery. In 2006 Burden of Truth appeared , this time without Oliva's participation. In 2008 Delusions of Grandeur is released, also without the collaboration with Jon Oliva, as this wanted to concentrate on his solo album. Delusions of Grandeur is also the first Circle II Circle album that is not a concept album. On December 6th, 2011 it was announced on the website that Andy Lee is back as a permanent member of the band. At the same time, Circle II Circle split from Rollie Feldmann and Johnny Osbourn due to personal reasons. Jayson Moore was found as the new drummer.
