Born from the shadows of cosmic horror and steeped in arcane ritual, Summoner’s Circle emerged from Knoxville, TN to immerse audiences in an experience as corrupted as it is beautiful. Drawing inspiration from the other-worldly terrors of Lovecraft, and influenced by titans such as Dimmu Borgir, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Dark Funeral, and Myrkur, Summoner’s Circle weaves a symphonic blend of progressive metal with a theatrical edge that sets them apart.
Their third full-length album, Cult, released in May 2024, is a testament to their ever-evolving craft and the band is already deep in the process of crafting their next stand-alone singles, pushing the boundaries of storytelling in metal.
A Summoner’s Circle performance is not just a show—it’s a journey through an ever-evolving experience. Each song is an incantation, each performance a Summoning, drawing the audience into a world where dark fantasy and religious iconography reign. Cloaked in dark hooded robes, the band transforms the stage into an altar, where the line between performer and spectator blurs.
With a debut international tour alongside Batushka, HATE, and Paradise in Flames in 2023, Summoner’s Circle has spread their incantations across the US and Europe. As they prepare for their third consecutive appearance at Metal Devastation Music Fest as part of their headlining ‘Velum Obscurum Tour’ the band remains focused on their ultimate goal: to elevate metal storytelling into an immersive, striking experience.
