Released in 2017 on Greg Anderson's legendary Southern Lord label, Terminal is the 32nd studio album by the legendary Finnish psych-rock pioneers, Circle. Far from being a typical retro-rock record, this album is a mind-bending, six-track journey that seamlessly fuses the hypnotic pulse of 1970s krautrock, the heavy sludge of Black Sabbath, and the raw swagger of The Stooges. The most thrilling hook for your first listen is the wild vocal acrobatics of frontman Mika Rättö, who dramatically shifts from theatrical, high-pitched classic rock wails to deep death-metal growls, occasionally sounding like a demonic priest leading an occult ritual. Known for decades as the eccentric "madmen of Pori" who used to perform in spandex and sing in a completely invented language called Meronian, Circle breaks new ground here by using real lyrics in Finnish and even delivering a doom-blues closer in English on Sick Child. Turn up the volume, abandon all expectations, and prepare for a brilliant, unpredictable trip into one of modern underground rock's most fiercely original minds.
