Shadow Circus

Shadow Circus are a dark progressive hard rock band based in the U.S. The band was founded by guitarist /songwriter John Fontana and singer/lyricist David Bobick in 2006. Their most recent lineup includes former members of Devin Townsend Project (drummer Ryan Van Poederooyen) and Pain of Salvation/Meshuggah (Gustaf Hielm). The name was inspired by the Ray Bradbury novel Something Wicked This Way Comes, which portrayed a dark, supernatural circus.

Combining metal, prog, and shock rock, their lyrics are often inspired by horror, dark fantasy, and inner life experiences portrayed through macabre story telling. 

Their most recent album, From the Shadows, marks a new era for the band. After a decade-long hiatus, the album finds the band rejuvenated by an all-star lineup, elevated musicianship, and a powerful, evolved new sound.
