Lyrics:
Locked in a room
They think I’ve lost my mind
Yet they can’t see
The horrors yet to be
I try to warn them
Of beasts of old
They’ve come to claim
It’s been foretold
The Chaos Vector
It keeps me close
A curse of mind
The Chaos Vector
Lost in endless nightmares
No time to sleep
Their gaze already set
They don’t believe
Broken nails streak blood
White walls no more
The shocks bring them
Closer to my soul
It’s not insanity
It’s fear of darkness
If they won’t listen
Carve it into the walls
Tearing down my mind
The black virus is spreading
My flesh will be
A testament to the end
I try to drown them out
Their persistence
Never yielding
I see theme lurking
The sedatives silence
Visions of
What we summoned
Piece by piece
I become less
The flesh grows tainted It’s easier to pick off
This one will be
A chaos vector
Spreading the will
Of the Elder Gods
Locked in a room
They thought I’d lost my mind
They didn’t see
The horror I would be
For I was touched
By beasts of old
They came to feast
It was foretold
The Chaos Vector
It keeps me close
A curse of mind
The Chaos Vector
Summoner’s Circle’s third full-length album Chaos Vector is being released this year and they have left no detail out. Accompanying the album is a Lovecraft-style cosmic horror short story written by the band where each chapter correlates to a song. This story marks a new chapter in The Lore Of The Six and sets a foundation for them conceptually moving forward. The first single off this release is the title track.
The single was intentionally written as a shorter song because they needed an extra short song for their set on the 2019 Hexed Tour with Children Of Bodom. It was well-received on tour and they felt the chaotic nature and strong hook made it an obvious choice as the first single for the album. They continue to explain:
«Given the worldly turmoil of 2020, Chaos Vector seemed apropos to choose as the title track of the album. The drums for this song were originally written by Yanic Bercier of Gone in April and Quo Vadis and were performed on this album by our current drummer, Invictus, who still performs the original Bercier beats. Yanic Bercieralso appears in the music video as the drummer for this song. Chaos Vector tells the story of a man who has been driven mad through his practices in the occult. And while he tries tirelessly to warn others of the impending doom he wrought upon this world; he is only perceived as a madman sounding off».
This album was conceived over two years ago, but the global turmoil slowed down its creation. Now that it is ready for release, the band couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. They are eager to share with fans their love of storytelling and cosmic horror in a concept album that vocalist Blind has been percolating since their formation in 2015. They say that they have scratched every creative itch with this record, and hope fans get the same satisfaction from it.

Let the Summoning Begin…
Summoner’s Circle is a six-piece theatrical metal band that blends elements of doom, death, black and progressive metal into what they refer to as simplyeEpic Metal.
For the band, every song in an incantation, every live performance is a Summoning, and everything they do is tied intrinsically to the mythology, or lore, they have created. The lore tells the story of the band’s origins, battles of divine conquest and showcases their creativity and vision, which sets the stage for a very entertaining live performance where bigger is better, and Epic is always the standard.
The Summoners released their first EP, entitled First Summoning, in late 2015. This was followed in 2016 by the single, Become None, and its B-side, Minotaur, both of which are included on their debut full-length release entitled Tome, which was released in June of 2018.
In May of 2019, Tome was repackaged and released as Become None via the Pavement Entertainment label.
In the spring of 2019, Summoner’s Circle joined Children of Bodom, Swallow The Sun and Wolfheart as part of Bodom’s Hexed North American Tour, gaining many new fans and excellent reviews.
In June of 2019, the Six signed a worldwide management deal with Extreme Management Group, Inc. who also manages Suffocation, Cattle Decapitation, Misery Index and many others.
«Summoner’s Circle full-length debut gets near the 75-minute mark, and yet it succeeds in balancing complexity, heaviness, catchiness, mystery and melodrama to make sure its duration does not become overwhelming. a almost perfect record …especially its flawless production and its tight, inventive songwriting».- Metal Temple
«Summoner’s Circle is the kind of band you go your whole life hoping to hear and when you finally do it’s even better than you expected. They are the culmination of a lifetime spent listening to music and finally finding something that fits where nothing else has. Plus, brutality aside, they’re just a fantastic group of otherworldly beings». – Josh Martin 94.3 WNFZ
