BIOGRAPHY
Circlefest is a modern metal band from Helsinki, Finland, blending heavy riffs, catchy melodies, and strong emotional expression. Their sound moves at the intersection of metal, pop, and electronic influences, creating a distinctive and contemporary sonic identity.
The band’s music explores personal themes such as growth, inner conflict, and survival. Circlefest is characterized by a melodic approach where heaviness and sensitivity coexist, with each song building its own atmosphere from intimate moments to powerful intensity.
Their debut single “Teardrops”, released in 2024, introduced the band’s sound and marked the starting point for their upcoming releases. More recent tracks such as “Disaster” and “Heartbeat” further develop their expression and reinforce their recognizable, melodic, and modern style.
The band has worked with renowned metal producer Euge Valovirta (Cyhra, Suburban Tribe). Vocal production on the first releases was handled by Jake E (ex-Amaranthe, Cyhra), while the latest releases feature vocal production by Lauri Hämäläinen, adding more power and depth to the band’s sound.
Circlefest is steadily building its identity, refining its sound into an increasingly strong and distinctive whole while aiming to reach a wider audience.
