Circa Infernum is a black metal band from Mexico City, Mexico, active since 2017. The band released their debut EP Noctem in 2017 and returned in 2025 with the singles Frost and Darkest Light, drawing on themes of mysticism. They remain unsigned and independent.
Circa Survive emerged from the Philadelphia scene in 2004, led by Anthony Green's ethereal vocals that float above intricate, atmospheric guitar work. Albums like 'Juturna' and 'On Letting Go' blended post-hardcore intensity with dreamy, psychedelic textures in a way that influenced a generation of bands. Green's prior work in Saosin only heightened anticipation, and Circa Survive rewarded it by creating some of the most emotionally resonant music in progressive post-hardcore.
Circadia is a heavy metal and hard rock band from Catriel, Río Negro, Argentina, drawing on classic 1980s and 1990s metal influences. The band has released recordings including the singles Leonidas and the EP Sucesos, building a following in the Patagonian underground metal scene.
Minneapolis doom/sludge band Circadian Ritual trade in slow, punishing dirges built on massive riffs and grinding repetition. Their music carries the cold, gray weight of a Minnesota winter stretched into sound.

Folk and power metal band from Valdepenas in Ciudad Real, Spain, active since 2003. With over two decades of history, Circe blend folk traditions with power metal from the La Mancha wine region.
Progressive death metal band from Seinajoki, Finland, formed in 2018. They merge progressive complexity with death metal intensity from the Ostrobothnian plains.
Richmond, Virginia black metal act Circle Breaker channel the rawness and fury of the underground into cold, aggressive recordings steeped in misanthropic atmosphere. Richmond's active extreme metal scene has shaped their direct, uncompromising approach.
Circle of Animals formed in Chicago around 2010 as a collaborative industrial metal project between Sanford Parker (Minsk, Nachtmystium) and Bruce Lamont (Yakuza), explicitly conceived as a tribute to the late-1980s and early-1990s Wax Trax! industrial scene. The project operates with a rotating cast of guest drummers, including Steve Shelley, Dave Witte, and John Herndon, while Parker and Lamont handle all other instrumentation. Their debut album Destroy the Light was released on Relapse Records in 2010.
