Circus Of Rock To Release Their Debut Album ‘Come One, Come All’

circus of rock new lp circus of rock mirka rantanen Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce that the release of ‘Come One, Come All’, the debut album by Circus Of Rock, a massive new project masterminded by King Company drummer Mirka Rantanen [pictured] will be released 6th August 2021.

‘Come One, Come All’ boasts a killer line-up of guest singers and musicians, with the talents involved coming from groups such as Amaranthe, Tyketto, Hardline, Nightwish, Leverage, Stratovarius, Brother Firetribe and Masterplan.

Rantanen had been thinking about recording a solo album for some time, but not in a traditional sense, opining that ”People often think a solo album is mainly to allow the musicians to show off their magnificent skills and instruments. However, I wanted to focus more on the great songs that don’t happen to have extra drum solos. I also wanted to include fantastic colleagues with whom I have played over the years, as well as some great guest singers. My intention was to get an album released in 2021, when I turn 50 and this milestone is to happen thanks to Frontiers.”
