"Isolate", the sophomore album from Circus Maximus, entered the Norwegian chart at position No. 70 (No. 33 on the chart featuring only Norwegian artists).

Released in the U.S. on September 4 via Sensory Records, "Isolate"'s lyrical concept deals with "how much you can lose until you go completely mad, and how much have lost when insanity finally embraces you," the group recently said. "It's really up to the listener (and reader ...) to interpret the story themselves, because it can be understood in different ways and we don't want to spoil the surprise."

Circus Maximus released its critically acclaimed debut album, "The First Chapter", in 2005 via Frontiers Records.
