SAMMY HAGAR Offers First Taste Of Upcoming THE CIRCLE Album

Sammy Hagar has uploaded a short clip of him listening to a song from the upcoming first album of all-original material from THE CIRCLE, his critically acclaimed supergroup also featuring Michael Anthony, Jason Bonham and Vic Johnson,

The former VAN HALEN frontman used used the hashtag “#lastsongonrecord” in the Instagram post previewing the track, suggesting that the tune in question is the album closer.

Bonham told Sonic Perspectives in a recent interview that THE CIRCLE‘s upcoming disc is a “concept kind of album” that needs to be listened to “in a specific order, which kind of tells the story.”

The drummer added that Hagar has “been really inspired as of late, and I think it’s gonna be some of his best stuff. It’s definitely diverse,” he said. “As I said, when you listen to it in the order… It’s gonna be an incredible… What he wanted to do was do something very different than he’s ever done, which is send you on a journey, like the old days. When you put on an album, you listened to it from start to finish instead of just a song — where the placement of each [song] is vital for it to make sense.”

THE CIRCLE released a concert album, “At Your Service”, in May 2015. Recorded on tour in 2014, it features live performances of hits from Sammy‘s four decades of rock (MONTROSE, solo, VAN HALEN, THE WABORITAS, CHICKENFOOT) as well as classic tracks from the LED ZEPPELIN catalog.
