Circle of Magi is the 2nd full length album from Belgium's Grotto. Grotto started after 3 friends joined forces to create heavy riffs and psychedelic vibes. Fully paid-up members of Belgium's rapidly-growing stoner rock scene, Flanders three-piece Grotto came together after meeting at the inaugural edition of Antwerp's Desertfest prompting a series of heavily improvised late-night jam sessions resulting in their August 2015 debut EP, Odyssean. Having honed their craft with a series of high-tensile live shows, the band released their full-length debut, Smokonomicon in 2016.

Circle Of Magi serves up a brooding, psychedelic sludge-rock opus comprised of four heavy slabs of pummeling percussion and textured riffage which takes its cues from the likes of Mastodon, Elder and Neurosis. Propelled by the thunderous rhythm section of Jeroen Moerman (bass) and Arno Tucker Cottyn (drums), Circle Of Magi is an album that digs in, shifts and contorts within the mind long after initial listen, or in the words of the band themselves: “It's a huge earth-shifting event inspired by thunderous weather and an uprising of giants and gollums.”
