STELLAR CIRCUITS dropped one of the year’s best progressive metal records earlier this summer, with Sight To Sound. Now the band returns with a music video for the fan-favorite track ‘Alchemy,’ just ahead of their US tour.
Commenting on ‘Alchemy,’ the band states:
“‘Alchemy’ was one of the last songs we finished for this album. It was something that came together fairly quickly and at the end of the process, it just felt like it was right. It ended up becoming a love letter to songwriting and the creative process.”
‘Alchemy’ is the latest in a string of singles from Sight To Sound, following the explosive tracks ‘Pleasure Cruise,’ ‘Witch House’ and ‘Catch Your Death,’ which have further established STELLAR CIRCUITS as one of the most innovative and captivating bands to break out this year.
Fans in the US can witness STELLAR CIRCUITS’ progressive mayhem this Oct/Nov as the band kicks off their month long trek with ARCH ECHO. European fans can follow suit with the band arriving on their shores in February 2024. Tickets for all shows are available now at https://stellarcircuits.com/shows.

About STELLAR CIRCUITS:
Formed in 2015, Stellar Circuits emerged to combine the conceptual polarities of groove-oriented music with progressive-minded technicality. Over the quartet’s lifespan, they’ve managed to fulfill their own prophecy, formulating a core sound that is complex and layered, while providing a listenability that extends well beyond the rock genre. Visceral, intellectual, groovy, technical, and melodious are rarely indicators that can all be used to describe the aural essence of one band. In the case of Stellar Circuits, the rare combination makes a striking and definitive appearance in all they do.
The Winston-Salem, NC foursome followed their 2015 debut EP with their first full-length album in 2018. Ways We Haunt would be recorded with North Carolina’s own Jamie King (Between The Buried And Me, He Is Legend), a legend in his own right, bringing his signature touch to Stellar Circuits’ first long form release.
Generating significant attention, especially from the band’s more veteran industry peers, Stellar Circuits would go on to be invited as special guests on Chevelle’s 2021 N.I.R.A.T.I.A.S. tour. Completing a nationwide trek that introduced Stellar Circuits to a significantly broader audience, the foursome immediately saw their fanbase increase exponentially, prompting a shift in their attention to a new record with which they could continue to build on the solid foundation they had since established.
Sight to Sound, Stellar Circuits’ sophomore release, sees the band working once again with Jamie King to convey their growth and expansion on what they do best. Vocalist frontman Ben Beddick highlights the forward momentum, relaying how the band “wanted to push past the point of comfort when writing this music. To make something real and honest that we can all stand by.”
Released in 2023 via Nuclear Blast Records, Sight to Sound expands upon the progressive and groove-centric nature of the band; combining a heaviness, a catchiness, and strength of composition with technical proficiency that results in Stellar Circuits’ most polished release to date. Vocalist Ben Beddick further expands on the writing process and the record’s trajectory, marking a “turning point around the beginning of the writing process that steered us toward a particular conceptual direction. Moving closer to an understanding of the perception of our senses. This record is meant to serve as a sort of invocation. A sense of qualia. The term ‘synesthesia’ comes to mind…”.
Comprised of vocalist Ben Beddick, bassist Jesse Olsen, guitarist Jared Stamey and drummer Tyler Menon, the North Carolina quartet produce an effective and unparalleled coalescence that will undoubtedly excite new listeners while more than satisfying long-term followers. Featuring 11 original tracks that are poised to impress even the most discerning of aficionados, Sight to Sound puts the global music landscape on notice that Stellar Circuits has definitively arrived.
