In 2000, Zircon emerged as one of Massachusetts' most promising Black/Death metal bands, playing several high-profile shows including opening for Mayhem, Dark Funeral, Cryptopsy and the 2001 New England Metal & Hardcore Festival. However, various circumstances caused Zircon to disband just as the group was starting to take off. In 2004, Scott (guitar/vocals) and Eric (drums) re-formed Zircon, asking Chris (bass) to fill the void left by original bassist Joel. A few months later, Jay (guitar) moved back to Massachusetts and rejoined Zircon to complete the lineup.
In 2007 Oak Knoll Productions is releasing our first CD "Vastlands" as a split with New York black metal band Nephillim.
Zircon was one of four nominees for the "Best Metal Act" in the 2006 Worcester Music Awards, sponsored by The Pulse magazine.
Recent live appearances include shows with Necrophagist, 1349, Goatwhore, Unleashed, Enslaved, Dark Funeral, Belphegor, Immolation, Vital Remains, Six Feet Under, Decapitated, Krisiun, Cattle Decapitation & 2 back-to-back shows with Cryptopsy.

Report: August 2009 In the late 80's and mid 90's Seattle USA produced a music scene which took the world by storm. Years later music has gone full circle and NOW a new thriving music scene in the UNITED KINGDOM is Erupting.
I'm Nick J.Townsend of WEAK13, also an underground music journalist, columnist and radio show presenter. For the last 6 months bands and crowds are flocking to a place called Stourbridge in England. Venues there are opening doors to bands. Music engineers, promoters, small labels, Bands and music fans are going to Stourbridge. One of the next big nights there has LAST UNDER THE SUN, THE ROCKET DOLLS, MASTER WARBEAST & WPAPPED IN PLASTIC all playing at BASE STUDIOS on FRIDAY AUGUST 28TH. The venue can be found on www.basestudios1.co.uk I'll be there offering radioplay to bands that need it.
The radio show can be heard here http://www.basementsound.co.uk/radio/BSRadio.php I plug bands from Brazil, Portugal, Sweden, USA, Australia, UK. Get on the show and contact producer 'Murph' on team@basementsound.co.uk
I grew up with some of the best music in the world and 15 years later only now am I starting to hear original bands make good music again. The venues are now becoming full again. This may never happen again for another 15 years. Now is the time. People will decide what music will be popular in the S'bridge scene. Seattle had grunge. Which genre will get big first?
I am sorry its not always possible to get by friends' pages as much these days,,,its hard to keep up sometimes, but you were never forgotten in the midst,,,,,Just wanted to check up on you and see how things are going for you and what's happening with you. May you be well and have a rockin' Monday
How are you? Just trying to gather opinions on our music. If you aren't busy, please come by our page and let us know what you think! Thanks for your time! Horns and Hails!
