'''Callenish Circle''' was an [[extreme metal]] band from the [[Netherlands]]. They recorded three of their albums for [[Metal Blade Records]], and broke up in February 2007. In the early 2000s things were going well for the band. In 2002 they toured with [[God Dethroned]], played at the Dutch version of Ozzfest and the German Party San Open Air, and opened for [[Dimmu Borgir]]. Their fourth album was released by Metal Blade in 2003; to support it they played that year's [[Wacken Open Air]] and Summer Breeze festivals in Germany,<ref>[http://www.metalfan.nl/interviews.php?id=85 Metalfan.nl Interview: Callenish Circle]</ref> and in October they were part of the Bonded By Metal Over Europe-tour, headlined by [[Exodus (band)|Exodus]], [[Nuclear Assault]], and [[Agent Steel]]. In 2006 they toured Mexico (cited by the band as the high point of their career), before they decided to break up in 2007.<ref>[http://www.popinstituut.nl/Encyclopedia/Biography.aspx?id=9878&name=Callenish+Circle&lang=NL Callenish Circle (1992 - 2007) on Muziekcentrum Nederland] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090220092900/http://www.popinstituut.nl/Encyclopedia/Biography.aspx?id=9878&name=Callenish+Circle&lang=NL |date=2009-02-20 }}</ref>
