Circus of Rock: New Album Hellfire Out June 30, 2025 – Watch the “Hellfire” Video

Author Marko Syrjälä - 29.5.2025

Lions Pride Music proudly unveils Hellfire, the blazing new album from Finnish hard rock juggernaut Circus Of Rock, helmed by veteran drummer and multi-platinum artist Mirka “Leka” Rantanen. Slated for global release on June 30, 2025, this marks a fiery new chapter for the project.

Known for his legacy with ThunderstoneKing Company, and more, Rantanen originally launched Circus Of Rock as a studio project, enlisting a star-studded roster of guest vocalists on Come One, Come All (2021) and Lost Behind the Mask (2023).

Now, with legendary vocalist Mark Boals (Yngwie Malmsteen, Ring of Fire, Dokken) joining full-time, the project has transformed into a powerhouse live band. Their chemistry—previously showcased on Lost Behind the Mask and Red Ravyn—sparks a new era.

The Hellfire lineup is stacked with Finnish talent:

  • Samuli Federley – Guitar
  • Vesa Virtanen – Guitar
  • Jari Pailamo – Keyboards
  • JJ Hjelt – Bass

With hard-hitting tracks like “The Great Evil,” “Broken Pieces” (ft. Alessandro Del Vecchio), and the soaring anthem “Hellfire,” the album delivers tight, melodic hard rock that’s punchy, infectious, and undeniably explosive.

Rantanen shared his thoughts on the upcoming album: “Circus Of Rock has found a new home at Lions Pride Music, and with a solidified lineup and the powerful new album Hellfire, we’re ready to bring our brand of melodic hard rock to fans around the world — both on record and on stage.”
