Circumventor is a Sicilian band playing a distinctive and original style of symphonic black metal with progressive and experimental touches. Active since 1995, they released a few demos in the mid-90s, with their activity culminating in the "Norton X" sessions. "Norton X" was recorded and mixed in April 1999 for promotional purposes only and was never released to the public. After this album, produced simultaneously with the demo "Deceptive Superior Dreams", Circumventor returned to the realm of shadow, waiting for the wind to bring them back.
