TESTIMONIALS

Promoting our own music has always been something we’ve struggled with/don’t really like to do. The Circle Pit was very helpful in that regard, very easy in communication, they care about pushing great music and we love seeing the responses.

The Circle Pit has been such an integral part of the Burial In The Sky team since the start of our working relationship with each other. The passion they have to get your music in front of new ears and eyes is unmatched.

Working with Mike and The Circle Pit has been a great experience, not only do they have a great audience that is introduced to your music they are super professional and really work hard to get you the best results. My EP definitely found a lot of new listeners thanks to them. 10/10 would recommend.

The Circle Pit was an invaluable part of the release of our debut EP. Beyond simply bringing our music to their substantial audience, and putting marketing resources behind it, new fans and listeners discovered us on all platforms as a result of being shared on The Circle Pit. They consistently went above and beyond with clear and timely communication, and helped facilitate a great lyric video to go alongside our release. I can definitively say that The Circle Pit was essential in getting our band off the ground and giving us the fanbase we needed to support our next endeavours.

HETEROMORPHIC ZOO

After using different music promotional platforms over the years we’ve wanted to try something new and The Circle Pit caught our eye as being relatively fresh but showing good results on their social media and YouTube. We dropped 2 premieres for 2 of the bands on our label and were surprised how smooth Mike from TCP was to work with and the result this promotion has brought. It was a great experience and I totally recommend The Circle Pit for your promotional needs! – Dimitri

I’d like to express my sincere gratitude for featuring “The Verdict” on your social media channels. As an up-and-coming artist, it can be incredibly challenging to gain exposure and reach new audiences, and your support has been invaluable in helping me to achieve my goals.

Your platform is an incredible resource for music lovers and industry professionals alike, and I am honored to have had the opportunity to share my work with your community. Your willingness to promote emerging artists and highlight innovative music is truly inspiring, and I cannot thank you enough for your support.

I have already seen a significant increase in views and engagement on my music video since it was featured on your page, and I am excited to see where this exposure will take me in the future. Your willingness to champion new and exciting music is a testament to your dedication to the art form, and I am honored to have been a part of it.

Once again, thank you so much for your support, and I look forward to continuing to follow and engage with your platform.

We’ve been working with the Circle Pit for years now and never had an unsuccessful campaign. These boys are legit and take music marketing seriously.

As a fairly new band, we’ve used The Circle Pit’s promotional pushes for several of our singles and media releases for our last EP. They’ve helped us with promoting guitar play throughs, lyric videos, and even our full EP stream. They’ve been a vital part of our EP roll out plan. They’ve helped us get more exposure and reach more ears during a time when playing shows as a form of promotion just isn’t a possibility. We highly recommend their services for new and upcoming bands.

The Circle Pit, TCP, is a STAPLE in the underground metal world. Without their help, Art of Attrition would not have gained so many new listeners and followers. They are affordable, honest, and keen on giving you a platform to share your music. Every view that your video gets is a legit person. We will continue to release with Mike and TCP. \M/

Art of attrition

The Circle Pit has always been an outlet that seeks to help the underground as its primary focus. Since their inception, they have selflessly helped so many with an upbeat and ego-free approach to their operation that is refreshing. As of late, their updated promotional approach is just another feather in their cap as they move forward.

As a longtime fan of the site’s passionate approach to helping the underdogs in the metal world, it’s nice to see that The Circle Pit has not strayed from what has made them so great after all these years. If anything, they continue to grow which is well deserved! The world needs more people like Mike, owner, and founder of The Circle Pit.

Thanks again for everything! Dealing with you was professional and efficent, 5/5 would recommend to anyone. Cheers!
In a genre as marginal as brutal death metal, it’s not easy to reach your target audience. Nevertheless, The Circle Pit did just that, totally exceeding our expectations. Our cooperation with TCP has been easy, pleasant and versatile, and it has provided us with good visibility on multiple platforms – just the thing a band needs.

Being that we’re a completely independent band who’s style doesn’t exactly align with other bands on most promotional platforms, it’s been a challenge to find our targeted audience. We decided the take a chance with The Circle Pit. Very quickly, we found that working with Mike has been a great decision. Our numbers grew tremendously in a short amount of time and we couldn’t be happier with the results from releasing 2 singles and a full length album stream through TCP. We highly recommend working with this team!

If you want promotion The Circle Pit has your back. Ranging from YouTube releases, social media, and press. We are grateful to have done business with them. Therefore, we believe that you will too.

Thank you The circle pit for the good promotion. Get your music heard by the metal community! The Circle Pit is brutal! Highly Recommended.

Working with the Circle Pit enabled us to reach an amount of people that we almost didn’t think was possible for our first release. Mike and the team were incredibly easy to work with and extremely helpful throughout the entire release process. 10/10 will release on the Circle Pit again!

KRYPTEIA

Circle Pit has emerged as a fantastic platform, illuminating new avenues for us to share our music on a global scale. This incredible journey has led us to connect with fans from every corner of the Earth, an experience that truly humbles and inspires us.

Signed up for the VIDEO MARKETING LAUNCH package and the results were well beyond expectations! In two months our video had almost 22K views on all the social media platforms combined, with 151 hours of watch time on YouTube alone! What more can you ask for at such a bargain price? Will definitely be using the service again for upcoming releases!

With the release of a debut album and no prior experience working with a promotion company, I really feel like I struck gold with The Circle Pit. The process, communication, and results have been awesome. The video promotion exceeded my expectations and was well worth the investment. I’ll definitely be coming back for future releases!

RUINFORGE

The Circle Pit is a must for promotion for all bands big or small. If you have new material that you want to be noticed and expand your reach to a global audience of organic followers then The Circle Pit is the best bet!

Being a new band that is working to get their name out there, The Circle Pit has given us a platform that has brought eyes and ears that we may have missed out on otherwise.

VIVID DARK

Mike and The Circle Pit have been very helpful in promoting our debut album, their dedication and support really made the difference from other promotion services. We are deeply grateful to have found such passionate individuals who helped us spread our music in the modern Metal scene! As an independent band, The Circle Pit it’s a great helping hand and a reference point!

ASTRAL EMPTINESS

We are pleased with the thorough, budget-friendly, and effective work that Mike & The Circle Pit have done to help bring listenership to underground extreme metal bands like ours. We’re operating in a noisy world with lots of options, but TCP have shown that with attention to detail & data, and a genuine passion for sharing metal, there is a great path to get your music heard and your videos watched. As an artist it’s important to know & feel that you’ve been seen, and we greatly appreciate the help from The Circle Pit.

The Circle Pit has enabled us to gain new fans that we otherwise normally would not have access to over youtube and social channels. Their prices are fair and they are really easy to work with so yes we recommend them in full for your promotional needs!

When it came time to release an EP I had been working on, I initially reached out to a channel that previously helped release my debut album. The attention my music got from that channel was great and I was super excited about releasing more music to that audience. However, I was having issues with the individual I was working with to the point that I was pushing back releasing the music. Where previously the individual would get back to me within a few days, I was now left waiting a week to hear anything back. In the end, the channel didn’t want to host my music due to some mature content in my music video. This absolutely sucked not only because of how much work went into the music and video (which was all self shot), but because I was now left without an outlet to release my music. It felt like starting over again with finding an audience.

This is where The Circle Pit came in. After reaching out over Facebook, I had a reply within a day explaining their release options as well as some additional services they provide. I explained the situation I was in and was relieved to hear that TCP would do their best to make the release happen despite my struggles with the previous channel. A release date was set and I was able to compile all of my art, music, and video files into a simple Google Drive to send. Even though I was worried about releasing music to a new audience, the video actually surpassed my original album in views and overall reach. TCP got snippets of the release on other social media platforms as well and gave it the best chance at being heard. The views translated over to my Spotify and Bandcamp as I saw a large spike in listeners on both.

Overall, I was very satisfied with the communication and services that were provided by TCP. I was very grateful to have my music released on this platform and would highly recommend others to work with them as well.  

We just finished recording our new release and we had the opportunity to promote the album in different ways and just by luck i was able to connect with the guys at The Circle Pit so we decided to release our new music through his platforms. We could not be happier with the results! We have gained followers quickly across all social media channels and we owe it to The Circle Pit for taking a chance on our music and helping us to promote across different channels. We highly recommend working with them and cant thank The Circle Pit enough for helping us get our music out there! THANK YOU THE CIRCLE PIT

FOR ALL TO BEHOLD

Mike and TCP have been awesome to work with. Great and clear communication, you can tell that they really care about the music they are promoting. It was one of the more successful promo campaigns we have run for our band and we will definitely working with them in the future!

SPACECORPSE

Extremely happy with all the results and positive feedback we’ve received from working with The Circle Pit. Easy to work with, professional and does a great job getting eyes and ears on the music.

ARCHONIC

The Circle Pit was easy to work with and helped our single get the circulation we hoped for. They managed to do everything within a short timeline and were communicative & transparent. We couldn’t be happier, thanks so much!

AUGURIUM

Huge thanks to The Circle Pit for their support in promoting my music. As a new artist, it can be difficult to get your work in front of a wider audience, The Circle Pit has been instrumental in helping me reach new listeners and connect with fans of heavy metal music around the world. Their commitment to supporting emerging artists and showcasing the best of the metal scene is inspiring, and I feel grateful to be a part of their community. Thank you again for all that you do!

Working with The Circle Pit was a really straightforward and seamless process. Mike was kind enough to get us all informed what the campaign included and it was super easy to come up with the best plan for us! We’re really happy how everything turned out, we would definitely recommend their services.

The ITUS boys and I could not be happier with the work Mike and his team at The Circle Pit have done and continue to do. Excellent and eye opening experience. Very beneficial to our band with new doors opening for us. We were blown away by the reception of our single!

Working with The Circle Pit has always been an extremely easy task. Their professionalism is top tier, above any I’ve encountered in the digital market. Promoting is a breeze, they’re extremely polite, and give you one hell of a bang for your buck. I cannot recommend TCP enough. If you need a stream video, a lyric video, or just general marketing, 10/10 TCP is where you need to go.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with The Circle Pit. Mike is a super friendly host. We released our new single and video in February and were looking for a metal-dedicated YouTube platform with well prepared and focused audience. Our expectations were fully met and exceeded.

Let me preface by saying how painless and fruitful this experience has been for myself and my band. The friendliness and the speed of communications have been second to none. We have put up 2 videos through Circle Pit TV and they have been both exposed to tens of thousands of potential new fans within a few days of being premiered. This has made a big difference as we are a fairly unknown and relatively new band. Prices for advertisement were fair and got the results we were expecting. Furthermore, they have kept in touch with us and even included some of our works in a compilation which they have done completely for free and once again it will expose our material to a lot of new potential fans. We will definitely use them again and again even with future projects. I highly recommend Circle Pit to any band.

The first thing about the Circle Pit that stood out to me was their epic selection of really good music on their YouTube channel. I found my own tunes very welcomed and highly embraced, all thanks to their hardworking team! I already have and will continue to recommend them to my friends! Thank you, Circle Pit 🤘🏼

As a new band we were unsure and hesitant on how to go about promoting our music video but once we had found out about The Circle Pit, Mike took great care of us. He had clear lines of communication about what was expected from both him and us and we were more than happy to have him take care of our video. We had more reach than we ever thought possible and it opened us up to other opportunities because of it and we could not be more grateful. We would recommend any artists in our position to do the same.

Druparia

I have worked with The Circle Pit for 2 years now, and the service provided has always been superb! You receive great feedback and stats on how your video is performing, as well as advice on how to help you push your release. They are my ‘go to’ for video releases.

I have followed The Circle Pit for almost 15 years, so when Mike reached me I was overjoyed. I was able to reach many more people than I would without their support. Great experience all around and the results speak for themselves.

Nervous

The Circle Pit does an amazing job showcasing underground metal bands from around the world. They have featured many of my releases with Subnuba and Galactic Mechanics, and we’re very thankful for those features as they’ve helped us reach a wider audience. They’ve created a platform for underground metal, encompassing various sub-genres, and they have become a great resource for discovering new music.

Our debut singles had a lot of eyes on them thanks to The Circle Pit. The nicest people to work with, and the results show the attention every band gets. These guys get promotion right.

Our experience with The Circle Pit was great! We were able to get in touch easily, the explanation of promotional packages was very straightforward, and the team was helpful and pleasant to work with. As a result, our music reached a much greater audience than we could’ve without the help, especially as a new band putting out a debut. Thanks again to Mike and the rest of the team!

Promotion is one of the most important steps when it comes to releasing music, but if you don’t have an established audience to promote to, it can be a very daunting task. I’ve always been confident in my songwriting ability, but I had no idea how to get people to listen to my work. Working with The Circle Pit has allowed me to easily connect with a large audience of metalheads who are hungry for new music. 

I am thrilled with the results and fully plan on working with them in the future.

Awesome! Was nice to work with you on the video, glad it did good and appreciate the work you put in for it thanks!

Since the first single released through the promotion, Mike & The Circle Pit have been an absolute pleasure to work with and have kept us coming back again and again! They have been crucial to the growth Our Last Crusade has seen in the last year: more interactions, more views, more listens across all platforms, and more countries in which our music has been played than ever before. If you want someone who cares as much as you do about getting your music out to as many ears as possible, this is it!

Working with Mike from The Circle Pit has been a pleasure! An absolute professional, he did everything as was promised and agreed upon, and even a couple of services beyond that, like creating short form content and including our band in extra compilations and playlists! I can sincerely recommend working with him and I’ll do so myself again in the future!

AMUSE TO DEATH

The Circle Pit has been fantastic for us we exclusively use them for all our promotional needs not once have they given us a bad experience and we’ve always been surprised with the reach we’ve been able to have when using their services.

SUN OF EREBUS

The Circle Pit has always been a huge help with spreading my music; whenever I have a song released on their platform, I know it will do well! Mike has been a huge help with thoughts, ideas (and even a lyric video), and I can’t thank him or The Circle Pit enough for everything they have done!

As an independent band, Hatred Reigns has appreciated The Circle Pit for promoting our 2018 EP’s animated video “Planes Divide” and their support in premiering our thematic play-through video for “Ushered By Charon” from our LP “Awaken The Ancients”. They have given us amazing exposure to the masses which is appreciated. We recommend contacting The Circle Pit for any support with their services for your project’s promotional needs.

The Circle Pit has become an integral part of our underground metal community in helping countless new listeners connect with an extremely wide array of quality underground metal bands from all over the world. Mike and his team at TCP truly care about the bands they work with and always strive to secure the best organic, quality results that they can possibly achieve. For our band, The Last King we personally had a wonderful experience working with TCP and saw our music video gain more views than it ever has before on any other YouTube channel. We’ve gained new listeners and social media followers as a result of working with TCP and will certainly be using them again for our future releases. We can’t say enough positive about all these guys do for the smaller bands in our community today, definitely give them a shot at uploading and promoting your next release as you will not be disappointed with the results!

THE LAST KING

Glad to be working with The Circle Pit team! These guys will help your creativity to be heard by a large audience.

Nothing but positive things to say about TCP. The campaign delivered above our expectations and the community they’ve garnered is very active so it’s a great spot for some new exposure. 10/10 would use again.

I really wanted to compliment you on how you do the job: nice promo graphics, functional requests for material (and undemanding to the artist…), quick responses, fast to upload and manage everything.

The Circle Pit helped me a ton with getting my release material ready, and trying to help me launch my music correctly. I really appreciated the help and guidance. My listeners are steadily growing on all platforms and the video performed really well, better than I expected honestly! I strongly recommend going through them if you’re looking to release a music video!

If we could turn back time to choose the release of our previous single, we definitely would have contacted The Circle Pit. At the beginning, we had many questions but all of them were resolved by The Circle Pit with an incredible clarity in their answers. This helped us make the best choice. We have received a lot of support from The Circle Pit team, even months later; showing us that their page is much more than a page for releases, it’s a real community.

Circle Pit has given us the opportunity to reach a wider audience. Mike and the team are very creative in bringing the music to the fans. They often deliver more for the bands than they promise.

BONESAWER

For a DIY band, finding effective channels for marketing and promotion can be really difficult. Working with Mike and The Circle Pit for the debut of our last single was a game-changer!

It’s rare to find a team so responsive and dedicated to the project’s success. They didn’t just meet our expectations; they blew right past them. Can’t recommend them enough to any band looking to level up their next release!

ACCURSED

Working with The Circle Pit on War on Innocence was a great experience. Communication with Mike was friendly, clear, and highly professional, and the results exceeded our expectations in terms of reach and views. Highly recommended.

MAGEFA

We never expected to have a debut song featured in the most viewed 40 videoclips of 2025 . Mike stands up from many different promoters met in several years . 

He spoke directly with real numbers and – after the campaign – he didn’t forget about bands. He keeps monitoring artists and campaign results for reach again the ones who got more potential for helping in additional promotions (also free of charge). The Circle Pit is indeed the best metal youtube channel I’ve discovered in the last 5 years

Encelado

As an unknown entity, The Circle Pit has been amazing for getting more ears on my music. For anyone, putting any money into promotion can be daunting, but Mike at TCP made the process quick and smooth and absolutely painless with remarkable and visible statistical results that are absolutely worth it! 10/10, would -and WILL- recommend.

MiseryFields

The Circle Pit is an invaluable resource for any up and coming band in the tech/prog realm to help push your music to a whole new audience. There’s a lot of shady/scam websites and channels out there, but make no mistakes, TCP gets results.

SENTIMENT DISSOLVE

Working with The Circle Pit and Mike was an exceptional experience for us in promoting our latest single, “Divine Extol”. They were prompt, efficient, and professional throughout the entire process. We were particularly impressed with the level of detail and follow-up provided, including valuable data after the release. The Circle Pit’s attention to detail and first-class service made our experience a memorable one. We look forward to continuing our relationship with them and taking our music to the next level!

Your service is by far one of the best out there outside of employing a PR company specifically.

As an underground metal band from Israel, it’s not easy reaching new audiences, but The Circle Pit exceeded our expectations by far. Working with The Circle Pit is great and easy and we can totally recommend the Circle Pit for any of your promotional needs!

The Circle Pit helped us reach listeners around the world and surpassed our expectations for our release. The easiest to work with and their follow up is the best that you can ask for in todays fast pace music business.

I was very happy with the results! I would recommend you guys to anyone.

We’ve worked with The Circle Pit a few times now, and love what they’re doing for the metal community; they feature great, unheard music, and are very transparent with finances. You know where your dollar is going, and you get access to the legit metal fanbase that they’ve worked hard to build. We’ve made many new fans from features to their channel, and even better, found awesome new music that we would’ve not found otherwise, our recent favorite being Needless. Their playlists are what spotify should be! We’ve had only positive experiences working with them, and would highly recommend it! They’re a pleasure to work with and seem to really care about the music.

The services offered by the Circle pit team have been great so far, as a brand new band it’s all we need. We would like to make a note on the professionalism and communication that the company had towards us, which were truly excellent.

SETH

We can’t say enough good things about the Circle Pit, they clearly show a love for what they do and that is promoting underground artists. We’ve all discovered so much music through the Circle Pit, but to finally be a part of it is an honour. Mike was extremely helpful and he really helped give our music that extra push that we needed. We will definitely be going through them again. Hails to the Circle Pit! 

I’ve been hunting for good promo channels for a while but there aren’t many out there that offer promotion for such a variety of different genres! With lots of different packages to offer, I was blown away at the amount of opportunity available for upcoming bands with guarantees of lots of views on your video. They’re so easy to work with and very helpful and I couldn’t recommend them enough!

As an underground band, getting visibility is something that we all look for, but finding the proper channel can be difficult. To be featured along with bands that are well known, on multiple platforms that reach beyond Youtube is a great opportunity that helps us to spread our music around.

ASYLUM PURGATORY

Working with The Circle Pit did bring good results because it enabled to directly hit their target audience! As a bonus, they also created meme videos to attract even more potential viewers to our videos – a really nice experience!

KONVOLTED

We were looking for a platform to promote the video for our new records first single and The Circle Pit was a great choice. Mike was easy to work with and we got great results that we would never have achieved on our own. Would highly recommend.

TENDRILS

The Circle Pit is an excellent promotional platform. Communication with the people in charge is fluid, fast and corresponds perfectly to our expectations in terms of distribution and audience. Good advice is given to us thanks to the good relations we have with The Circle Pit. It’s for these reasons that we’ll continue to work with them for our future projects.

AOTB

The Circle Pit has been extremely helpful in getting our songs out for people to hear across different platforms. Their team is very easy to work with and skilled at getting bands seen and heard. Thanks again guys!

AVE INANIS

The Circle Pit is a top notch promo service. Not only are they one of the most reputable on all the major social media sites for what they do, but their professionalism is second to none. I found them to be approachable, prompt and thorough. They delivered exactly what we wanted and more.

Working with The Circle Pit has been a great experience so far and I couldn’t be happier! They have made it easy for me to stream my music to a large metal-loving fan base that I would have not reached alone. These guys carry themselves professionally and I recommend you use them for your band’s needs too!

It’s great to have people like the fellas from The Circle Pit around, someone who actually cares about the music itself! True professionals but still super friendly and easy to talk to.

Mike and the team at CirclePitTV have honestly have been a breathe of fresh air in this industry. The professionalism is unmatched and they all super pleasant to work with. From trying new ideas to figuring out the best fit, they really care about your vision and bringing it to life. We are looking forward to working with CirclePit again and again and highly recommend to anyone else!

We were feeling stuck and a bit burned out, but teaming up with The Circle Pit has completely turned things around for us. Their support helped us reach new audiences across different platforms and put our music in front of fans who really resonate with what we’re doing. Seeing the response and engagement has been incredible, and it’s brought a whole new energy to the band. We’re more motivated than ever and excited about the future. It feels like we’re finally breaking through, and we owe a lot of that to this partnership!

BLACKBILE

The Circle Pit did what they promised! We got great exposure through their promo campaign. Very professional work and very friendly chaps too, thumbs up!
