Callenish Circle was formed in 1992 in Holland by Patrick Savelkoul (vocals) and Jos Evers (guitar). In 1994 Ronny Tijssen (guitar) and Gavin Harte (drums) joined the band and in 1995 they entered a studio and recorded their one and only demo, "Lovelorn". In 1996 they were signed to Hammerheart Records where they released their debut album, "Drift of Empathy", same year. The band didn't get the breakthrough they all had hoped for so.
They then parted ways with Hammerheart Records and in 1998 they released the MCD, "Escape", through Polar Bear Records. They left the label and were then signed to DSFA Records where they released "Graceful..Yet Forbidding". But the label encountered serious financial problems and the band switched to Metal Blade Records.
In 2002 they then released "Flesh Power Dominion" which was a success and then a wealth of tours followed. "My Passion // Your Pain" was then released in 2003 and was followed by "Forbidden Empathy" in 2004. The bands current line-up is: Patrik Savelkoul (vocals), Ronny Tijssen (guitar), Rene Rokx (bass), Gavin Harte (guitar) and Remy Dieteren (drums).
