Nine is the third full-length studio album by the Norwegian progressive metal band Circus Maximus.

[1] "The majority of the material on the new record was written by Mats Haugen and he has taken the music to a kind of simpler and more accessible approach, yet kept the progressive elements and the "nerve" that is Circus Maximus" says Truls Haugen.

Circus Maximus will appear live in some selected shows in the summer before launching a full-scale tour in support of the new album.

[2] Glen Cato Møllen, the bassist of the band, told about the differences among Nine and the other two albums: "Two huge elements in the new material are first and foremost the evolution of the songwriting and the accessibility of the music.

We have been and always will be super proud of what we accomplished with the previous albums, but I think we’ve taken it to the next level with the new stuff".
