new Russian Circles album! (update: full album stream )

Post by Ruiner »

New album and tour announced.

I've been waiting YEARS for them to come back to Austin and they are...... but it's on the day i'm getting married in Vermont.

:facepalm:

Well... guess it's time to decide how important this wedding really is..... :lol:


Anyways, stoked for new album

They posted a trailer for the album with a snippet of one of the songs:

I like them for their darkness. I like the war imagery too. They are definitely unique in the post rock world.

Ok, got to listen... excellent first track from the album! I love the chord progressions and melody choices they come up with. More than that i love the textures in their music. Crushing in all the right ways.

Looking forward to the rest of the album.

WOW, this is incredible. Might be my favorite Russian Circles album yet and i love their earlier work. Definitely some new tricks while still keeping their core sound. The song writing here is just top notch.

I'm loving the new stuff. It's not dethroning Geneva yet as my favorite, but it could, given time. Thanks for posting the link.

I just love that they got a bit more into the emotional, spine-chilling stuff again. While I'll never not like RC, the last two albums were more background music for me. I missed shit like "Philos". This new one has a bit more of that vibe for me.
My Tech Grind'ish band, Sulaco
My "I dont know how to describe it" band, CHRMR
My old instrumental prog band, BML
My metal band, Contrarian

Buy my Signature Mason BG Hellabucker

Friedman BE100 :shake:
Marshall JCM800 1987
Helix Floor

Happily endorsed by ESP Guitars and BG Pickups
Also, lot's of Charvel's and Fender's on hand
