Gnosis

Russian Circles

A heavy, physical record that prioritizes crushing sludge riffs over delicate loops. Recorded live as a trio, it feels immediate, dangerous, and massive.

It's like a mountain range collapsing in slow motion, but in a way that makes you want to get work done.

A relentless, confrontational energy with moments of exhausted tenderness.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition into the double-kick drumming on 'Conduit' that pushes the band into black metal territory.
The way the title track 'Gnosis' builds from a flickering guitar line into a massive, slow-motion avalanche of sound.
The final two minutes of 'Bloom' where the distortion clears for a moment of shimmering, melodic release.
