Russian Circles

Twenty-seven minutes of raw, instrumental power. A blueprint for post-metal that balances intricate math-rock loops with massive, floor-shaking riffs.

It's like a math-rock band decided to start playing sludge metal in a dark basement.

A high-tension balance of intellectual rhythmic complexity and raw, physical aggression.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition in 'Death Rides a Horse' where the mathy tapping gives way to a crushing, sludge-heavy riff.
The sprawling, patient build of 'Carpe' that establishes the band's signature use of live-looped guitar layers.
The rhythmic interplay between the bass and drums on 'New Macabre' that feels like a mechanical heart beating.
