“Russian Circles have long been at the forefront of instrumental post-metal and post-rock, pioneering a path through uncharted sonic terrain with a blend of crushing weight and ethereal grace. From their earliest days in Chicago’s experimental underground to their current status as globe-trotting instrumental ambassadors, Mike Sullivan (guitar), Dave Turncrantz (drums), and Brian Cook (bass) have elevated three-piece dynamics to an art form. Their music, a unique blend of prog expedition and metal maelstrom, defies easy categorization yet remains unmistakably their own, thanks to meticulous layering, dynamic mastery, and a steadfast commitment to genuine expression.”
