Russian Circles Stream New Track, ‘1777’

Russian Circles - Memorial

If you’ve been keeping a close eye on the phenomenal instrumental band Russian Circles, then I’m sure you’ve heard their previously released songs, the insanely heavy ‘Deficit‘ and the haunting title track ‘Memorial‘, which features Chelsea Wolfe on vocals. Yesterday they unveiled another track off the new album titled ‘1777,’ which is streaming over at Pitchfork. Check it out below!

[soundcloud]http://soundcloud.com/sargent-house/russian-circles-1777/s-FgWGa[/soundcloud]

This one’s quite familiar to most Russian Circles fans out there. More reminiscent of the Geneva-era, the music really broods and builds, taking the listener on quite a journey, if you give it enough of your patience. It’s got some really weird tones and the drumming has a more spaced out feel to it than we’ve ever heard before. It’s as if the drum recording was done in an open room to really give it that live feeling it’s got. ‘1777’ is an amazing, dark track and I’m really glad at how the new, stranger and darker tones are sounding for the band.

So far it seems the album’s taking a new turn with the two previous tracks that’ve been released, ‘Memorial‘ being the first ever vocal track Russian Circles have ever written. Of course,  ‘Praise Be Man’ off of Empros was the first RC track to ever incorporate vocals, but ‘Memorial‘ is more of complete vocal song rather than just having inaudible phrases being sung in the background. Not to mention, Chelsea Wolfe is an amazing vocalist with so much emotion in her voice. And if anything, ‘Deficit‘ should have you hyped about how good the album is going to be. That track is probably the heaviest track they’ve ever written since ‘Geneva‘!

We’ll have more on Russian Circles once we get our hands on the album and expect a review soon.

Memorial will be available everywhere October 29, 2013 via Sargent House.

  • Moon Tooth – Phototroph

    By now, Moon Tooth have garnered themselves quite a following in the progressive metal spaces. This is no accident; the scene is hungry for the kind of upbeat and unrestrained music that Moon Tooth is creating. Good news then: Phototroph is by far the band’s most energetic and “poppy” release, and I mean that in the best way possible.

  • Eight Bells – Legacy of Ruin

    Eden Kupermintz

    Legacy of Ruin very much continues Eight Bells' style of ethereal, haunting doom but splices it with more dynamic and muscular riffs, drums, and vocals for a new, and markedly improved, version of the band's sound. It is still an album to sink into to be sure, but it also affords the listener with more footholds on their way down.
