The band plays epic, sprawling music which runs the gamut of heavy discordant metal to soft delicate passages. They are also known for their energetic live shows, having toured with Isis, Tool, Red Sparowes, Pelican, Minus the Bear, Daughters, amongst various others. They have also taken part in the 2006, 2007 & 2008 SXSW festivals.
Formed in late 2004 by guitarist Mike Sullivan and bassist Colin DeKuiper (both formerly of another instrumental band Dakota/Dakota), they quickly recruited Dave Turncrantz, formerly of St. Louis band Riddle of Steel. In 2007 DeKuiper departed the band and Brian Cook (These Arms Are Snakes and Botch) took on the role of bass player for the writing and recording of their newest album, entitled Station, recorded in Seattle with Producer Matt Bayles.
Station was released on May the 6th, 2008 on Suicide Squeeze Records.
On October 20th, 2009, the band released their third album entitled Geneva The album featured the same lineup as Station, with Brian Cook taking a much larger role in the writing and creation of the album. Brian Cook described the band's take on the new album being "less concerned with making sure we could replicate the material live as we were with making a compelling album."
In 2011, Russian Circles signed to Sargent House who had previously only exclusively released the band's albums on limited edition vinyl. Their fourth studio album Empros was released on October 25, 2011. A supporting tour with Deafheaven followed the release. In May, 2013 the group began recording their fifth studio album, produced by Brandon Curtis. Memorial was released at the end of October 2013 and featured a guest-vocal by Chelsea Wolfe. Together they embarked on a co-headlining UK/European tour in the fall.

who needs vocalists when your instrumentals are already so good.

This band and this song did accompany me for a very long time and through quite hard times. This song was with me when my mind completely broke down and perfectly described the feeling of psychotic paranoia crawling through my skin. Part of me was lost that night but this band will always be in my heart! I do not regret a single moment. Love you, Russian Circles!
@katesickles5402
I feel ya!
@rubenvd3913
This band is helping me over a painful breakup and subsequent depression.
@brandonduplessis9900
Yup! Same
@wellingtonmaya5557
This song has some of the best rhythm section I’ve heard! I headbang the shit outta it and I always enjoy.
@markod442
so damn melodic and powerful , this is why you dont need a singer with lead singer disease , harmonies throughout and what a landscape , of course having a drummer this powerful never hurts , russian circles breathes , fantastic fuckin band!!!!! dying to see them live
@peluxhingonzalez8380
Mark Durling dude ive seen them twice. They go down like a prom dress
@jorgemartin5093
I miss 70s sound though. This sounds too digital....for my taste. You need a good amp to make it sound warm and dynamically acceptable. The bass guitar ( if it exists here)is not even listenable.
@hellinterface6721
It's heavier than melodic shit though. I hate melodic metal but I love this. STFU
