Chicago based post-metal trio Russian Circles have just announced their highly anticipated sixth studio album, set for release this August 5th on Sargent House Records.
The 7-song, 40-minute LP, titled Guidance, was recorded by Kurt Ballou at GodCity Studio in Salem, MA and hopes to Showcase the Russian Circles maturation in sound that has been culminating for the better part of their 10 year career. You can check out the official trailer for the album below.
In support of Guidance, Russian Circles have announced an thorough North American headlining tour that spans August through October and features Cloakroom and Helms Alee on select dates. This tour will follow the band’s appearances at Levitation Fest Vancouver and Crucial Fest in Salt Lake City in June.
In addition to perfecting their recorded sound, it appears as if the Russian Circles have tweaked their live performance. The Seattle Times said, “…live performance is a rhythmic experience. Their timbre and chord sequences are powerful, but their masterful control of tempo and shocking entry and exit points are perhaps their most prominent feature. Their breakdowns don’t only kill with brute force, but often catch you off guard when they fly in from the side.”
Guidance will be released on CD, LP and digital formats on August 5th from Sargent House. You can find the album art, tracklist and tour dates below, and more information and news here.
