Russian Circles has announced their newest album, Nine, along with a North American Tour this fall. The Chicago post-metal trio is set to release their tenth studio album on August 27. The first single, “Empath,” is out now, released alongside the announcement and a music video.
“The music we make is a collective process of reconciliation, navigation, and reflection upon aging both as individuals and as a creative entity,” Russian Circles said. “Life has created very real distances between us, but the band continues to be at the center, and this creative collaboration is a way of charting the passage of time while also giving us a reason to look to the future.”
