Chicago instrumental rock/metal band Russian Circles have announced they will be releasing a new album titled Guidance on August 5th via Sargent House. If you remember, I was a huge fan of their 2013 album Memorial and their new single “Vorel”, which you can hear below, sounds like a continuation of that musical approach. It’s thick, aggressive, but has beauty lurking within.
The band will also be embarking on Summer and Fall tour dates, with the first leg seeing support from Cloak Room while the second leg will feature Helms Alee (and you damn well better believe I’m going to be at that show).
Pre-orders for Guidance can be found here.
