The new Russian Circles single "Betrayal" is a textbook on writing crunchy riffs at a steamrolling mid-paced tempo. I mean seriously, there's no way you can get through this entire song without getting a full-body headbang on. Or at least turning it all the way up… but let's face it, the headbang thing is happening.
Russian Circles will release their first new record in three years Gnosis on August 19. Gnosis was engineered and mixed by Kurt Ballou (Converge, Mutoid Man, etc.) at God City with additional tracking done at Chicago’s Electrical Audio. Pre-orders are available here. In addition to the new record, Russian Circles will embark on a world tour starting this September featuring Rezn and Cult Of Luna on select dates.
