We find Mike Sullivan with a new amp approach and a plethora of pedals on the instrumentalists UK tour. As the guitarist in an instrumental three-piece, Mike Sullivan’s tone has to deliver a huge but nuanced sound to be his voice in Russian Circles. His quest to refine his heavy tones while retaining the cleaner chime and layers of looping required to produce the band’s intricate and emotive compositions has meant a rig always up for revision with three amps and a meaty pedalboard platter in play. But his ongoing recovery from a car accident last year also brought about some necessary changes in terms of guitar choices, too… full article via musicradar.

On their sixth studio album, Russian Circles continue on the same path they started down on 2013’s Memorial, easily their most expansive record, matching serene pieces like “Asa” with the molten fury of “Afrika” and lead single “Vorel.” Kurt Ballou of Converge, who moonlight...

On their sixth studio album, soundscape pioneers Russian Circles place much more emphasis on the textural qualities of their work, ultimately making for a much more refined music experience in the process. As always, Russian Circles have the innate ability to convey emotions through their instruments alone, reaching particular moments of enlightenment on the ethereal drifter ‘Mota’, the turbulent instrumental cavalcade ‘Vorel’ and the evolving beauty 'Afrika.’ This trio are quickly becoming one of the most important instrumental rock bands of the century, and on Guidance, they continue to expand their deeply sophisticated sound palette with real finesse and poignancy.

On Sept. 2, 2016, on a night when most of the city is either out at Burning Man, or recovering from the Kill Switch Engage show the night before, it was impressive to see that Russian Circles, easily one of the best post-metal groups touring, still had sold out the iconic G...
