Russian Circles circle back with new album, GUIDANCE, announce circle-shaped tour of not-Russia

YES! I’m so excited! This is great news for us all, readers. I don’t know about you, but I was JUST COMPLAINING to my therapist the other day about how my life just didn’t seem… “brutal” enough anymore. Well, never-the-fuck mind: a nice little injection from longtime Chicago-based post-rock/metal hellraisers Russian Circles should fix that shit right up!

The trio just announced a new album (their first since 2013’s Memorial) called Guidance, and it’s a-comin’ to mercifully DESTROY all of our hopes and dreams via the Sargent House label.

This 7-song, 40-minute affair (which was recorded by Kurt Ballou at GodCity Studio in Salem, MA) will be available for your and my pleasure-centric brutalization on vinyl, CD, and digital on August 5, which should give us plenty of shit to talk about in therapy for a while thereafter!

Oh, shit, I almost forgot: they’re also BRUTALLY touring in support of the album. And there’s also a BRUTAL trailer for the album and a BRUTAL single out called “Vorel.” Feel free to punish your senses with those things down below, as well as with the album’s tracklisting! (Sorry, I just get a little excited whenever a new hefty dose of paralyzing fear and existential anguish enters my life. Kinda gives the whole stupid thing a little MEANING for a change, you know?)
