Russian Circles

Overview

Combine distortion, doom and a little bit of blues, and you have for yourself Russian Circles. This Chicago based, three-piece instrumental metal band has been around for eight years, and in that time have produced a number of highly praised, intense metal tracks.

Russian Circles were only on our shores a year ago, performing to a wave of packed crowds across the country. This visit they're bringing along Utah metal duo Eagle Twin, consisting of guitarist, Gentry Densley, who was the musical leader of legendary hardcore group Iceburn, and drummer Tyler Smith.

Having just released what has been described as their heaviest album to date, Empros, the Russian Circles' Friday performance at the HiFi is sure to run the nearby Seven Eleven dry of ear plugs. As a band noted for being able to expand upon their recorded material live through the use of their extensive effects and loop pedals, this is not a show for Brisbane fans to miss.
