Russian Circles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Russian Circles is a three piece instrumental rock/metal band from Chicago. Similar to fellow Chicago residents Pelican, Russian Circles play epic, sprawling music which runs the gamut of heavy discordant metal, to soft delicate passages. They are also known for their energetic live shows.
Formed in late 2004 by guitarist Mike Sullivan and bassist Colin DeKuiper (both formerly of another instrumental band Dakota/Dakota) they quickly recruited Dave Turncrantz, formerly of St Louis band Riddle of Steel.
When performing live the band is noted for being able to replicate and even expand upon their recorded material through Sullivan and DeKuiper's use of sampling/loop pedals.
They are currently signed to Flameshovel Records.
