Russian Circles | Audiotree From Nothing

[@adriansaninja]

these guys should be doing the music for the new dune movies I cant get the certain desert planet imagery out of my head

[@C.good2damax]

I love how RC walks on stage starts playing and when done they just wave 👋 goodbye. No words no ego ❤ 🔥 from a mighty instrumental band.

[@elnombre91]

When I saw Nadja live they were like that. They stepped on stage and proceeded to play a solid stream of music without stopping for an hour or so. Incredible gig.

[@nadinenabass7284]

Yes!! I saw them for the first time last year and it was hands down top 5 shows I have ever been to. I was so surprised there weren't even mics on stage! Felt like a two-hour fever dream, truly was transported to another place.

[@batmanderdad]

They’re best greatest instrumental band ever. The power of their live shows is mind blowing. I’ve taken a couple people who knew nothing about them to their shows and watching them feel it and react with awe is always the best.

[@C.good2damax]

@@batmanderdad yeah that’s awesome!

[@MVDTV95]

I will see them one day I put tht on everything

[@hidusty8182]

My favorite thing about their music has to be the way that it sounds

[@maketherobotdoit]

Shit! Me too!

[@coryleblanc]

derp

[@burn740]

I'm gonna have to go ahead and agree with you there

[@Dave-lr2wo]

Not me. For me the best part about their music is the sonic effect it has on my brain through my ears.

[@burn740]

@@Dave-lr2wo whoa

[@iambrunocoelho]

So I asked Spotify to create a radio based on Elder and my God am I happy to be here! Love these guys because they do what I wish Elder did - no singing.

[@martymuerte]

maybe the best band ever seeing live.. you must

[@analog_memories]

My best friend gave me a Russian Circles cd and a Pelican CD back around 2006. It changed my view of music forever.

[@Grimm760]

I am incredibly pleased to tell you these two bands are touring the US together in the spring

[@codygermanshepherd4447]

My life has changed ever since I was introduced to this amazing band.

Same here. Thinking and doing so differently was such a huge inspiration. Thank you guys!

Likewise!

It's the same for all of us mate :)

[@maxolydian9115]

Saw them last year. Bring earplugs. These guys don’t mess around. You can feel every note and drum beat in your bones when they perform. Also - ridiculously good light show

[@llabyrinthinessoul]

how do you enjoy it if you're wearing earplugs?

[@wayleygg]

@@llabyrinthinessoul is this a joke?

[@llabyrinthinessoul]

@@wayleygg no im serious ive never been to a concert before

[@glenuntermeer]

@@llabyrinthinessoul You can get ear plugs that reduce frequencies fairly evenly. (You're right that foam earplugs don't leave you with an ideal experience.) Ideally you wouldn't need 'em but a lot of shows - including most metal shows - are mixed at levels that will damage your hearing over time.

[@llabyrinthinessoul]

@@glenuntermeer thanks for the info!

[@carlfrenette]

I got the pleasure of meeting them after their last Montreal show. They say to never meet your heroes, but these folks were the kindest, most humble, friendly and all-around genuine people ever. I love this band to no end.

[@CaribouXophe]

I was at this show, first time seeing them live. Did not expect it to be that much more powerful than the albums. Blown away.

[@Drainthewell]

I met them way back when they were touring Enter in London, Ontario of all places. Super chill dudes. I offered to smoke them and Fear Before The March Of Flames up. They were pretty bugged out at how casual it was to get high in a parking lot in Canada back then. Good to hear they're still nice dudes

[@carlfrenette]

@@Drainthewell Holy crap, hey Phil! You're also a pretty cool dude! Haha

[@shithawk89]

seems like they would be. they make music for art not for money. those are usually the humble kind musicians.

[@Drainthewell]

@@carlfrenette Haha duuuude. What are the chances

[@JonnyHutchins]

Hands down the loudest and one of the tightest live bands I've ever seen live. Seen them 4 times live

[@JoshuaStandingHarvey]

Saw these guys in 2019. such an incredible performance. come out 2 hours of epic music, no talking just hair raising sound!

[@JoshuaStandingHarvey]

Also! listen to REZN!

[@DrSpaceman42]

Can’t believe I’ve been a fan for like 13-14 years now… the greatest post metal band ever.

[@psjp3000]

I've seen a lot of metal bands over the years but nothing compares to the experience of seeing Russian Circles live. I saw them at The Fleece in Bristol in 2015. The opening riff blew me away, I was in awe of them for the next 90 mins. They didnt speak between songs, they just let their music do the talking. One of the best live experiences of my life.

[@dmitriy7861]

Man, what a band! Their ability to develop the melody and evolve the sound throughout the track is unparalleled.

[@elpepo01]

The "Far Out" performance that they did a few years back was incredible, this one... Even better. Gnosis was a masterful release. RC never disappoints.

[@melissahartman4383]

Russian Circles is hands down the best band I've ever seen live and even tho I knew I loved them, I didn't expect the show to hit me like THAT.... amazing.

[@GabrielleMarinArt]

Saw them opening for Boris in 2010 and I've been hooked to their music ever since. I had already listened to Enter when it came out in 2006 but I didn't realize how great they were until I saw them live. I've seen them probably close to a dozen times now, and it never gets old. They're one of the best live bands I've ever seen.

[@music_is_good]

Absolutely phenomenal band. Amazing mix and footage as well. Thank you Audiotree!

[@reyrichard4922]

Dommage de ne pas êtres en communication avec le public

[@benjaminbrackin5554]

Love that they are reppin REZN here. I was introduced to them when they opened up for Russian Circles. Incredible band and phenomenal night. Russian Circles is one of the best live performances you will ever see.

[@timbeasley1209]

One of my all time favorite bands and as a drummer Dave has always been my biggest inspiration. Keep it up we are lucky to have you guys.

Going to see them live with Cult of Luna on Saturday. Literally two of my favorite bands on one evening, a dream come true. This will the fourth time I go to see these guys play live and they always sounded amazing so far.

[@robr2303]

Saw RC bck in '19. Would love to see COL. Lucky you.

[@Mr_Beebird]

@@robr2303 Sadly I got really sick and couldn't go today. Bad luck. :( I'm really bummed out, but health comes first in a case like this.

[@fredriksvanberg8141]

Drove down to Copenhagen from Gothenburg just to see that lineup. Incredible is an understatement of what I witnessed. I feel bad for you missing the show but nice of you to take some responsibility and sitting it out instead of potentially harming yourself or others. Maybe you could enjoy this story. Saw Cult of Luna for the first time back in '09 at Metaltown here in Gbg. Me and a friend walked around the festival grounds after smoking some green. Marilyn Manson headlined. He stunk and we went for the exit. Walked by the smaller tent stage and this dark, crushing yet melodic noise caught my ear. Cult of Luna. I stood there frozen for what seemed like 4 hours just immersing myself in this beautiful experience. I felt a warmth in my chest and goosebumps all over my arms and neck. And I had been stoned before but this was something else. Bought every record I could find the next day which was Salvation, Somewhere Along the Highway and The Eternal Kingdom. Hugest fan ever since that night. Russian Circles is another, albeit less fantastical story. I stumbled upon Deficit on youtube when it had just come out and I got that same glorious feeling inside my chest. Unbelievable band and not since Rush has a power trio sounded this huge. Love everything about them. Both bands, and the opener Svalbard, gave everything they had and I couldn't be happier about the show. As a sober dad these days, this feeling I will carry with me for a long time.

[@azraelgm]

that dunable guitar is lovely. All the songs come across beautifully here, but Gnosis is otherworldly.

[@oddcreature8953]

This is a fantastic video: the band, the music, the camera work, the sound recording. Top notch, Audiotree!

[@edmeth]

Best show of 2022. They sound sooo good live.

[@2strokeroll]

One of the best rock bands of the 21st Century 🙌🏼 down

[@aaronwhite1786]

It's been wild listening to Russian Circles since 2006 and seeing them evolve over time. Over all that time they've been able to put out solid album after solid album.

[@freehaven1]

I hope these gentlemen put out albums until the day I die.....it's the soundtrack to my metal life. thank you Russian Circles, thank you

[@zhenjiu]

I've listened to RC for over 10 years. They have always produced new, innovative, monumental music.

[@unmike19]

One of the best live bands I've ever seen. Have seen them 5 times. The first, was opening for Coheed and they nearly stole the show. Phenomenal band and very nice guys. Have had the pleasure of chatting with them multiple times at shows, and they are always kind and generous with their time.

[@GothicXlightning]

20:13 that little feedback right before the stormy beauty of riff did pierced my soul like and Arrow of lightning🏹🎵⚡ but seriously how the hell can this live recording sound even better than the studio version? that is a Magik studio

[@chrissiebeneck3294]

I second Brian's perspective on vocals/lyrics getting in the way of the tunes

[@natalieestrello6528]

The vibrations of an RC show transmute you to place you never want to leave. So thankful to have seen this band live so many times. Great work!

[@pillznarRy]

one of the greatest most underrated bands on this planet. dudes are still here for a reason, theyre some of the hardest working dudes out there.

[@moejartin3258]

Russian Circles creates music for the deaf. You can literally feel every track.

[@PeepingTime]

no that was QOTSA

[@moejartin3258]

@PeepingTime I don't get the same feeling, unfortunately. I listen to them as well, but it's just not the same as what I feel when I listen to these guys.

[@BasementGAS]

Saw them open for Mastodon and got to chat with Mike after the show. Awesome and wholesome dude. A band I listen to every day. Pure artists.

[@Swamprot]

[@markwright-c1o]

Simply just one of the best bands doing it. End of story. They are also an instrumental band who don't rely on insane time signatures or anything. They take elements of everything including black metal and make incredible music out of it. A band for genuine music lovers.

[@drummersagainstitk]

If you ever get the chance to see these guys play live take the opportunity. For how awesome they sound in videos and audio live is an EXPERIENCE. Its so loud and aggressive, and the light show fits so perfectly. It will blow your mind as you get to hear and feel the music pound through your chest. I can't wait to see them again.

[@calebkeen8967]

I saw them open for Mastodon a few years ago. They were incredible. Mastodon also played a great show but as an experience it was more like a double-bill than headliner and opener.

[@ElPantera237]

Going to see them live for the first time here in Mexico; mid-April. Can’t wait! Many friends and music cognoscenti will assist for sure…

[@dozzzzer]

Damn it, I just can't express how much I love their music. It's just some sort of sorcery. The fact they never ceased to surprise and amaze me over the last 14 years says it all. Their works have become a soundtrack to my life which helped to get through the most challenging of times. Been to their live show once and it was defo one of the most memorable concerts in my life. Can't wait to see you guys live again in a couple of weeks!

[@HarveyPeckar]

Amazing band and what an amazing record is Gnosis. Pure fucking gold.

[@hugemetalfan6664]

I found these guys like last year and I freaking love this band!!!

[@arthureames9715]

One of my favorite bands by far. Listening to their albums evolve, culminating with Gnosis is amazing. Gnosis is the best vinyl I own. When I have had a bad day, I put that record on loud, and just the wall of sound is so cathartic and clarifying.

[@shithawk89]

I can relate, I do the same thing with this record. I like how you used the word "clarifying" I was going to say "relieving" I just got into vinyl 2 weeks ago and I order this record on silver vinyl from their website last night. Can't wait to give that a spin.

[@ikerzuazaga6218]

I'm 42 yeras old and I've seen many bands live. And Russian Circles 2 times on 2012 / 2013 in Bilbao. No band comes close to this trio. They get a unique meditative experience on stage. I remember talking to Dave Turnkratz after one of the shows and telling him that if he left the band, it wouldn't sound the same. To which he replied: it's curious that you say that because I'm thinking of leaving the band. I'm very happy to see that he's still playing with Russian Circles.

[@timbrawdy2249]

Daaaaamn I saw you guys in a vfw in Pittsburgh back in the early 2000s. My friends band opened up for you! Been a fan for so long!

[@UnfilteredWP]

Russian Circles has motivated, inspired, and pumped me up for years now. You've done them justice and for that I thank you. Their live shows are truly amazing!

[@boarderking133]

So glad to see these guys getting the respect they deserve been a fan since i before they had recorded any sound. I listened to their first jam session in a garage and knew theyd be big one day. In fact ive been listening to mike play since he first picked up a guitar

2 months after seeing these fine gentlemen live at the Metro, a show full of brute force and volume, I had surgery in my neck to prevent my spinal cord from being severed.

[@Tarquin21723]

Everytime they come to Detroit, I go and see them. Great band and great people.

[@stario]

I'm not sure what the message was, or ever is on any RC record for that matter, but I feel like I really got it this time. It goes back to what Mike and Brian said about not deviating from the fundamentals. It's an ode themselves and the fans simply saying, we're still here this is OUR sound and now it's yours to listen to. Also it feels like the album nods to past records where every track could have fit in previous works with the exception of Bloom. Bloom was emotionally moving like none other.

[@stemcellphone]

Man, these guys have really changed since I gave them a listen ~12 years ago. I dig it. @audiotree i know they're not the most popular group, but I would love to hear Dysrhythmia set.
