Released in 2022 on Sargent House, Gnosis marks another powerful chapter in the catalog of Chicago post-metal trio Russian Circles. Recorded in the fall of 2021, the album represents a shift in the band's compositional approach, with members writing songs independently before bringing them together — a process that critics noted results in a more intense, visceral collection of tracks that plays as a deliberately paced narrative rather than a fragmented patchwork.
Gnosis showcases Russian Circles at their most dynamic, balancing moments of crushing heaviness with passages of haunting, atmospheric beauty — such as the sublime, gently warped guitar tones of "Ó Braonáin." The album's seven tracks demonstrate the band's mastery of tension and release, making it a compelling listen from start to finish and a worthy addition to any serious rock or metal collection.
