Chicago post-metal trio Russian Circles return with Nine, their latest chapter in a career defined by instrumental intensity and unhurried evolution. Recorded at the legendary Electrical Audio in Chicago with engineer Kurt Ballou — known for his work with Converge, Mastodon, and High on Fire — the album continues the refined sonic approach the band established on Blood Year and Gnosis, cementing their reputation as masters of long-form, album-oriented composition.
Nine finds Russian Circles triangulating their collective strengths into sweeping, seismic soundscapes that sit at the intersection of post-metal and post-rock — heavy yet meditative, intense yet accessible. The result is music that feels both disciplined and exploratory, channeling the trials and emotional weight of modern life into immersive instrumental journeys that reward patient, attentive listening.
