Russian Circles "Death Rides A Horse"

[tcbshaded39]

The drummer is awesome......

[Mortalcall]

I've been looking around at many Russian circles videos now, one thing I've noticed is that none of them come in 1080p ,so i've come to believe any Russian circles played at 1080p will blow your fucking mind.

[babbleon12]

Good song. Bad camerawork. This isn't MTV.

[GlumLotDrums]

I jizzed at 1:31 and 2:04

[DannyGloverIsAwesome]

this song is fucking bullshit

[doogleisfat]

@DannyGloverIsAwesome Why do you think this song is bullshit? Danny Glover is bad ass though, I'll give you that.

[minimanomus]

@DannyGloverIsAwesome sais a faggot who listens to offspring wannabees

[redrocker26]

Going to see them Tonight!

[astellarbomb]

oh god they are playing tomorrow night at the Bowery - saw them live there a couple of years back - was amazing. too bad I have class. maybe i can make it to the show in time ---

[DannyGloverIsAwesome]

this isnt music, it sucks too much

[Captmidnite77]

But who's to say that any of these bands even listen to one another.

[MRCOFFEYOGURT]

i love this band, but i don't think this is a live... i mean the sound, if you hear the song in the cd is the same (in all things)

[spidersquasher]

@CVargas chopped

[Racketeerof89]

Check out the band Gordian Knot, you will be pleased if you love this stuff

[Daoz376]

I can't wait to see these guys are Fun Fun Fun Fest. It's gonna be fucking sick nasty.

[thetruesaint666]

Every time I listen to this band I think about the zombie apocalypse

[W78516]

Going to see these guys at Lees can't wait.

[MurkrazOfficial]

newest song off empros on my channel

[CoreyRidesUnited]

что на самом деле горячий

[KemaIsGood]

DANGIT!! soooo perfecct.. n_n menikmati..

[Cystlib]

Bands that are kinda similar to Russian Circles: Pelican, Red Sparrowes, Cloudkicker, Maybeshewill, If These Trees Could Talk, Barrows, Beware Of Safety, Oak (in order to find the band, search for Oak - I'm not dying) and Snipers!! (Exclamation marks are part of the name. To find band, search for Snipers - There Is An Adversary). These bands are great and a must-hear for people that want music somewhat similar to Russian Circles so if you are one of them, give them a listen and spread the word!

[LOLFATGUY]

@Cystlib Thank you so much. I've been trying to find a band that I'm actually keen on listening to. I just came across Russian Circles in a BLUNT Magazine and tada! I've fallen in love. Thanks for the other recommendations too :)

[trigger696]

@Cystlib you forgot to mention Baroness another great band.  Was at the Russian Circles gig last night at the Bakery which was fully enjoyable

[Cystlib]

@trigger696 Yes I know, but youtube wouldn't allow me to write longer comments. :P There are a few more bands I didn't listed such as Omega Massif, Meniscus, And So I Watch You From Afar, Kokomo and a few I've forgotten the name of :P

[MrNeilmozart]

@MeasusClaudio You should check out explosions in the sky and boards of canada if you havent heard them. Super rad bands!

[ThePorcupineal]

@MeasusClaudio check out Pelican!

[Cadadovargas]

@Cystlib gracias ... no había escuchado esas bandas.... asombroso ... sobre todo pelican

[opiiatee]

@Cystlib Hey thanks for recommending Cloudkicker they're great!

[alcoholica1986]

@opiiatee you mean 'he's' great. its one guy

[opiiatee]

@alcoholica1986 nice. even more impressive

[Cystlib]

@opiiatee Your welcome, I'm glad you like it. The artist behind Cloudkicker is Ben Sharp, if you search for "BM Sharp" on youtube you'll get more music made by him.

[punkmusicmetal]

@Cystlib oo and check out some And So I Watched You From Afar, and they have their "post-metal" moments.

[Cystlib]

@punkmusicmetal I know, they're good. But I didn't include them because they don't really sound like Russian Circles. They sound more like Explosions in the Sky meets Battles or GIRAFFES? GIRAFFES!

[BeeTatty]

@Cystlib thank you!

[obar111]

@Cystlib sorry.... Cloudkicker? I can definetly understand all the rest and good on you for putting them in the list but how can you compare Russian Circles to Cloudkicker?

[Cystlib]

@obar111 Russian Circles and Cloudkicker both hav their similarities and differnces. While CK sure isnt the same as RC, they both hav long, instrumental, sprawling music, leaning towards postmetal and postrock, but stil having their own sound. While CK has a more math-rock/djent sound, and the music is more fast-paced, I still think it is the kind of music most RC-fans will like. However, both new CK as new RC differ quite much, at least a lot more than when u wouldve compard their oldr material

[r0lly90]

@Cystlib also  sleepmakeswaves...addiction

[Cystlib]

@r0lly90 Amazing band but not very similar to Russian Circles aside from being post-rock.

[biggstheclown]

dude im seeing these guys on the 10th. i cant wait ey

[rud3m3chanical]

@biggstheclown - Zoo gig + instore at Tyms. Awesome.

[CombatWombat1995]

33 people got ridden by death

[Denni94xD]

Awesome song damn!

[TheJazzpistols]

awesome trio.. death rides a horse. \m/

[saustindavis]

Freakin' amazing! I'm getting an instrumental band together, and hope we are even a fraction as good as these guys.

[tomaddis77]

who one earth could dislike this?!

[Tyroshimo9152]

5:14 : Death arrives on his horse.

[MrGuntherthecat]

Reminds me of the days when Don Caballero were really good, which was a while back now

[BuLLa]

love that snare and hi hat!

[kuroda0]

Very great, especially the drummer !

[MrStx67]

bravi!!!! ma nn capisco band così devono farsi conoscere di più......\m/

[deathbringerfromsky7]

great:)

[SillyCreatures]

check out Silly Creature (Cosmic Post Metal Funk) from Santa Cruz, California!

[dannythemute]

reminds me to ASIWYFA...

[DarkApostleMatt]

@dannythemute Same genre?

[dannythemute]

@DarkApostleMatt omg!! you know what is post-rock??

[DarkApostleMatt]

@dannythemute Is it like God Is an Astronaut?

[dannythemute]

@DarkApostleMatt yes!!! well you need to hear "And So I Watch You From Afar" <---they rock!!!

[MrAbcdabcd11]

If you don't like the song then don't listen to it. You don't have to say the song sucks or the synchronization is off because other people like the song the way it is

[MrSatanochio]

Ok, at 5:13 is the end of the world.

[Nipolar]

If i was the band following that number, i'd be shittin my pants

[docjonty]

best band I have ever seen live , and I`ve seen a few.

Awesome.

[SeptemberFires]

bad ass drummer. sickest bass tone.

[skog13]

have a listen to (high dependency unit - masd)

[MegaRompeprop]

Is a great band

[CaptKirby18]

@LandOfMutants does not work like what? this is a live song, monitors exist

[SocijsOntwikseltsaar]

Dave makes the song.

[castorshell96]

1:31 and after.... c:

[castorshell96]

1:31.... c:

[dereksmallsuk]

......sounds like mastadon tuning up

[AlMachineKTC]

@dereksmallsuk fuck you.

[dereksmallsuk]

@AlMachineKTC No sir... fuck you

[rens1000]

badass motherfucker

[Faggymcfagfag]

that drummer looks like hes derping hard

[akokkinakes]

Buckethead would be a fine addition to this band, wouldn't he?

[javy91]

@akokkinakes No.

[EvilJesusWTF]

@akokkinakes nah, best to keep these two separate.

[carogm0508]

people complain about the synchronization. wtf it sounds great!! there isn't need of a fucking singer!!! good song good video!!!! if you do not like you'd better go listen to pop shit!!!

[CaptKirby18]

only 30 people have ears (I was one of them ^______^)

[Kracg999]

@CaptKirby18 30 people out of the entire human population? That sounds unlikely.

[CaptKirby18]

@Kracg999 only 30 out of the people who voted!

[timdavies90]

@CaptKirby18 God you're stupid. Why are you even listening to this kind of music when you clearly have no idea what it's about. It's Post Rock, it's about weird rhythms, unless you've listened to a ton of it, or listened to the songs over and over again it will sound weird. Go back to listening to J-pop.

[CaptKirby18]

@timdavies90 lol get your head out of your ass, that type of condescending, pejorative based response that assumes your taste is better than everyone's, and also that they must not "get" the thing that it is that you like, is so fucking shoddily elitist that it is painful to see idiots like you; anyway, I like a lot of metal, so I naturally prefer "stoner rock" to post rock, and except Lift Your Skinny Antennae all of it is awful, A Silver Mount Zion, Swans, Dirty Three, et cetera

[CaptKirby18]

@timdavies90 but I really want to know...was j-pop because I happen to have cartoons on my profile? grow the fuck up if so, I hope for your sake it was a randomly mindless insult not mindfully mindless insult

[CaptKirby18]

I do not think the drummer can hear the lead guitar at all or something, even Lady Gaga has better synchronization than this

[Dewxgong]

@CaptKirby18 obvitrollisobvi

[CaptKirby18]

@Dewxgong yeah but unfortunately this band also sucks ass, the guitarist and drummer are playing two different songs and NEITHER song is good

[carogm0508]

@CaptKirby18 damn sounds good. why are you complaining?

[CaptKirby18]

@carogm0508 when you are "forced" to listen to terrible music, naturally one complains

[3van1993]

@CaptKirby18 Russian Circles is not a band that sticks to what's expected. Tempo changes and off beat rythms are what make them unique

[CaptKirby18]

@3van1993 I am not talking about tempo changes, from the first second nothing about the band sticks together...if "what a band is all about" is not making musical sense, that is fine, I will enjoy music that actually has a coherent sound (no matter how sprawling that is) in the meantime

[garciasfinger]

Outstanding musicians. Awesome.

[biggstheclown]

fucking awesome video, i have to do a speech on this guys. first bit of work im gonna enjoy

[jakobstud]

Big Dave doing it! hell ya!

[JohnZeroQ]

God bless great music like this. Let the words in your mind sing a song for you

[fatrickification]

I just met one of these guys at a etf concert and he said he liked my whitechapel shirts

[lemonsquishy]

the bass is what makes this band so much better!!!! everything is amazing and then you hear that bass chugging along, its fantastic!

[CoolHandLuke121]

This is real, raw music.

[lovebreaksyou]

one of their songs plays after you beat dead space 2

[xrickyisdead15x]

@lovebreaksyou no shit thats great

[lovebreaksyou]

@xrickyisdead15x fathom

Beyond awesome.....

[cvela20032003]

28 of the people who viewed this are mentally disabled

[Fretdemonxxx]

@cvela20032003 so are the people that STILL leave comments like this.

[ultraninja89]

@Fretdemonxxx /it;s almost as annoying as those comments that tell you to pause videos and press buttons such as 4 and up or something to play snake.

[TeslaSMTM]

@ultraninja89 it does work though that one isn't bullshit

[cvela20032003]

@Fretdemonxxx offended easily, huh. Get your panties out of a bundle my friend haha.

[Fretdemonxxx]

@cvela20032003 How the fuck am I offended by this? I was stating that the "the number of people that disliked this are somehow related to the name of the video" comments are fucking overdone; they're on every fucking vid and people actually think they're clever?! Get the fuck over yourself, dude. Try to understand what's being said before responding. Thanks.

[cvela20032003]

@Fretdemonxxx I suppose I'll try, lol. honestly, I get bored rather easily. boredom= stupid comments on my part. i apologize.

[TheSweatBand]

Check out a new band called Inner City Lights

[Vool5]

this song is sick! ending is just pure awesomenesss

[MetalforLife22]

Sony NEX-3 is better :D

[davethehostage]

Really hating the debates over whether or not vocals are "good" for a band.

They're good for some, not so much for others. Certain songs I just can't imagine without vocals, and certain songs I would prefer vocals left out. Sometimes it fits, sometimes it doesn't.

On a side note, the riff around 3:21 sounds strikingly similar to a riff in "Capillarian Crest" by Mastodon.

[avyion13]

@davethehostage you're right, i picked up on that once i got to it.

[askulkoffoxes]

@davethehostage trouble is 'death rides a horse' was one of the tracks released on RC's debut self titled EP back in 2005... 1 year before Mastodon's Capillarian Crest. I noticed the similarities as well... and not just at 3:21.

[davethehostage]

@askulkoffoxes Interesting. I wasn't suggesting they'd ripped it off, just to be clear. Just thought it was noteworthy.

[askulkoffoxes]

@davethehostage NP, I realise you didnt suggest that anyone copied anyone else, but the similarity in percussion and guitar riffs at certain stages in the songs is striking and it is noteworthy... if anything it leaves me a little dissapointed in Mastodon!

[Carzix]

the only problem with this vid, is the double cut-away les paul... so ugly...

[lknkprkninflamesbest]

OMG WTF ARE ADVERTISEMENTS DOING HERE ON THIS VIDEO?

[mess0g]

@lknkprkninflamesbest They are here to ruin our lives.

[nalafy12]

@lknkprkninflamesbest Yeah man! Jaysus, fuck that shit!!

[lknkprkninflamesbest]

@nalafy12 Which one of my comments did you respond to and from how long ago was that particular comment? I haven't said anything on this video in a while.

[nalafy12]

@lknkprkninflamesbest the comment about adverts on this video!

[lknkprkninflamesbest]

@nalafy12 oh yeah....

[Merrylin]

This band is RAD!! I hope they come to Canada soon! I heard of these guys from a really good band in Calgary called ATOMIS that stated them as one of their influences....now I know why! Check out myspace. com/atomis

[mediattackrecords]

keep playing good luck with your business

[mediattackrecords]

reason is they could have made a whole album with this song and had any one of those guys do vocals this is just conceptual rock: EASY

[mediattackrecords]

at least it isnt totally dumb except for the fact that isnt exciting or risky enough van halen girl rock

[mediattackrecords]

duh this band sucks musically. conceptual name and album cover wasnt a bad idea. wheres the new sound?

[ThemBonez30]

Hmmmmm., Boring......... Took forever to get to the point.... if their was one......Don't get me wrong.... the music while waiting for something to happen was cool, haha

[dincz]

@shizbie93 No your post is not rock

[thenoiboi]

0:01 cough...

[infamousgorn]

@shizbie93 It's a joke.

[infamousgorn]

singers are so underrated

[dalboy83]

@infamousgorn  do you mean OVERRATED? underrated meaning there should be more singers for bands and more emphases on them.

[cernikadam]

fuck the words!

[catormis]

Ok, this drummer is an E.T. Cmon, we already know it.

[oooBOOSHooo]

singers are the best way to ruin a good band.

[mediattackrecords]

@oooBOOSHooo thats a typical rock stereotype man ive been in all kinds of rock and pop bands and stereotypes dont work the best

[xxswedexx]

@oooBOOSHooo dream theater for me. lol. No offense if anyone likes them...but i hate power metal vocals.

[hERDoFBAND]

@oooBOOSHooo

There are a lot of bands who I've listened to that make me really upset when the singer starts.

[dirtyuncledan]

totally agree!!!

[killyouwithmymind]

@oooBOOSHooo

Agreed. I can think of tons of great bands ruined by shitty singers.

[FakeFlourescentSkies]

@killyouwithmymind *cough*thefalloftroy*cough*

[omnitype007]

@FakeFlourescentSkies *cough*thefalloftroy blows compared to RC*cough*

[OtherSideOfFlat]

@killyouwithmymind Dream Theater is one of them

[theswanted]

@oooBOOSHooo With few but remarkable exceptions. Would you dare to assume that Tool needn't Maynard James Keenan?

[edgehead62888]

@theswanted To be honest, it would still be a phenomenal sound with or without the man. I'm not saying he isn't great, I'm just saying that the band is also part of the success.

[NaziAngel23]

mmm, russian cirlces. impressive and awesome as usual. i love them.

[MrKengentry]

dude these guys seriously need a poet or something its good but to be great you post a message with words

[nlo13]

@MrKengentry

100% false.

[catormis]

@MrKengentry Lol.

[cant3flip]

@MrKengentry i laughed so hard when i read your last post xD

[youreAfraggle]

@MrKengentry nope

[MrKengentry]

[MrKengentry]

okay just heard a bout these guys so far im impressed can they sing

[xxswedexx]

among all of the others listed...you cannot forget about Maserati or The mercury program.

[ZetsubouKitten]

Man this sounds awesome, lately I have gotten a lot into instrumental postrock/prog metal/whatever bands. Truly awesome shit. Also, these dudes look cool as hell :D
