Russian Circles - Malko

[durkadurka91]

I'm seriously obsessed with the guitar bit of this song. Good lord...NEVER heard anything like that before.

[morlalaith]

Russian-motherfucking-Circles

[stratocaster1986able]

I'm in heaven when I listen to this, especially the part from 0:00-1.30 I could die to that shit.

[judithfrommars]

I let my friend listen to this... she complained about it 'cos it had no vocals -.-... THIS DOES NOT NEED WORDS. THE MUSIC DESCRIBES IT ALL.

[PRANKcallRAWR]

WHY did i never know about these guys till NOW !!

[durkadurka91]

How can only three people create that much sickness?

[fivedaysinjune]

If you can, see 'em live. I did just that last nite and I'm very glad I did.

[TheWaveringRadiant]

great piece but their best album so far remains Station

[79camaro454]

@TheWaveringRadiant

Yes, They do put on a good show

[Azyyy3]

Reminds me of a slightly lighter DSHS. (Y).

[W78516]

Yes! These guys are great eh.

[TheSwampus]

the 3 dislikes must be lady ga-ga fans

[firozfuryu]

@ 1:30, the guy in the middle looks pissed with the direction the band has taken their music.

[lolh4x]

@firozfuryu You're a dumbass.

[FitterHappier1]

3:22 = An epic battle between robot dinosaurs.

[TheHucore]

<3

[n11n12]

Every time I hear 2:37 to 2:59, the drums make me want to fuck something up. Hard.

[403rd]

3 people are clearly deaf...

[FLAGGEDbyU2]

@403rd I think even deaf people would enjoy the vibrations from this, no they are probably people who are lost and hopeless without lyrics to tell them what to think

[iadonisi123]

this took like 20 minutes to load cause my schools internet sucks, but its been worth every minute waiting, and ill repeat it enough to make up for the 20 minutes

[ThereIsNoSpoon0007]

I need to learn how to play bass, just to try to be as badass as these guys, I already have a friend who plays guitar, and someone who drums, all I need is lessons and my guitarist friend in on it, and I have a small band!

[Onimyst]

@ThereIsNoSpoon0007 For another amazingly super awesome badass bassist check out Arif from Protest The Hero. Check out the music video for "Sequoia Throne".

[godsizedhole]

@ThereIsNoSpoon0007 Wow! Keep aiming high!

[HeadPhoneBoy112]

Might have to attempt to tab this.

[lakaiguy35]

The drummer owes me a new pair of pants and a shit load of paper towels...

[demonicBerith]

My brother is friends with the guy who started the band

[TheNewBelieversBand]

hey , does anybody know of any forums or anything where it might be possible to find a singer for a band of this style , in Essex - UK? Influences such as these , Tool , Deftones, Faith No More/Mike Patton projects , Melvins , Portishead , Isis , Meshuggah etc , Thanks would be a great help.

[SulkingSerpent]

@TheNewBelieversBand If you like this song u dont need a vocalist :D

[thebotchinaterdos]

Epic pic of their drummer at 3:20. The dude is pretty intense.

[Kharmaireth]

Saw this live. Was purely epic. They built it up to an extreme point with a lot of layering and stuff... then burst out with the intro riff. I felt like I was going to die.

[stratocaster1986able]

Can the first part possibly get any more melodic?

[M0ralHygiene]

nice

[minusthehair]

i bought there vinyl for like 30 bucks well worth it

[minusthehair]

i bought there vinyl for like 30 bucks well worth it

[jsmurley1289]

I really don't know why but post-rock and post-metal always makes me think of architecture or the sea for whatever reason. Anyway a mighty fine kick ass song.

[Mordeci819]

This is fucking fantastic driving music. Driving all alone down some random road at night and listening to them is awesome.

........But make sure to keep part of your brain focused on the process of driving too.....

[SordidSleeper]

Dave Turncrantz has the sexiest drumming I've ever heard since John Bonham! Goddamn that bass drum fills my room with thunder! <3

[DeadWhiteButterflies]

Mind = blown

[SparAssante]

I just caught 1 minute segments of Russian Circle's set tonight, while I was working security, at the Aquarium, in Fargo ND. Holy fuck are these guys worth listening to; heavy as fuck and very appealing. Probably one of the nicest, most respectful bands I've ever met, as well. I just had to buy "Geneva" (at their merch guy's suggestion) so I could truly appreciate this sonic assault, indelibly marked on my musical tastes. Fantastic show guys!

-Nick from the Aquarium

[behindyourtrouble]

awesome song, probably my favourite by them so far.

[Fraeg]

damn they are so good live. seen em with red sparowes 3 times now and everytime the Russian circles just steal the show (and I really like the red sparowes)

[theosiris20011021]

@Fraeg Dude I am so jealous. My love of the Red Sparowes led me to just discover Russian Circles and damn, they are on par....I would love to see them live. I weeks ago had the pleasure of seeing the Red Sparowes with Boris.

[FashionSicktim]

what kind of gibson is he playing? have a look at the head

[BenMGFletcher]

@FashionSicktim I think its one of those les paul double cut-aways

[RHCPfan]

@FashionSicktim The body looks like a Les Paul Doublecut, but the dot inlays and head, on the other hand, don't. Weird.

[0341593]

If I was to recreate the scene from The Shawshank Redemption, where the man plays music throughout the yard, I would play this band.

[mufeez666]

fuck this life aint fair! this is the music that should be on fucking MTV on that fucked up teeny happy shit!! MTV FUCK YOU!!!

[Toolophilia]

@mufeez666

Dude this LUCKILY istn aired on MTV! 'D you like those kiddys to eject their new J.LO CD and pop in Russian Circles?

Thank God MTV doesnt play this!

[petuniel]

@mufeez666 well my friend art is not supposed to be understood by the masses so guess this music does not need to be on mtv..im fine listening it here ..who watches mtv anyway lol..let em teeny happy shit have all the mtvs vivas and all crappy pseudomusic channels :)

[fermerwuvu]

@mufeez666 if I saw this song on mtv I would be sad =( Mtv sucks , great music is usually underrated and not popular. But that's what makes it unique =)

[specialkate00]

@mufeez666

MTV does NOT DESERVE it. The only channel that could have done it was: VIVA ZWEI.

amen.

[JxLamdin090]

They played this at the Thekla a couple of nights ago, was front and center for the whole set (seriously, I could smell Dave Turnacrantz). To say it was fucking unbelievable would be a gross understatement.

[suikerblok]

This is great...still have to wait a week before i can see them at Patronaat, Haarlem (NL)

[magocacana]

magnifici!!!

amazing

[ponyfang]

GO RC(:

[hollandjamess]

Good song. :]

[1907COMO]

PEZZO ENORME

[Shamanmagic95]

at 1:53 i was like FUCK YES

[intactus]

@Shamanmagic95 Hell yeah, best part of the song.

[skorli]

Ha cool I have that same strap at 0:50.

[mobman0]

THIS IS SO KOOL

[carriefuckingwickre]

i just saw them for the first time live. i was pretty excited and it was even better than i thought it was going to be. the best concert i have been to hands down, i have never felt so much emotion at a concert before. my eyes were closed most of the time, it was almost like i was meditating. the other bands they are touring with are good too. git some just made me laugh, perfect band to get you excited for them.

[KikaSupertramp]

wow I can't wait for to hear them live(:

[CrabSarcasm]

Dang,

I didn''t know about this new CD,

what a great suprise :)

[guy12343456]

What a great surpise is that I can't believe I haven't heard of this band.

For shame on me... :(

[fuzybass]

just saw these guys live in tempe last week. freaking amazing.

[JuniorX]

In my opinion the internet is great for smaller bands, but hurtful for big names.

Oh well, nothing is perfect, what helps you can hurt you, I guess it evens out in the end.

By the way, Russian Circles rock! Loving the new album!

Rock on!

[jordanm06111]

Easy there captain.

[johncm1989]

Definately the best band in their genre

Although the new album doesnt show much in the way of progression. The sound of Geneva sits somewhere inbetween the high notes of the first album and the meatier riffs off station

Geneva is probably their most well rounded album to date.

[Hedon11]

wow this new album is great

[COLUMBINE1818]

When I got the album i was planning on listening to it in pieces. I had a few other things to do around the house, but after I started listening to the album I became so enthralled that I sat there and listened to the entire album straight through. It's just plain amazing.

[jordanm06111]

Im pissed that people download the leaked version of the album. Support talented artists damnit!

[toge2001]

Agreed, but I love these guys so much that even though I preordered the album I'm still fishing youtube for the leaks hehe

[fungusamongus89]

This issue is definitely a double edged sword. I don't have the money to go buying 10 cds a week, but I've bought many albums from talented artists including Russian Circles because I had the chance to sample them first. New record is superb, woudn't expect anything less.

[Opfertod]

yep, I totally agree with you...

for example Pelican now uploaded their new album to myspace, so people can listen to it first and if they like it they can buy the CD because it has better sound etc...and I think this album is wonderful, so everyone who can, should buy it ;)

[jdeccio]

i try to buy as many albums as i can especially local and not so famous artists that i like but it is also good to keep in mind that most artists make most their profit off of shows and merchandise. but still always support good art as much as possible.

[DHAR3070]

or just go to their shows, where they actually get a reasonable share of the earnings.....

its hardly as if there are musicians on the streets because of piracy

[kalamari]

I know what you're saying is right, but leaking songs onto YouTube is great exposure for a band like Russian Circles. I myself would have been totally unaware the new album was coming out if this wasn't on YouTube, and I have been able to refer 3 friends to purchase the album as a result. Whether these tracks will stay up for much longer is another issue...

[ot63]

i will support them by seeing their show in my area and buying a tshirt. You need to learn how musicians make money.

[jordanm06111]

Hey, I respect your comment but I understand that musicians make a lot more money through there gigs than anything else but don't you think if you buy the CD rather then downloading it, your supporting them a bit more?

[ot63]

since i have a finite amount of money to spend, i am able to listen to more music and discover new bands at a great rate by downloading music. If I was not able to obtain Russian Circles' music for free, it would be highly unlikely I would know who they were at all. In the long run, more wealth is gained by the free sharing of music for nearly every band.

[jordanm06111]

Thats cool and I agree, the free sharing of music displayed on youtube does provide "free advertisement" and I do think thats great but listening to it is a totally different concept then downloading it. These days, almost every band can be listened to on youtube and not downloaded.

[ot63]

The only difference I see is that listening to music on youtube simply takes more time because you have to search for each song individually which only limits the amount of music you can listen to. By downloading and listening through your library, you can listen to more music, discover more bands, and earn more bands a greater profit in the end.

[jordanm06111]

An another difference is that one is illegal and one is legal and I could go on but hey, I had a fun time with this argument, an intelligent one to say the least, but Im off. Cya

[ot63]

but didn't we just conclude that it shouldn't be illegal? ;) cheers.

[jordanm06111]

Haha very true

[SnEaX01]

That statement is entirely not true, It might mean more people show up for there shoes, but bringing down the business of music will also bring down the channels in which music is made popular. It will ultimately result in bands having less exposure over vast amounts of people. There might be a few big bands but it illegal downloading hurts the music business it will eventually hurt the awareness people of new bands.

[ot63]

Why would a band need to pay a label when they can use the much more powerful internet to gain exposure. The record companies are what kill bands. Any band that thinks record labels are a vital part of their existence are being handcuffed, are lazy and not going anywhere, and most of all, have no faith in their listeners who ultimately decide everything about their success.

[ezekieloak]

Yeah, I don't know what I would do without 'the channels' spoon feeding me.

[koglowa]

@jordanm06111 these guys need the publicity, I thin support should be shown by going to a show, not by paying a record label and giving the actual artist a "cut".

[stopglobalswarming]

@jordanm06111 Thanks to whoever "leaked" it, or else I would have never heard of this band.

[Universe593]

@jordanm06111 for non mainstream i agree. But I'd never ever give money to artists who have more money than they need, no matter how good they were. Not saying RC is like that ;)

[jordanm06111]

@Universe593 Agreed 100%

[Nuclearlion73]

@Universe593 So you support buying anything and everything else? The company who supplies your internet, has more money than you can fucking imagine; why're you giving them your money? The owner of whatever fast-food business you stuff in your face has more money than your Internet Provider, why do you still eat there? Not buying something because the owner has a lot of money, is the most retarded thing I've ever heard. It's so stupid i can't even comprehend it.

[Universe593]

@Nuclearlion73 Not really, I find that not giving money to various capitalistic institutions (whener i can) promotes economic equality, no matter how small the measure. Every cent I "steal" from Microsoft or Tom Cruise and give to someone who actually deserves it brings us closer to a classless society ;)

Both your assumptions about me are incorrect as well.

[Nuclearlion73]

@Universe593 They're still making millions and millions of dollars whether you buy from them or not. It's not like your couple dollars is the difference between them thriving, or crumbling. Also, it's not really "stealing", it's more like denying a sale, which is the same as not having sold at all.

[Universe593]

@Nuclearlion73 whatever, if there were millions of people like me, it would make a difference, and there probably are. I mean, look at TPB alone. That's millions of dollars lost alone. Nuff for me ;)

[KYgelly]

@Universe593 the record company makes most of the money off cd's, they make most of their money from concerts. True story.

[TheMysticbeat]

@jordanm06111 So true, but trust me, these guys would rather see you at one of their gigs then you buying there album!! The more people it reaches the better. Buy it at one of their gigs, get it signed and rock on!

:-)

[Tb0neZ5]

@jordanm06111 sometimes its really hard to wait. when everyone is listening to an album before its out and they are talking about it its hard to resist.

[HenriTrakinasXD]

@jordanm06111 Most of the band income come from live performances. And you can still buy the album after downloading it.

And that guys are fucking talented.

[intactus]

@jordanm06111 I own this album, my friend. My brother lost it. This is all I got LEFT! But yeah, BUY THIS CD. EVERYONE.

[epicassassin22]

@jordanm06111 In this economy??

[intactus]

@epicassassin22

See my comment.

It's under 20 dollars.

IT'S TOTALLY WORTH IT.

[pinchfiza]

@jordanm06111 Fuck you, bro.

[jordanm06111]

@pinchfiza Fuck you too buddy

[horseracer333]

@jordanm06111 LOL Fuck both of you

[jordanm06111]

@horseracer333 ;)

[horseracer333]

@jordanm06111 huh?? haha lol

[TheWitcherFanboy]

@jordanm06111 I will just download thanks.

[chrisfgill]

little worried it's getting lost at times, but great stuff anyway

[ThrillMonger]

good opinion

[n11n12]

Damn...just DAMN!

[mikewtp]

Oh and one more thing. If you know anything about GY!BE the second last song on this album really feels like one of theirs in some ways. It's incredible.

[mikewtp]

The new album is something different. It definably improves over Station. But there are some surprises that you'll be pleasantly shocked by. I won't say much more than that I don't want to ruin it for people.

[sbsrocks]

wow!!!!

Want to see them again in ireland sooon

[johncm1989]

If the new album improves over station I will b impressed, especially since station is one of my favourite albums ever

[dave3ac]

This song is phenomenal. I fakin lav eet.

[itLEAKED]

have the album, and it is AMAZING.....great band....glad they are able to create such beautiful music

[MrFouragreements]

boo yaaah!

[luislobillo]

que bueno!!!

[endoftheline9]

Rush in Circles

[BOTCHED]

This song is amazing, can't wait for the rest of the album.

[jenzo1981]

Russian Circles ftw...!

Hope they will come to Germany next Year.

I love the sound auf "Stations" and "Geneva" will be the shit!

[Inresurrection]

This shit is so epic.
