"Empros is one of the most viscerally
exciting and completely entertaining albums I've heard in a long time. There
is perfection in the air and the battle for album of the year just heated up
again." 10/10 rating -- Iann Robinson, Crave Online
"It's not a stretch to say it's the band's best album
yet." -- Rock-A-Rolla
Chicago trio Russian Circles announce North American and Australian/New Zealand headlining dates beginning this month and running well into Fall. The band will be supported by a plethora of Sargent House family bands along the way, including And So I Watch You From Afar, Chelsea Wolfe,Marriages, Indian Handcrafts, Deafheaven and Crypts. Please see complete dates below. This continues Russian Circles' already lengthy treks in support of their critically praised new albumEmpros. SPIN Magazine recently featured a full album stream of Empros. The band also recently premiered an MP3 from the album via RollingStone.com. Russian Circles return with not only their fourth and heaviest album to date -- but also with Emprosthey're poised to take the crown as innovators reinvigorating the staid trappings of genre. Emprospicks up where the anthemic riffs and melodies of 2009's Geneva left off and injects evermore slithering rhythms amid skull-crushing heft with all the visceral intensity of Godflesh, Swans andNeurosis. Put simply, Empros is Russian Circles' Master of Reality: a radical revision of both heavy and melody that is monolithic in its clarity and perfection. Or, like a lone surviving wooly beast emerging from a brutal winter's frost, Empros is the sound of a band shaking the ages from its shoulders with all the brutal force of a behemoth awakened. Empros is Russian Circles' first full-length to be released worldwide exclusively via Sargent House, the band's longtime management company and record label that had previously released only the vinyl editions of its three prior albums. It was released on LP, CD and Download on October 25th, 2011.
