A precise and infallible organism with absolutely no signs of wear and tear, Russian Circles have been trodding a path for a decade and a half that has made them an essential presence in any compendium of heavy instrumental music. Owners of an unmistakable sonic identity, a result of the marriage between Brian Cook’s seismic bass groove, Dave Turncrantz’s dazzling drum mastery, and the labyrinthine gallop of Mike Sullivan’s guitar, the Chicago band finally returns to Portugal in 2022 to present Blood Year, the new chapter in a collection already packed with classics such as Station, Geneva or Memorial. Now rescheduled due to the Covid-19 pandemic, write it down in your schedule because it will be unforgettable: April 29th in Porto (Hard Club) and April 30th in Lisbon (LAV-Lisboa ao Vivo).
Accompanying Russian Circles will once again be Helms Alee, after the two bands formed an accurate team when they visited Lisbon, in 2015. And, again, Helms Alee will show why their discography is one of the best Noise rock/sludge kept secrets, mating the weight and groove of the Melvins school with the bitterness of the best indie rock. On the occasion, the Seattle trio will present their next album, which will follow the 2019 release Noctiluca.
