Russian Circles

"Memorial" (ft. Chelsea Wolfe)

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Sep 13, 2013

Though known for their powerful, post-metal instrumentals, Russian Circles have just premiered the Chelsea Wolfe-sung title track from their impending Memorial LP.

The Chicago trio set up the song with fluttery acoustic guitar work, ambient six-string pulls and a groundswell of hammered drums, while Wolfe's breathy vocals slowly surge to the forefront on an echo-lined plume of smoke.

You can sample the heady album closer down below.

As previously reported, Russian Circles are touring Europe with Wolfe this fall, suggesting they could be teaming up on stage to tackle the number any number of nights. Russian Circles, meanwhile, expect to tour North America in 2014.

Memorial drops October 29 through Sargent House.
