Russian Circles is one of the most important bands from the post metal movement, they're a trio from Chicago, formed in 2004. Most of their work is instrumental, but the newer releases feature some vocals, most prominently on the 2013 album "Memorial", that features Chelsea Wolfe singing in the title track.
The band was formed by guitarist Mike Sullivan and bassist Colin DeKuiper, both former members of Dakota. They recruited drummer Dave Turncrantz, ex-Riddle of Steel. After the release of their debut, "Enter", Colin exit the band and was replaced by Brian Cook, who had already played in Botch.
Their sound is very similar to that of Pelican, though they have shorter and more straight-forward songs. Their songwriting is rather simple, dedicateed to being played by a single three-piece band, with minimalistic parts added together to increase the atmosphere. This is very noticeable on "Geneva", which features a lot of other instruments but has a very simple songwriting. Their sound relies on the post-rock maximum of "using rock instruments to make non rock music", but heavier and harsher. They stray away from conventional soundscapes to create straight-forward dynamic and progressive metal.
First two albums plus Empros are pretty good for Pelican fans. Geneva has more appeal to prog fans and the last two incorporate a lighter sound.
