Those who have yet to experience Russian Circles can get ready to be dazzled, expect a concoction of metal trimmings, minimal jazz primers, cryptic riffs and lumbering layers of chiseled post rock and feathery psychedelic infusions have both revved and enticed the listeners into mental orgasms the world over.
Their self titled and self released EP from 2005 sold out shortly after their initial pressings. It wasnt long before their 2006 debut long player, Enter, dropped with a booming impact and saw them sharing the stage with the likes of Tool, Dalek, Daughters and Pelican.
And now comes Russian Circles second full length album entitled Station. Produced by Matt Bayles, Station is due for release on May 6th 2008 on Suicide Squeeze Records. Joining Sullivan and Dave Turncrantz (Drums) on the recording was These Arms are Snakes / Botch bassist Brian Cook with Morgan Henderson of The Blood Brothers also lending his skills on double bass to the track Xavii.
While Russian Circles are picking up where they left off with Enter, Station is guaranteed to be a new passage for a band already known for paving their own unique paths of sonic tundras that jolt the mind and body and will not only leave its mark on 2008 but on the future influence of music as a whole.
Enter Torche, the four-pronged Floridian Riff Colossus who have steamrolled their way across the international underground.
Led by vocalist/guitarist Steve Brooks (formerly of doom dropouts Floor) and featuring the myriad talents of drummer Rick Smith, bassist Jonathan Nuñez and guitarist Juan Montoya, Torche are set to released their stonker of an album Meanderthal on Hydra Head Records in 2008 following their self-titled debut in 2005.
Call it the bands second official full-length and follow-up to last years six-song mini-epic In Return, released exclusively on hallucinogenic vinyl. Call it the latest and greatest bomb-string stoner pop/thunder rock/doom pop classic from Torche mastermind Steve Brooks and his fellow hook heroes. Call it the sweetest, catchiest, hugest riff colossus since Sky Valley. Shit, call it Album Of The Year if you want. Thats what were going with, anyway!
Having had both the underground and mainstream press with their hands halfway down their pants just thinking about listening to Torche, the band have been immediately lauded as giants among men, leaders among sheep, and powerbrokers of a deadly new sonic idiom founded upon Brooks signature bomb-string detonation-detune.
