**Russian Circles** is a post-rock and post-metal band from Chicago, Illinois. The trio was founded in 2004 by guitarists **Mike Sullivan** and **Colin DeKuiper** (later he was changed by **Brian Cook**) and drummer **Dave Turncrantz**. The name **"Russian Circles"** comes from a hockey training exercise, the band has nothing to do with the country of Russia.

The very first album released in 2006 and called **Enter** brought to the band success and put the newcomers on a par with the veterans of the scene. A group of just three musicians (guitar, bass and drums) managed to achieve an amazingly dense sound. The next albums of **Russian Circles** strengthened success, raising the musicians higher and higher to the musical Olympus.
To date, the band has released seven albums.

2019 - **Blood Year**
2016 - **Guidance**
2013 - **Memorial**
2011 - **Empros**
2009 - **Geneva**
2008 - **Station**
2006 - **Enter**
