Interview with guitarist Mike Sullivan

Chicago’s Russian Circles, comprised of guitarist Mike Sullivan, drummer Dave Turncrantz, and bassist Brian Cook, dropped Blood Year through Sargent House on Aug. 2. 

Ahead of the new album, the instrumental trio released “Arluck,” a song with intricate and dissonant hooks, search-and-destroy drumbeats, and aggressive basslines. The single is a technically impressive banger that alternates between moments of tranquility and broadly powerful episodes.

Over the past decade, an influx of singer-songwriters has been infiltrating the metal world and reinventing the idea of what constitutes heavy music. 

Artists like Chelsea Wolfe, Emma Ruth Rundle, A.A. Williams and Louise Lemón, not to mention Marissa Nadler, Anna von Hausswolff and Nicole Sabouné, are all embracing darkness in a raw, visceral way, pushing boundaries of genre and style. 

Chelsea Wolfe shares new track, 'Be All Things' from her upcoming release, "Birth of Violence" – out September 13th on Sargent House..

Stay fucking alert. Keep your eyes and ears fastened on the trio that stands before you, pummeling their instruments to the hilt while launching forth their brain-piercing sound. 

You have entered Helms Alee's realm and you're better off for it. 

(via PopMatters)

On her 2018 debut All Bitches Die, Kristin Hayter, aka Lingua Ignota, introduced a truly abrasive blend of opera, neoclassical darkwave, and death industrial. From deep croons over thumping pianos to piercing screams over distorted noise-scapes, her first album covered the entire spectrum of dismality. Even more, this melodramatic hybrid was not a cheap aesthetic gimmick but rather a necessary vehicle. For, Hayter's lyrics deeply engages with the many enduring traumas that come from misogyny and domestic abuse.

I don’t know how Blis. does it. Viewed as an assemblage of individual parts, their songs don’t always appear to be especially revelatory— just solid post-hardcore fare getting by on moody dynamics and ‘90s nostalgia. But with every release the band prove themselves to be a consummate songwriting unit, consistently turning out music that is catchy, explosive, and emotionally gripping.
