Russian Circles “are back to hypnotize headbangers” (Revolver). This Friday, they will release their new album, Nine, via Sargent House, and today they present, “Seventh Seal.”
Following the hypnotic “Eluvial” and “Empath,” “Seventh Seal" is the album’s dark closer. Taking inspiration from Cliff Burton-era Metallica’s penchant for pairing melancholic classical guitar passages with the blunt force trauma of their heaviest tracks, on “Seventh Seal,” the stark beauty of guitarist Mike Sullivan’s nylon string solo composition ushers in the band’s most unapologetically straightforward metallic assault.
Russian Circles’ North American Headline tour is also now on sale. Check out the full list of dates below.
REZN have just announced a tour through Europe and the UK next year in honor of their new record Cycles in the Infinite Dream. They will be joined by the amazing Coltaine for select EU shows and supporting Elder for the UK dates.
"a sprawling, psychedelic opus filled with melody, melancholy and a dreamy, doom-soaked atmosphere.” - Decibel
"If 2024’s breakout album Burden sounded like an ominous transmission from the cosmic depths, then Cycles in the Infinite Dream trades outer space for inner space, recalibrating those hostile frequencies in favor of a heaviness that registers as more organic, more human.” - Bandcamp
"Shape-shifting psychedelic-doom that touches on everything they’ve done before – whilst delivering fresh riffs and stunning new vocal hooks, REZN keep innovating and colliding genres with Cycles in the Infinite Dream.” - Everything Is Noise
Today, REZN release their new album Cycles in the Infinite Dream.
With Cycles in the Infinite Dream, REZN masterfully harness the oppressive weight of their full sonic armory to celestial melodies and sublime synesthesia-inducing atmospherics in a manner so seamless it feels otherworldly, as if occupying a liminal space between two realities.
We’re so excited to see the reaction from fans. It’s an honor to work with such an incredible group of musicians. Check out the videos below and order your copy of the album above.
Later this year, REZN will bring their “progressive psych-doom metal” (Treble) across the United States. Tickets are on sale below.
"Powerful instru-metallists Russian Circles are back to hypnotize headbangers.” – Revolver
Russian Circles, “exemplars of post-rock and post-metal” (Pitchfork), present “Eluvial,” the second single/video from their new album, Nine, out August 28th via Sargent House.
Arriving on the heels of “Empath,” which “showcases the evolving toughness of Russian Circles’ sound,” (Consequence), “Eluvial” is Nine’s grand centerpiece.
Russian Circles’ North American Headline tour is also now on sale. Check out the full list of dates below.
Hammok have announced even more tour dates for 2026. They will be supporting both Nothing and Sparta on their upcoming European tours. All tickets are available at the link below.
REZN have released “Aerial Birth,” the third single from their forthcoming record Cycles in the Infinite Dream available everywhere July 24, 2026.
This record introduces a new tool in REZN’s trade: Spencer Ouellette’s lap steel guitar. The instrument conjures the extraterrestrial weightlessness of the pedal steel guitar featured on Brian Eno’s Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks album, providing a similar bridge between cosmic ambience and the wide-open terrains of Western music. This is showcased on “Aerial Birth,” where Phil Cangelosi’s roiling basslines provide the counterweight to Ouellette’s helium-grade lap steel before thick slabs of distortion and Patrick Dunn’s rhythmic battery pull everything back to a gravitational center. Throughout, Rob McWilliams’ voice is as beguiling as ever.
In August, they return to the states for another headlining US tour. All tickets are on-sale at the link below. Don’t miss the chance to hear Cycles in the Infinite Dream live.
The North American Headline tour in support of NINE just announced. Support from Pelican for fist leg September 25 - October 13 and Primitive Man support second leg from November 4 - 21st. Tickets on sale June 26, 2026 at 10am.
“Evolving from within Oslo’s contemporary post-hardcore circuit, Hammok stand out by blending aggressive energy with heavily textured production.” - Music Connection
“Another ripper” - Brooklyn Vegan
Hammok is an Oslo trio of vocalist/guitarist Tobias Osland, drummer Ferdinand Aasheim, and bassist Ole Benjamin Thomassen. Today, their album When Does This Place Become Our Scene is available everywhere.
This is an album that captures polarities of underground intensity and pop sensibility. When Does This Place Become Our Scene is equal parts scream-along cathartic and nod-along infectious.
We couldn’t be more excited to put this record out into the world. Check out the videos below and order your copy of the album above.
Hammok will be on tour throughout Europe in October supporting Sparta. They will also be playing some summer festivals. Check the full list of dates at the link below.

Today, The Armed release their new album, THE FUTURE IS HERE AND EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED, via Sargent House.
“…some of its heaviest music yet: visceral, vital, and filled with desperate, righteous anger.” - Pitchfork
“This is the record that we didn’t realize we needed at this exact moment.” - NPR
“The chaos on this new album is thrilling.” - Stereogum (Album of the Week)
“…a hurtling, screaming, overloaded barrage of fury at a 21st-century hellscape.” - The New York Times
After completing a trilogy of albums laser-focused on dissecting artistic authenticity in the Information Age, The Armed began work on new material with no premeditated rules or concepts—favoring only raw expression and urgency to herald a new era for the project. What emerged is a furious and confrontational new album—THE FUTURE IS HERE AND EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED. Still genre-defying, yet overtly pissed, it's an unfiltered expression of Weltschmerz, the German term describing the anguish of the world’s reality versus our idealized visions of what it should be. “It’s music for a statistically wealthy population that somehow can’t afford food or medicine—endlessly scrolling past vacation photos, gym selfies, and images of child amputees in the same feed. It reflects the dissociation required just to exist in that reality,” vocalist Tony Wolski explains.
The album includes performances by Ken Szymanski, Patrick Shiroishi, Urian Hackney, Kurt Ballou, Troy Van Leeuwen, Meghan O’Neil, Cara Drolshagen, Tony Wolski, Brian Wolski, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Ben Chisholm, Prostitute, Zach Weeks, Mark Guiliana, Kayleigh Goldsworthy, and Derek Coburn.
The Armed embark on their US tour with Prostitute mid-August before a stint with Biffy Clyro in the UK and Ireland January 2026.
Russian Circles will be playing their final Gnosis shows in the US before they begin their next album. Blackwater Holylight is joining them for the majority of the dates and their longtime tour mates Young Widows for the last two in Nashville and Chicago.
