Instru-Metal Icons Russian Circles Return to San Antonio This Fall

At almost 14 years, Russian Circles has continued to be one of the leaders in the post-rock, alternative-metal, post-metal (or instru-metal if you’re a nerd like me) communities.

Punctuated by their sometimes terrifying crescendos, the three-piece create a sort of magical dark metal that feels like a swirling mist that might surround a witch as she’s preparing to destroy some Eastern European town that’s scorned her. It’s altogether beautiful and spooky and we’re more than stoked to announce that they’re headed back to San Antonio with Austin’s own Dallas Acid at Paper Tiger on Saturday, October 13.

KEEP SA CURRENT!

Since 1986, the SA Current has served as the free, independent voice of San Antonio, and we want to keep it that way.

Becoming an SA Current Supporter for as little as $5 a month allows us to continue offering readers access to our coverage of local news, food, nightlife, events, and culture with no paywalls.

Join today to keep San Antonio Current.

The band recently announced that they’re be working on their seventh album but didn’t say whether or not it’d be released by this tour, which includes post-doom mother of darkness, Chelsea Wolfe for the first half of the tour (we’ll miss you Chelsea, *sobs quietly*).
