Russian Circles' Brian Cook Profiled in Alternative Press

Download: Russian Circles - "Death Rides a Horse"

Recently, Brian Cook, of local post-metal trio Russian Circles was the subject of a profile in Alternative Press magazine. The feature is a recurring one titled "Musician of the Month". Amongst the questions asked were whether or not Cook had any formal training before he started playing, who influenced his style, and if he practices his instrument at home. Read the feature here.

In other Circles news, the trio is putting together a more exclusive email list so that they can best deliver new songs and pertinent news to those who might actually care (as opposed to some of the "friends" on MySpace). To sign up, check out their MySpace blog here.

From a Russian Circles MySpace Bulletin:

First off, we wanted to thank everyone for coming out to see us this summer. It was by far the most fun we've had on tour, EVER. We are also getting set for our massive European tour with our good friends/label mates These arms are snakes. We will have a limited edition split 12" with These arms arms are snakes for you lucky Europeans. We are also working on a few US dates this December/January! We'll keep you posted on those... And finally, we are happy to announce that we have started writing for our new record. We couldn't be more excited with the songs we've been writing. If all goes as planned we will be recording early next year

.

The record in question will be a follow-up to this year's Station.
