PICTURE THIS: Russian Circles + KEN mode + Helms Alee @ El Rey Theatre, LA 3/10/14

March 11. 2014 | By Christopher Bacarella

Satan commandeering Godspeed You! Black Emperor would be an apt way to describe Russian Circles‘ punishing post-rock sound. The combined hardcore noise of KEN mode and Helms Alee helped get the El Rey crowd in the head banging mood for Russian Circles’ monster set, which included new music from their new album, Memorial. Chelsea Wolfe also made a guest appearance during the encore to sing the title track off the new album.
