Russian Circles share new track, “Afrika”

On August 5, Russian Circles will release their new album, Guidance, via Sargent House. The band has already released a couple of tracks from the album, first “Vorel” then “Mota.” Today, they have yet another track to stream ahead of the album’s release, titled “Afrika.” Despite the name, it doesn’t sound like it’s inspired by Afrika Bambaataa, or, say, Fela Kuti. It is, however, yet another example of the band’s powerful and emotional instrumental metal, signifying strong things to come for the band.

Listen to the Russian Circles “Afrika” stream below, and take a look at the band’s updated tour dates.

Russian Circles Guidance tracklist:

1. Asa
