A Storm Of Light - Tempest

Apocalyptic metal band "A Storm of Light" is a band from Brooklyn, they play a nice mixture of "Doom Metal/Post-Rock".

Formed by multi-faced artist/musician Josh Graham, who has been a longtime visual collaborator of the band Neurosis. The band can be seen as an amalgamation of his other bands such as Neurosis, Red Sparowes and Battle Of Mice. It's Doomsday Dark, epic, massive. A Storm Of Light have become a whole new musical entity on its own merits, taking singer/guitarist Graham’s experiences from his previous musical repertoire and finding its own unique voice through the vessel known as A Storm of Light. The group is completed by bassist Domenic Seita, drummer Billy Graves and guitarist Andrea Black. Last album "As The Valley Of Death Becomes Us, Our Silver Memories Fade "was released last year. Domenic Seita also works as a Bass tech for Al during the Sleep tour.

Was only able to hear 1½ song live as i was late to the venue, the little I heard sounded splendid. Here is a few pictures from the show, not many.

Todays tune "Tempest" is taken from the second album "Forgive Us Our Trespasses" released 22 September 2009.

Russian Circles - Mladek

Russian Circles is a three piece instrumental rock/metal band from Chicago. Russian Circles play instrumental, sprawling music which runs the gamut of heavy discordant metal, to soft delicate passages.

They are also known for their energetic live shows and this evening they are playing at Strand here in Stockholm, if you do not have any plans for tonight, now you know where to go, 120 SEK on the door.

Russian Circles (headliner) is touring with Deafheaven, in their earlier days they toured with the likes of Boris, Isis, Red Sparowes, Minus the Bear, Daughters, Coheed & Cambria, Mono, and Pelican.

Last year, Russian Circles signed to Sargent House who had previously only exclusively released the band's albums on limited edition vinyl. Their fourth studio album Empros was released on October 25, 2011. A supporting tour with Deafheaven followed the release and is still going on and hits Stockholm, Sweden this evening.

When performing live, the band is noted for being able to replicate and even expand upon their recorded material through Sullivan and Cook's use of sampling, extensive array of effects pedals and loop pedals to build layers of sound.

Russian Circles's latest album Empros features at times a heavier feel to some of the songs. Their name is taken from a drill exercise used in the game of ice hockey.

Todays tune "Mládek" is taken from the latest and the fourth studio album "Empros"
The title of the song was named after Tomas Mládek, Russian Circles' European tour bus driver.
