Russian Circles - Melee [post-metal, post-rock]

Russian Circles are a post-metal/post-rock band from Chicago. Since their inception in 2004, they have released a total of four albums and a handful of EPs. The band has been been notable in their ability to replicate their album sound in their live shows, particular with their first two albums. However, the band has stated they've moved away from that to have a greater focus on creating "compelling albums" starting with their 2009 album Geneva.

Although they've released an album since (Empros, 2011), this post is about song from Geneva: "Melee", marked by heaviness but careful never to drown out the melodies and harmonies.
