Listen to a new Russian Circles song named after their "awesome" European driver

by Tyler Munro

Russian Circles is one of the many bands doing the instru-metal post-sludge whatever-metal thing, but of the seemingly innumerable bands joining them, they seem to be one of the few willing to have a bit of fun with it. Case in point their new song, “Mladek,” which is named after their European bus driver.

Why name a song after your European driver, you ask?  As the band tells Rolling Stone, who premiered the song yesterday, “because he’s awesome”.

That’s actually the reason. “He’s a wealth of knowledge on European history, a towering tattooed hirsute Eastern European brute, a lover of ’90s hardcore ice cream bars, and proud fetishist with more bizarre sexual proclivities than any other person I know.”

Speaking of awesome? The song. You can stream ‘er below.
