Russian Circles's Gnosis was released via Sargent House. The album did well in the charts upon release, particularly in the UK Rock & Metal albums chart. Band member Mike Sullivan talked about Gnosis in an exclusive interview with New Noise Magazine on September 16, 2022, elaborating on the 'heaviness' of the sound in the album:
"It’s something we’ve always been kind of moving towards — heavier music. When we play live, we definitely gravitate towards playing heavier material just because that seems to translate more, and it’s more fun, and it just feels like a better performance that way."
The guitarist continued:
"So sometimes when writing, it’s good to just be like, well, let’s just lean into this a little bit because that seems to be more beneficial for everybody.With the pandemic, we were all isolated, so we were all in our own worlds. We could listen to whatever the heck we want, which will effect writing, obviously."
He added:
"I, for one, was listening to a lot of metal, which is not rare for me, but more than usual—just kind of like a psychopath listening to the same records on repeat, just studying the songs and literally learning the songs by these bands that I love. And I think via osmosis that just oozed out after just fully committing to certain bands for months on end."
Russian Circles consists of the trio of Mike Sullivan, Dave Turncrantz and Brian Cook. The band is best known for albums such as Memorial, Blood Year and Gnosis.
