Riverside - Set To Release EP

For their 10th birthday Polish prog metallers Riverside have prepared a special release which will be available during the forthcoming tour. The EP entitled Memories In My Head contains 33 minutes of fresh music.

Vocalist/ Bassist Mariusz Duda gives more insight about the EP: "This new material, concerning (for obvious reasons) the themes of the passing time, will be a pleasant surprise for those who have missed the specific kind of melodies and space known from the bands early releases. We have consciously gone back to our beginnings to create a certain kind of a circle. This mini-album will contain three longer compositions most resembling those from our first two albums. The result is a quite interesting, spacious, film-soundtrackish, nostalgic, and most of all rock mixture, summing up our career's first decade quite well. Memories In My Head is an album which appears out of nowhere, without much promotion; we hope, though, that its content can defend itself and that it will evoke a lot of positive emotions. It does that to us, and we will prove it soon, playing those songs live at our upcoming gigs."

The concerts at which it will be possible to buy this mini-album and hear the new songs live will begin on 5th of May in Prague (CZ) and finish on 29th of May in Warsaw (PL). Tides From Nebula, a band from Poland, will support Riverside at the 12 European concerts, and The Pineapple Thief from Great Britain and Paatos from Sweden will do the same at the 6 Polish gigs.

All Riverside Anniversary Tour dates can be at this location.

Memories In My Head tracklist:

01. Goodbye Sweet Innocence
02. Living In The Past
03. Forgotten Land

Riverside - Frontman Releases Another Solo Album

Riverside vocalist/bassist Mariusz Duda is just about to finish recording the material for his second album Lunatic Soul II. Everthing, for the first time is being done in the Serakos studio in Warsaw and is supervised by Robert Srzednicki and Magda Srzednicka. At the moment the work is focused on the vocal parts; and the mixing and mastering of the material is due in August.

Lunatic Soul's White Album is a continuation of the debut. It is the second part of the diptych about the journey through the land of the dead. "White" ? because this album's cover is... the negative image of the first one.

"There is a little fear that the listeners, seeing a white cover with the characteristic sign and logo 'lunatic soul' but without any '2' or 'II,' will think that it is a kind of re-release of the first album," says the author of Lunatic Soul. "That's why I'd like to highlight that it's going to be entirely new material, and the cover looks as it looks because since the beginning it was supposed to be a black and white diptych. Lunatic Soul is simply a double album divided into two single ones by the period of two years' anticipation. And now there comes the time for its second and last part."

Mariusz Duda added: "It's still a story about the journey through the afterworld, and more specifically about a journey through a certain place that exists somewhere in-between. White doesn't refer here to a literal return to life. The protagonist will still remain on the other side. White doesn't mean that instead of dark sounds we'll hear happy songs and nightingales singing, either. It will still be very characteristic, trans-like, and (as I like to call it) oriental-alternative musical journey. In many places maybe even a little more oriental and maybe more unsetting. For instance, in one of the songs the protagonist will find himself surrounded by four white naked walls, dressed in... a straitjacket. Of course I wanted to create a lot of "light" sounds, a certain kind of lightness, on this album. And I admit that in many moments?with the help of Robert and Magda?I've accomplished exactly what I was dreaming of. It will surely still be a blend of everything I like, from Dead Can Dance, Peter Gabriel from IV or Passion , through films and books about ghosts, up to my favourite Silent Hill, yet I can already hear that the second album, despite the continuation, will sound differently. I hope, though, that the sounds on it will not leave the majority of the lunatic souls indifferent.".
