From
out of nowhere Riverside rose up from the ashes with last years "Out of Myself". An
album that catapulted Riverside to new dimensions, and got them a gig at last years ProgPower festival
in Holland. Their performance there and the buzz surrounding the band let to
InsideOut Music picking them up...
Now
they are ready with the second part of a trilogy, and their first album
on the InsideOut label. "Second Life Syndrome" continues where
the debut album left us, with some very well crafted dark and
atmospheric metal songs with touches once more of Porcupine Tree and
Opeth. The songs on this album are a tad harder and darker, than the
ones on the debut album.
This
album has everything a fan of modern art rock is looking for - from dark
atmospheric waves of sounds, to psychedelic guitar soli, groovy rhythms,
wonderful keyboard fills and a vocalist, who sings with a lot of
emotion... what more can you ask for...?
