Forgotten Land: Riverside's 10th anniversary


Forgotten Land (edit) introduced Riverside's new EP Memories In My Head. This material constitutes a reflection upon the band's musical career to this day. As bassist and vocalist Mariusz Duda explains, "[w]e have consciously gone back to our beginnings to create a certain kind of a circle". The EP has already been available during the band's 10th anniversary tour, while an official release is to follow

Riverside are significant musicians because their impressive technical quality is not an end in itself but a particularly effective means of expression. It is on this basis that they develop atmospheric and emotionally intense sonic environments: their melancholic melodies and often dark lyrics are harmoniously fused with their dynamic musical output. In terms of visual aesthetics, their album covers are designed by Travis Smith.
