A heads-up for all music lovers that Polish prog-rock group Riverside have now released their album Rapid Eye Movement stateside (also available over the pond). If you’ve heard their previous work you won’t be disappointed in the new material, and I’m pretty sure I even detected some TOOL influence in the new recording (if you haven’t heard their previous work, you’re missing out). Combining intricate 10-minute rock/metal journeys with great melodies and harmonies, it’s all good. Support great music, and treat your ears, by buying a copy. Better, wait around for a couple of weeks, and buy it with our anthology (and get some free shipping), and use it as the soundtrack to your reading…
Update: I should have mentioned, the band’s MySpace page has 5 sample tracks to listen to, though only one from the new album (02 Panic Room). And strong as those tracks are, I probably would have picked 5 different tracks if I was going to showcase their best material…
