Riverside: Announce new studio album title and release date; First shows confirmed for 2013!
Poland's Progressive Rock shooting starts RIVERSIDE have wrapped up the studio recording work for their newest, fifth studio album and have announced it to be titled "Shrine Of New Generation Slaves". The much anticipated, five-word-titled release will come out on January 21st, 2103 via their longtime label partner InsideOutMusic.
"Shrine Of New Generation Slaves" was recorded at Serakos studio in Warsaw, Poland (where "Reality Dream Trilogy" was also tracked) with Magda Srzednicka and Robert Srzednicki and will offer more than 50 minutes
of high-class RIVERSIDE music, divided into 8 completely new pieces,
including songs such as "Celebrity Touch", "Escalator Shrine" and "Coda".
RIVERSIDE have checked in to comment as follows:
"In 2012 we've been focusing on the work on the new album, and trying to prove, mostly to ourselves, that we can still surprise with something, and what's most important - create an album that would become our showpiece, music-wise and lyrics-wise," says Mariusz Duda, the band's leader. "The title might sound a bit intricate, but the acronym will definitely explain what we did with our music this time."
