Description

Throughout over 20 years, this Warsaw-based Polish band have released seven studio, a few live, and two mini albums. Their music, inspired by Pink Floyd, Rush and Porcupine Tree, has evolved towards their own characteristic, recognisable style. Riverside's eighth studio album called "ID.Entity" will be out on January 20th, 2023. "Before we started working on the new album, I asked myself a few questions," says Mariusz Duda, the leader of the band. "Some personal ones, some about the current times, but most of all, questions about the band, for instance, 'What is our strongest suit?' There were two answers: 'Melodies and… live performances!' 'What is the most comfortable setting for Riverside?' Again, the answer was pretty obvious: 'the stage'. Ironically, we haven't really spoilt our fans with live releases, so I thought perhaps it was time to record a studio album which would musically reflect the character and dynamic of our live shows. Especially that we really wanted to say goodbye to the decade of sadness and melancholy, which dominated our recent releases" What will Riverside's most live studio album sound like... live? Let's get ready for double impact in February!

Comprised of some of Chicago’s most accomplished musicians, The Cyberiam have come together to create their own unique brand of hard/heavy progressive rock. The Aaron Clift Experiment has described their music as the “heavy, atmospheric prog of bands like Porcupine Tree and Tool with a good melodic and pop sensibility”. Their self-titled debut album and stunning live shows have them rapidly building a rabid following.

The Cyberiam began in 2016 when Keith Semple was looking to form a progressive rock band. At a Dream theater show at the Chicago Theater, he struck up a conversation with keyboardist, Frank Lucas. Semple had crossed paths with Lateralus drummer Tommy Murray on numerous occasions. The trio had already begun writing what would become the band first album when Murray invited Full Moon Fire band mate, Brian Kovacs, to lend his beefy bass skills. With the band fully formed, writing and recording was completed. The Cyberiam's self-titled debut was released in February 2018. That year was filled with producing videos, performing live shows including a set at Progtoberfest IV, and receiving a host of accolades.
