RIVERSIDE single/video launched for “Landmine Blast“

RIVERSIDE’s vocalist/bass-player and main songwriter Mariusz Duda comments about the upcoming live release as follows:
„I would argue that RIVERSIDE always come across better in concerts than on studio albums. In fact, it’s only during live performances that our songs gain their full potential. What’s more, some song arrangements are much better in live versions than in studio recordings. There are a lot of nuances, quirks, and, above all, explanations of what RIVERSIDE’s music is all about. That’s why „Live ID.“ is not just an ordinary live album. It’s an album that reveals the band’s true identity.“

„Live ID.“ not only contains thrilling performances of songs off RIVERSIDE’s latest and much acclaimed 2023 studio album „ID.Entity“, but also re-visits catalogue favourites in a compelling way, once more stressing the band’s unique stance and relevance within the current progressive music scene.
