The River

For the past 6 years The River have been forging their own brand of Doom Metal incorporating seriously heavy riffing, enchanting female vocals & lashings of melody culminating in 2003's 'Oneiric Dirges in Mono'. The band's 3rd demo, it sold 600 copies worldwide including 2 releases via Polish label Foreshadow Productions & enabled the band to play live throughout 2004 suppoting the likes ot The Lord Weird Slough Feg, Reverend Bizarre, Brocas Helm & Esoteric amongst others. Since then the band has recorded their new demo 'Different Ways to be Haunted'. A much more professional recording in terms of songwriting, productions & overall presentation, the band have already played live in support of the new material at the prestigious Doom Shall Rise festival in Germany & sold 200 copies since recording in March. More live dates are scheduled for the rest of the year & new songs have already been completed for the next release.
