"River Of Diamonds", the sixth solo album by the queen of Scandinavian Gothic Metal, continues the path set by the internationally acclaimed EP "Have Courage Dear Heart" (2021).
All tracks on the new album were composed by Liv's longtime friend Tommy Olsson (Theatre of Tragedy, Long Night) at his Black Rider Records studio in Tau, near Liv Kristine's birthplace of Stavanger in Norway.
Careful attention to the compositions that 2021 and 2022 repeatedly from Tommy's sister Carmen Elise Espenæs (Savn, Midnattsol) appears as an exceptional duet partner on the faster track "Love Me High". Also, Liv's husband Michael Espenæs is the voice behind the highly emotional male vocals on Jon Lord's masterpiece "Pictured Within." Another cover, "True Colours" (Cindy Lauper), was re-recorded by Ecor (Rocco Cogliati) with keyboards and piano.
"Each song follows a path of strong authenticity and unbound creativity, which is my innermost and first criterion since "Theatre Of Tragedy" (1995), "Deus Ex Machina" (1998) and "Lovelorn" (Leaves' Eyes). The lifeline that flows through all twelve compositions reveals a heart-based personal path, a sense of deeper truth, and a soul vision of pure happiness consciousness - an eternal river of diamonds." (Liv Kristine)
