Riverside Shrine Of New Generation Slaves, ltd.ed.

2012, Poland's Progressive Rock shooting stars Riverside have undergone a highly interesting and purposeful progression throughout their musical career so far and should now manage to reach a next splendid height in terms of dynamic songwriting with their newest, highly anticipated fifth studio album release SHRINE OF NEW GENERATION SLAVES. It offers more than fifty minutes of high-class Riverside music divided into eight songs, which don't just clearly reflect a further developed, modern take on the band's charismatic trademark elements, but also effectively adds further vibes of the Classic Rock segment as well as jazzy art-rock bits to the ever-challenging mix that Riverside has always stood for, maybe just less standard metallic and also less complex, without meaning less progressive. Conceptually, it is an album as intense and introspective as ever before with Riverside, but there is also a strong and very obscure social component to things this time around.
