Self releasing their debut EP “Black
Bird” in April 2017 Stockholm based heavy rock band The Riven will undoubtedly take 2019 by storm with the
release of their debut full length set for release via The Sign Records. Though
little is known about their forthcoming album, the band have already started
the promotion of the record with the recent release of the track “Fortune Teller” and today what better
way to deliver some Christmas cheer than
to debut another kick ass track from arguably one of the brightest new talents
in heavy rock. Check out “Shadow Man”
below and read what vocalist Totta has to say about the track
“There
he goes into the unknown… The lyrics came to mind as I travelled on a train in
Sardinia one warm and hazy afternoon. Representing your inner voice and angst,
but also refers to your shadow that follows you wherever you go as long as you
let the light shine on you. There was this one time when bass player Max
decided to record a phrase on his phone. When I heard this ”oh shadow man” I
knew this was the melody and name for the song I’d started writing some time
before. The video for "Shadow Man" shows The Riven playing the song live. Roberto,
who we worked with, captured us and the energy of a live performance. In Shadow
man we wanted to introduce the band to everyone who hasn’t yet put a face on
The Riven. Have a look, grab a beer and remember that Shadow man stands and
falls with you.” From Totta, The Riven
