Mariusz Duda is currently composing the material for the new Lunatic Soul album. This time prepare for a "white album."

"Since the beginning I've seen the two first albums as a diptych. The white and the black piece. No album titles, just the name and the logo. The black album is a passage to the side of death, and the white one is a passage to the side of life. I see the cover as a negative reflection of the debut album. Right now I'm in the middle of composing new songs, so the winter scenery outside is very welcome."

The "white" Lunatic Soul or "Lunatic Soul II" is going to be - assures Duda - an album "full of mysterious atmosphere, weird sounds and sophisticated instruments. An attempt at agreeing between good songs and open form and experiment." He adds, "now more than ever I'd like to use my voice in a non-standard way."

The names of the other musicians and guests working on this project will be known soon. The second Lunatic Soul album will be again recorded at the Serakos studios in Warsaw. It will already begin in February/March this year. The expected release date is autumn 2010.

Labels: KScope (Worldwide) and Mystic Production (Poland).

2009 was one of the most intensive (if not THE most intensive) years in the band's history. First of all, the new album "Anno Domini High Definition" that appeared for the first time on foreign sales charts, in the Netherlands and Germany among others, and in Poland reached the first place of OLIS sales chart, after what it became gold. Second, the concerts promoting the album, gathering the biggest audience in the band's history, both in Poland and abroad (e.g. only at 6 ADHD concerts in the Nethelands and Belgium 3000 people came to see us live. On the whole tour - over 20 000). Third, "Reality Dream DVD," recorded in May 2008, summarising the Reality Dream trilogy, finally with the image.

All of the above happened thanks to joint commitment of people supporting us, our friends and fans, whom we would like to thank cordially and hyperactively. You are great and it is thanks to you that we are able to move forward constantly. However, this year we are planning to slow down a bit in order to charge our batteries. But not for so long as to let you forget about us :)

We will let you know about our nearest-future plans very soon.

Take care,

“Once in the middle of the crowd... I stopped...”

...but only for a while. Because the European Anno Domini High Definition tour starts on October 26th. The Polish tour is unfortunately over now. We would like to sincerely thank all the
people who risked it and showed up in crowds at the concerts promoting our new album. After the first 20 shows it appeared that the Polish tour ended with the greatest turnout success so far in the history of Riverside's tours - almost 9000 hyperactive fans saw us live. It wouldn't have been possible if not for the commitment of all our tech-crew thanks to which the concerts proceeded smoothly and on the highest level. So again, thanks to the crew. Also, big thanks to the guys from Disperse and Division by Zero for co-operation, and again thanks to all of those who came, listened to, saw, and at least partially switched over from black to red. See you next time and keep your fingers crossed for us playing the European tour.

Speaking about the European tour, we have some news for all those who are willing to attend it:

1. The merchandise stand will be selling the limited edition of Anno Domini High Definition on 180g red vinyl together with a poster and a badge. So all of you vinyl-lovers - get ready!

2. Please remember about the additional concert in France. It will take place in Riom (more or less 10 minutes by car from Clermont Ferrand) at La Puce à L’oreille club.

3. After certain changes the final deal is that in Rome (Nov 9) we will play at CROSSROADS LIVE CLUB, and in St. Petersburg (Dec 12) at ZAL OZHIDANIYA - so don't tell us later that we didn't say anything :)

4. The concerts in the Dutch towns Uden and Zwolle are already sold out. Sorry!

That's all folks! See you!

The next Riverside on vinyl, after the live LP "Reality Dream", is the band's debut album "Out of Myself", a limited edition of 1000 copies,
released by Primal Vinyl Records. The release date is 16th March, 2009.

Monday, 26 January 2009

Riverside is working on the new album - "Anno Domini High Definition". The band has already begun recording, this time in Studio X in Olsztyn. We keep you up-to-date with the process of creation on a special "record" website - www.annodominihighdefinition.com.



Mariusz Duda: "We have gone from Warsaw, we have changed the studio and the producer. We care deeply about creating a coherent record and that is why most probably there are only going to be 5 songs on it. The material will be energetic, multifarious, and - I hope so - very good for live performances. It will be a story about liquid modernity, life in a constant hurry, stress and anxiety about the future. A picture of our times in 1920 x 1080 definition."

The expected release date is June 2009.

More details soon...

Tuesday, 29 July 2008

Mariusz Duda, Riverside's singer and bass player, together with fellow musicians, has just finished working on his solo album, "Lunatic Soul." The release date has been set for October 13th, 2008. The album will be released on the British label - Kscope, known for having released the earlier albums of Porcupine Tree, and presently producing Anathema and No-Man. In Poland on Mystic Production. On the Lunatic Soul album you will find 10 atmospheric tracks making up 47 minutes of music.

Mariusz Duda: "I touched upon a vital subject on this record, namely... death. What came out of this was a conceptual journey to the world beyond full of reflections on transience and all we may want to leave after we pass (if we want to leave anything). In the sphere of music, it will be intriguing. I would call those sounds oriental-alternative, not really having anything in common with progressive rock. An interesting fact is that there is no electric guitar here at all."

You can listen to some fragments of Lunatic Soul music at: www.myspace.com/lunaticsoulband
