Words By Anselm Anderson

Brazilian hard rockers River Rise Band released their much-anticipated debut album The Right Path on March 19th.

The duo, hailing from Curitiba, Brazil, consists of vocalist Juliana Von Muhlen and guitarist Marcio Arend. The 10-track LP was composed, recorded, and produced in the couple's home studio last summer. They combine soulful melodies, dynamic riffs, and a little touch of the blues for this release.

Opener "Unreal" kicks things off with some funky charm to get those juices flowing. The groove-orientated guitar lines accompany the sweet vocals that intertwine to create a spark for the remainder of this debut. Click below to watch the video for "Unreal"



 Next up is "Unremembered" with an unforgettable performance from Von Muhlen and Arend. The lead vocals transition with ease alongside surging guitar breaks and phrases that express several emotions at once.

This is something often revisited throughout The Right Path, and that is the chemistry and skills the band communicates to the listener. A penchant for writing memorable songs, alongside moving ones with relatable lyrics.

The self-titled track, "The Right Path" is a nostalgic throwback to classic rock of the 70s. The engaging vocals capture the spirit as the vocalist mulls over their life choices. This is matched by the harmonic solo and rhythmic breakdowns.

" Only You and Me" is a blues number steeped in love and tentativeness. "Green Sea" is a wistful ballad, whilst the album finishes with the expansive "Give It a Try". The vocals transcend the bubbly personality over a jagged riff. 

Overall, River Rise Band put themselves on the right path with this joyful collection of tunes, written straight from the heart.
