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.

  Words from Anselm Anderson Nu-Metal is making a return with a bang. The latest band to embrace the genre that mixed down-tuned guitars with mixing desks and aggressive vocals about personal struggles and social anxieties is Virginia-based sextet,  Saint Diablo. Today, the Latin Americans release their latest four-track EP 'The Reckoning' via Eclipse Records.  The band consists of lead vocalist Tito Quinones, guitarist Justin Adams, bassist Zach San Pietro, drummer Anthony San Pietro, and percussionist Awesome Ray Ray. It has released two full releases to date, including 2015's critically -acclaimed Devils, Horns and Halos. The Reckoning  is no exception as the band delivers four sizzling tracks of apoplectic rage, thunderous riffs and catchy choruses to set themselves loose on the metal world. Upon first listening, I felt the band reminded me of the 2000's Latin Nu-metal group Il Nino. Ironically, this EP  was mixed, mastered, and recorded by the band's prod...

  Words by Anselm Anderson Metalcore act Paradis released their hotly-anticipated self-titled debut EP last week, The quintet combines the raw ferocity of the genre's vocals with the dark atmospheric music of black metal, which is a unique approach to the revived genre, once maligned by metalheads all over. Formed in London, England, the multicultural group consists of vocalist Johnny Weaver, guitarists Pedro Silva and Federico Di Biase, bassist Mark Kuchmenko and drummer Flynn Everard. The band commented on how this was a team effort, reflected over five intense, headbanging tracks. Photo Credit: Michael Williams One notable aspect of this EP is the diversity of the tracks. Paradis delivers powerful and ominous metal with impactful orchestration and bone-shaking breakdowns. The band's creative ideas allow the music to take on a life of its own, showcasing a contrast between aggressive, angst-filled vocals paired with heavy riffs, and melodic vocals set against gothic underton...
