Riverside to release “Reality Dream” DVD

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

Metal Mind Productions proudly presents 
the first DVD of one of the most important progressive rock bands - 
Riverside!

Riverside, the band hailing from Warsaw, 
Poland, can best be described as a stylistic blend of atmospheric rock and metal 
elements, resulting in a sound similar to that of Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, 
Opeth, Dream Theater, and Tool, while still maintaining an identity of their 
own. Since the release of their debut album, Riverside have built a solid fan 
base in progressive rock genre.

In May 2008, the band went on a 
mini-tour across Poland. The most significant date of the tour was May, 17th 
when Riverside played a special, over-two-hour gig in Toya Studios in Łódź. The 
show was treated as a summary of the “Reality Dream Trilogy” (Out Of Myself – 
2003, Second Life Syndrome – 2005 & Rapid Eye Movement - 2007). Apart from 
the great performance of the most important songs from the band’s three big 
releases, the band also prepared the best lighting in their live history with a 
few screens that showed some special visuals. The concert in Łódź was recorded 
and, so far, it was available in a limited audio only edition during their 
“Reality Dream Tour” in December 2008. 

Today, the fans of Riverside have a chance to see that special 
performance in its full glory as it is released as a double 
DVD. Apart from the complete performance in Łódź, “Reality 
Dream” DVD also includes a selection of live performances in various 
places around the world, including Canada, Germany and Holland, plus a 
documentary “Behind the Curtain – A film by John Vis” and a photo gallery. The 
graphic design was, once again, handled by Travis Smith (painter for such bands 
as Opeth, Anathema, and Devin Townsend).

"Reality Dream" 2 DVD will be available on 
7th December 2009 in Europe (except for France - 11th 
January 2010) and 23rd February 2010 in USA (via 
MVD).

---------

Riverside was founded by guitarist 
Piotr Grudziński, drummer Piotr Kozieradzki 
and vocalist/bassist Mariusz Duda in 2001. Soon after the 
recording of their debut album, “Out Of Myself”, keyboardist Michał 
Łapaj joined the band, completing the line-up which has impressed fans 
and media alike with their great technical skills. The band’s most recent fourth 
full-length album “Anno Domini High Definition” was released in mid 2009. The 
album sees Riverside take another step in the evolution of their extremely 
significant sound, showing a total focus on the here and now. “We don’t want 
to be one of those living-in-the-past prog bands,” Mariusz Duda 
(vocal/bass) points out. “We feel that we have something new to say, and 
lots of moments on this album feature a fresh approach to some things. First of 
all, our main influence – our lives, or to be more precise, the speed of our 
lives. That’s why we had to cut an extremely dynamic and pretty short record, 
which suits the times we live in.” Experts have called Riverside a 
stylistic mix of Tool, Porcupine Tree and Dream Theater, but Mariusz Duda 
reckons that other influences are more dominant on "Anno Domini High 
Definition": “We wanted to reflect the energy of the early 70's and combine it 
with modern sounds. Now I think there is more of a Rush, Led Zeppelin and Deep 
Purple sound. But at the end of the day, this record ultimately sounds like 
Riverside.” 

Line-up: Piotr Grudziński 
(Guitar), Mariusz Duda (Vocals, Bass), Piotr Kozieradzki (Drums), Michał Łapaj 
(Keyboards).
