awesome, it's a been a few years

I don't blame them given what's happened to them, but the band has claimed Wasteland as a cathartic album for said tragic circumstances. I am very hopeful that this album will be counted among their best, even if the chance remains very thin that it can equal the perfection of ADHD.
 
Here's some more details....

RIVERSIDE REVEAL WASTELAND ALBUM ARTWORK, FIRST RELEASE DETAILS

"...Polish rock masters Riverside have announced that their upcoming seventh studio album Wasteland will be released via their longtime label partner InsideOutMusic on September 28th.

Riverside’s Mariusz Duda checked in with the following comment about the album’s overall concept: “I'd been thinking about exploring "post-apocalyptic" regions for a long time. I read books, watched films, played video games, all connected by stories about an attempt to survive in a world that had just ended. But writing such a story myself didn't make much sense until now. Riverside are starting a new chapter and after our recent experiences, a story like that has gained more meaning. Wasteland is mostly about what's happening in the world these days but it also makes a reference to the tragedy that befell the band in 2016. Musically, we've returned to darker sounds but we have also turned a new page and recorded the album in a different style. It's still Riverside but expressed in a much deeper and more mature way. Most artists say the same thing while promoting their new releases: that they have just created their best work to date. I won't say that because everything we have done so far has been consistently very good and unique. But I will say that we have never had such an incredible emotional load on any of our previous releases, and it's not likely that we will ever make such a charged album again. "Wasteland" is an epic, multidimensional, poetic and very deep album. Perhaps of the once in a lifetime kind...."

The surround edition of the album with a bonus Acoustic Session EP will be out very soon, and the final concerts of the Wasteland Tour have already been announced for March and April 2020. But let’s start with the new clip to our title composition, created by our friends from Sightsphere.

These guys are always good but for me their more "electronic" sound is where I tend to like them best. Regardless - great band that always deliver.
