The River
United Kingdom
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 21 ต.ค. 2019
It started in 1999. The dust in the room began to dance and bask in the amber glow of the valves as the amps began to rumble into life. Adding the battery controlled the monolith whilst the soothing tones of the voice healed the wounds from the bludgeon. Light from the cracks in the boarded windows cast shadows across the walls, the haze only adding to the core of the sound as the aural mantra continued. The constant tapping of the rain outside only added to the rhythm and flow; not a downpour, but a constant nonetheless, mixing with the evening sun to cast a kaleidoscope of colours sprawling through the air. The clouds that burned in the fading, violet sky fell perfectly in step…
Fusing texture & light with a heavy set foundation, The River have been honing their craft for over two decades. Incorporating space, subtlety & melody, the band mixes fragile vocals with downtempo rhythms & a dense ebb & flow of guitar to create a bittersweet & wistful sound.

A short, soothing sonic adventure! Keep grinding! Greater recognition for you as a band must follow. ❤ In the end all the fandom doesn't really matter cause art is the expression of our soul...it's our drug & our escape. 🔥 We create it & enjoy in it for ourselves...
Gorgeous artwork
Amazing… nuff said!
Beautiful work.
Beautiful performance!
That was gorgeous, well done you two ☺
wow the video is so clear! love this live performance and love you guys so much! beautiful!
Wow! Love it!
Beautiful xxx
Filling my hollow self, thank you, It's lovely
Brilliant love this so much xxx
👍🏼😎🎵♥️
I am not a big believer in Christmas, but i must say that this is a nice cover. Very ethereal, mellow and calming. It could be played on repeat as a bedtime lullaby for all those anxious small children who can't wait for a Christmas morning (gift time) to arrive. 😀
Just heard this on PickMyPostcode. Don't ever listen to anything fully on there but this was so atmospheric. You must surely be doing soundtracks? Great stuff.
*promosm* ❤️
Great song! Jenny is such a fantastic addition to the band. Any plans to release the Frailties 2020 song on your Bandcamp page at some point?
Afraid not. We recorded that song exclusively for the Allies Vol. 3 compilation. Part of the agreement for the recording , & this was at our insistence, was that the song would only ever be available there.
Totally understandable, but unfortunately the compilation is no longer up on Bandcamp. So I guess there’s no way to get the song at all anymore? That’s why I was wondering about a re-release.
love it 🤘
Slowcore folk or Folkore 🧐🤘 nice sound 👏👏👏
just amazing! you guys are amazing 🙏
Beautiful song!
Gorgeous track. 🎶 I saw it in my recommendations and wisely clicked.

loved it cant wait for the album release!!!
Lovely stuff, very chilled. Subbed!
It's not Doom, but I'm really digging this new sound on the two new videos. The last thing I heard was Broken Window years ago! Great stuff! Thanks.
You lot are taking the piss now. That was absolutely beautiful. The ending really sounds like something from Admiral Fell Promises by Sun Kil Moon.
Wicked tune!!
Incredible. Can’t wait to hear the full album.
Well, that was a bit special! I have no idea why you guys are not much better known.
Used to play with Bands like Warning, Pagan Altar, Reverend Bizarre and more back in the mid 2000's, fun times!
It’s a shit business, isn’t it? You should be looking forwards, not twenty years back. With all due respect to those bands, playing with dyed in the wool metal acts probably did you no favours in the long run, however good they might have been. You deserve to be playing on much more varied bills. Hopefully, that will all come good with the next release.
@Randall Flag 100%, we definitely are looking to play more varied bills these days. I only mentioned those times as it was when we had a higher profile. We still would play those kinds of gigs, but also the more indie, alternative, folk side of things as well what ever comes our way. I think the music will travel.
that was absolutely gorgeous - what was the symbol made from the rope?
It’s a design our bassist, Stephen, came up with years ago; it’s called a Rivergram. It doesn’t have any real symbolic meaning to it, beyond looking nice & being exclusively ours.
@@riverbanduk i find it really alluring. might have a new tattoo idea.
@@kilgorin10 Our drummer, Jason, already has it tattooed on his upper arm!
@@thelstanegn5348 i've found a lot of solace in the river's music over the years. perhaps a tattoo would be a fitting tribute. i'll let @riverbanduk know if i get it done!
That would be very cool, Thanks!
Very good song/ best for my `dreamgaze` youtube compilation
I remember thinking we would never get more of your music after In Situ. I'm so glad to be getting to experience this era of The River with Jenny and the more atmospheric, heartfelt approach that your music has taken.
This song is awesome, so beautiful and serene, very excited for the album!
Amazing song! Beautiful atmosphere!!
It's really bloody nice!!
Very nice!
Just beautiful! well done once again.
Just now discovered this band, and what an amazing group this is. I definitely would love to see them continue to make material. Supremonitional and just feels like what the soul has wanted when it comes to groove and sludge metal.
Absorbing great production
Winter Mogwai Magic 👍🏻
Beautiful! I don't know the original but this is absolutely beautiful
Somehow I didn't know about this video until today. Great video, really fits the song. Also fitting for me as I listened to this album a lot upon release while walking around my city.
Cool video! I know what you mean.
Great song, I miss Vicky but the new Vocalist Jenny is amazing as well..long live The River!
AMAZING!!!
Great video! I'm guessing that the figure in black is our depression, maybe??
Thank you! It’s open to interpretation but the important thing is you found something tangible to ruminate on.
офигеть, почему то думал что the river умрели вместе с drawing down the sun
