Riverside was founded in 2001 by guitarist Piotr Grudzinski, drummer Piotr Kozieradzki and Mariusz Duda. Immediately after the recording of their debut album Out Of Myself, keyboardist Michal Lapaj joined the band and completed the current line-up, which impressed fans and media alike with the musicians' great technical skills. "It's an album about people who know that they have to speed up, otherwise they'll be left behind," Duda sums up the songs and adds: "About people who sometimes, despite themselves, will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. It's an album about chaos, constant racing, uncertainty, stress and trying to survive." This permanent inner turmoil, the constant search for the newest thing, is reflected in the band's complex music. The five songs consciously maintain a high energy level, whether through a punchy groove, a thunderous bass line, cutting keyboard passages or haunting vocals. Anno Domini High Definition is a vibrant hybrid of a number of different stylistic devices. Duda: "There's more rock stuff on the record now. You could say the new album has more balls than anything we've done before. But I think we've kept all the nice melodies and traits that are characteristic of our music. It's very energetic. There are longer, more complex songs, but with more energy, power and lightness. We haven't had so much fun composing and recording in a long time, and I hope that this atmosphere will infect the listeners as well." Anno Domini High Definition represents the next step in the evolution of Riverside's hugely distinctive sound, documenting a total focus on the here and now. "We don't want to be one of those progressive bands that lives in the past," Duda emphasizes. "We feel we have something new to say, and a lot of moments on this album have a fresh approach to some things. First of all, our main influence - our lives, or more accurately, the speed of our lives. That's why we had to cut an extremely dynamic and quite short record that fits the times we live in." Experts describe Riverside as a stylish mix of Tool, Porcupine Tree and Dream Theater, but Duda believes that other influences prevail on Anno Domini High Definition: "We wanted to reflect the energy of the early 70s and combine it with a modern sound. I think there's more of a Rush , Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple sound now. But in the end this record sounds like Riverside". (insideoutmusic. com)
