With the inclusion of twin guitars, powerful vocals, and an unshakeable rhythm section, the album stands poised to offer an immersive musical journey.
As Doomed & Stoned aptly puts it: "The Riven's music is a testament to timeless Classic Rock."
Today, The Riven stands strong, comprising vocalist Totta Ekebergh, guitarists Arnau Diaz and Joakim Sandegård, bassist Max Ternebring, and drummer Jussi Kalla. Their journey commenced in 2016, finding its roots in West London, where they also recorded their EP 'Blackbird' at Buffalo Studios.
