Rioghan comments:
"Toxic was such an entertaining song to work with, as we got to figure out a completely different approach to this iconic pop song (which has, not gonna lie, spinned a few times in my record player too back then). Me and Teemu wanted to bring a little rougher tones to this one, and in our opinion the song bended beautifully to a whole new prog metal vibe."
Another excellent news is that Rioghan is now ready hit the stages and the first gig shall take place at On The Rocks, Helsinki on November 15th.
