Rioghan's new Covers III EP out now - footage from the first gig also available as a form of music video!
Finnish Rioghan is back after their successful debut album Different Kinds Of Losses which was released one year ago via Inverse Records.
The band is currently preparing their second studio album but before that they released a 3-track EP titled Covers III. The chosen cover tracks are Toxic (Britney Spears), Sweet Death (King Dude) and Lethean (Katatonia).
COVERS III is now available on streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/rioghan-covers-iii
Rioghan comments Covers III:
"Covers III was once again brought to light as a snack while working on the new album, as our hearts still yearn to redefine our favorite songs to new arrangements. In this collection, especially the lyrics are to my liking, and this time we tried to tell their stories musically a bit differently, thinking that’d give space to find a different layer in the lyrics too. On this playlist we have pop twisted into prog metal, neofolk turned into a fierce goth metal duet, and ever-lovable Katatonia piece as an inspiringly melancholic acoustic version."
The band also released a new music video from their hit track Reflection. The footage is taken from the band's first gig held at On The Rocks back in November. WATCH: https://youtu.be/iDtzMRI4UZE
