» Band » History
The band was formed in early 2003 in southern russian resort Anapa, and is now one of the leading metal bands of the region. The band was founded by Anastasia. From the very beginning the musicians searched for their own musical ways, combining different styles and playing techniques. The band's actual style can be described as varying from melodic death and modern metal to progressive metal with art rock touch. The music is built on Anastacia’s screaming supported by heavy riffing, melodic solos and atmospheric keyboards.Soon after its birth the band started eager concerting activity and played gigs virtually in every big city in the South Russia. So far, "Riverain" has done about a hundred live gigs, either accompanied by other bands, or on their own.
So far the band has released several demo recordings, self-released EP "The Dream" (2009) and the debut full-length "Overstepping the Verge" (2010, Irond). It took about 2 years to finish working on the album and make every musical detail sound as it should. The album consists of 11 tracks.
