Riverside

Riverside is a progressive rock band from Warsaw, Poland. It was founded in 2001 by friends Mariusz Duda, Piotr Grudziński, Piotr Kozieradzki and Jacek Melnicki, who shared a love for progressive rock and heavy metal. Riverside can be described as a stylistic blend of atmospheric rock and metal elements, resulting in a sound similar to that of Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, Opeth, Dream Theater, and Tool, while still maintaining an identity of their own

Out of Myself is the first full length album by progressive rock/metal band Riverside released on September 21, 2004. At the time of its release, Out of Myself was hailed as the best debut album from a progressive rock band in recent memory. It was first released under the The Laser's Edge music label and has since garnered much praise amongst progressive rock fans. This album features some of the quieter moments in the Riverside discography on songs such as I Believe and In Two Minds as well as some of the most interesting soundscapes they have done which are present in songs like The Same River and The Curtain Falls. As well as being the first full length album by the group it is also the first album in the Reality Dream Trilogy which includes Out of Myself, Second Life Syndrome and Rapid Eye Movement.

Riverside - Second Life Syndrome (2005)

Second Life Syndrome is the second full length album by progressive rock band Riverside, released on November 8, 2005. This second release garnered quite as much praise as Out of Myself and was released on the large prog rock Label InsideOut. Second Life Syndrome has a noticeably more raw and heavy feel than Out of Myself which in general was much more laid back and mellow. The title track has been said in one radio interview to be one of the best songs to sum up Riverside's sound. The song contains three parts: A slightly aggressive first part, a mellow and quiet second part, and an instrumental third part. This album is the second part of the Reality Dream trilogy which would explain the first and last track's titles; Second Life Syndrome comes after Out of Myself but before Rapid Eye Movement. The Opening in "Second Life Syndrome" takes reference from Shine on you Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd As of March 2009, the album is #43 on Metal Storm's Top 100 albums of all time list. Dream Theater's Mike Portnoy named Second Life Syndrome one of his favourite albums of 2005.
