group Suffocate For Fuck Sake.
Nearly three years following the release of their debut album “Autumnalia" and nearly two following their split
“RIAHPSTVRT” with Postvorta, RIAH now return with a new line-up and a refreshed spirit.
The imposed quarantine that hindered everyone's life was surely a peculiar period, but it also gave the band
some new ideas, inspirations and feelings to compose their second album “A Man And His Nature”.
The distance gave the band the opportunity to work and produce their songs in a more focused way, as well
as it gave them the opportunity to collaborate with people from various locations. As a result, the album hosts
a myriad of contributions, Hernan Paulitti from Buenos Aires, Argentina on violin, the jazz master William
Suvanne from Helsinki, Finland on saxophone, Francesco "Fresco" Cellini from Ravenna, Italy on cello,
Mohammed Ashfarf also from Ravenna on keyboards and the incredible voice of Daniel Loefgren from
Sweden's Suffocate For Fuck Sake, with which the group is planning to maintain the collaboration on future
releases.
This album was brought to life during the strange period of quarantine, with all that comes with it: isolation,
doubt, nostalgia, fear and anger and the producer Riccardo Pasini managed to give to RIAH’s work the
sound perfection that is required. For the mastering, like on their previous efforts, Magnus Lindberg use his
skill for give brightness and definition to the album.
The album immediately unfolds the changes in the band’s music, revealing a more introspective sound, that
incorporates a gentle acoustic guitar, the warm sound of the cello and a tender voice that slowly engulfs
listeners and create a sonic landscape replete with nostalgia and gloominess, just before waves of colossal
and monolithic guitars comes clashing in to provide opposite sentiments of anger and turmoil. The chilling
vibes emanated from the keyboards blend perfectly with the warmth of the saxophone, so uncommon in the
post-metal genre, that it gives the songs a mood that is indescribably sinister and combines well with the
grinding framework of drums and bass.
The gentle voice of Daniel Loefgren really solidifies the impact of every nuance they make instrumentally and
is one of the highlights of the album.
A Man And His Nature sees RIAH walking into uncharted territory, a path is full of intense and conflicting
emotions that will not disappoint older fans of the band nor new ones.
