Heavy sounds. Moshpits. Stagedives. Highfives. Stories from the heart and about their beautiful city. German outfit Rivers Collide is here with their debut album, “Salt & Saviour,” out now, and we are highlighting their track, ‘Annihilation of Self.’
I like how the drums lead the song in the intro; when it comes to metal, it is so important to mimic the beats and progressions from the guitars / bass and the drums did an excellent job with that. I am a fan of the quick, electronica/synth riffing around 0:55 as it gives me a big Twilight Zone theme song vibe. The high-energy, consistent tempo with the instrumentals throughout keep my attention and is exactly what my body looks for. I personally prefer a higher-energy, fast paced song and this one does it for me.
Rivers Collide – established 2019. “We want to express who we are and where we are from” says frontman Flo when somebody asks about what brought Rivers Collide together. You will never get a straight answer from neither the band nor the fans when it come to the question which genre defines their music the most. Drawn together from different past projects like Melo Death, Progressive, Hardcore, the quintet found each other in their love of their music and their love to their hometown – the most beautiful in the world – Passau, Bavaria Germany.
