Mystery e Riverside...

Due gruppi straordinari del neo-prog internazionale... 

... uno dalla Polonia e uno dal Canada....

... accomunati in un post.



Parliamo di Riverside e dei Mystery.


Dei primi proponiamo l'album Wasteland, mentre dei canadesi l'album (anche questo in versione "full") The World Is A Game.



Riverside - Wasteland  (2018)


This progressive rock band from Warsaw, Poland, was founded in 2001 by friends Mariusz Duda, Piotr Grudziński (dead 2016, R.I.P.), Piotr Kozieradzki and Jacek Melnicki, who shared a love for progressive rock and heavy metal, although Duda, the main lyricist and composer of the band, was originally a fan of electronic, ambient and experimental music, like Radiohead, Massive Attack, Dead Can Dance, Tangerine Dream, and Peter Gabriel.
Riverside can be described as a blend of atmospheric rock and metal elements, resulting in a sound similar to that of Porcupine Tree, The Mars Volta, Opeth, and Dream Theater, while still maintaining an identity of their own.



Mystery - The World Is A Game, 2012



Mystery from Canada was formed in 1986 by multi-instrumentalist Michel St-Père. The band released their eponymous debut EP in 1992 with Raymond and Gary Savoie on lead vocals, followed by their first album Theatre of the Mind in 1996 and then Destiny? in 1998, both with Gary on lead vocals. In 2007 the band released their third album Beneath the Veil of Winter's Face with singer Benoît David who would record two more studio albums with the band: One Among the Living in 2010 and The World is a Game in 2012. In 2015 the band released their sixth album and first with current singer Jean Pageau Delusion Rain, and released their seventh album Lies and Butterflies on July 14, 2018.
Mystery's current line-up is Michel St-Père, bassist François Fournier, guitarist Sylvain Moineau, drummer Jean-Sébastien Goyette, singer Jean Pageau and keyboardist Antoine Michaud.
