ETHEREAL RIFFIAN Hope Their Third Album will Turn them into ‘Legends’ [Exclusive Album Premiere]
It’s been five years since we heard new material from Ukraine-based rock band Ethereal Riffian but the band have returned with a new album and a new direction which you can check out with this exclusive premiere of their new album Legends.
It’s been five years since the world last heard from Kyiv-based spiritualized rockers Ethereal Riffian. Today, the band return with the release of their third full-length album Legends via Robustfellow Prod.
The album, their first release since their 2014 disc, Aeonian, sees the band expand on their musical diversity as they head down a fiercer, grunge-influenced style filled with hooks, catchy melodies and influences from a slew of great rock bands including Black Sabbath, Alice In Chains, Tool, Black Label Society, Metallica, Pink Floyd, Muse and High On Fire.
Speaking about the thought behind the album, Ethereal Riffian’s frontman, Val Kornev explained: “Until Legends, our ideological focus was to draw attention to the topics of self-transformation and spiritual development as a means of saving oneself and humanity. But the further I walk on my spiritual path and become more sensitive, the more I realize that we need to take strong actions if we don’t want mankind to perish in the following 100 years.”
“Our forests are burning, the air we breathe becomes hotter, animals perish, water resources become scarce, oceans and seas get contaminated, while we keep living ordinary lives, choosing idiots as our leaders and surrendering to “money god”. A lot of people think that we’re already doomed, but, in my opinion, the following 20–30 years will decide whether we’re worth inhabiting this planet or not. These Legends are about that version of mankind that’s worth it. It’s about the best in us that can make our civilization thrive and our planet blossom. This album is our hope and gift to the stagnating world.”
