Finnish Rioghan is back after their successful debut album Different Kinds Of Losses which was released on last December via Inverse Records.
The band is currently preparing their second studio album but before that they released a 3-track EP titled Covers III on December 15th 2023. The chosen cover tracks are Toxic (Britney Spears), Sweet Death (King Dude) and Lethean (Katatonia).
Rioghan comments:
“Toxic was such an entertaining song to work with, as we got to figure out a completely different approach to this iconic pop song (which has, not gonna lie, spinned a few times in my record player too back then). Me and Teemu wanted to bring a little rougher tones to this one, and in our opinion the song bended beautifully to a whole new prog metal vibe.”
