They come from Poland, they are now signed on "inside out" for their second album, they have a really good sound... it's sometimes  soft, sometimes heavier, the singer has a really nice voice...

Riverside is great indeed. They ended at number two in my 2005-yearlist. Second Life Syndrome is a concept and it's continueing where Out Of Myself ( the previous album ) ended.

Highly recommendated.  *ola*

Yes, you're right!  They are excellent musicians.  Theyre playing Nearfest this summer.

Indeed, I discovered them two weeks ago. Great music, though I am not fond of those little 'grunts'. But it is not that disturbing.

Well, to be honoust at first it was a shock for me too, though i like Opeth a lot. I first heard his voice, a calm and relaxing but very progish but when the "growls" came in, i was stunned. But now i'm used to it.  ;)

You know, I listened to The Drapery Falls of Opeth. It's a GREAT song. With excelent vocals too. But when the growls come in it's getting worse. I'm not keen on the growls, so Riverside won't be my thing, I think.
But I'll give it a listen anyway. Is there a place where I can hear samples? Official site perhaps?

Riverside. Great band. Totally blown away by them (grunty-type vocals are virtually non-existant btw).

;D

I heard Damnation. It's pure genius. Seriously!
And I heard Ghost Reveries sometime, but I didn't dig that, I'll try again soon.

Hey PH, You just HAVE to try again! I just listened to Ghost Reveries (again) in the car. It rocks! Don't let the growling put you off, 'cause I didn't like it either, just as you. I always found the music great, but I just couldn't stand those growls! The only reason I kept on listening was the brilliant music. And now, after a couple of months I'm used to the growling. I'm even starting to like them!

Now I can fully enjoy Ghost Reveries as a whole! It's worth it!

Yes, RIVERSIDE is really good. It's interesting that they are more popular in others countries than in their homeland....Poland....

I wonder if their popularity in other countries has something to do with the fact that they sing in English and not their native Polish?

Poland is really strange country, where good rock and metal are ignored by radio stations...it's sad but true....

  I don't like Riverside. Prefer to listen to their countrymen as Satellite and Quidam.  ;)

I think that's everywhere.
Here in Holland the radiostations only play Pop, Trance (on some stations), Rap :-X , and some cheap soft rock.

That reminds me of a little country next to Germany. I wonder why?

Riverside are great indeed.

Their latest "Second Life Syndrome" has (temporariliy I'm sure) knocked Arena off the top of my current playlist  !

Agree the growls are a bit unusual, but I've got used to them now and kind off like them.

'SLS' is indeed marvellous, just got it at the weekend.  Seems to be some great music emerging from Poland these days - perhaps its the new home of prog, just as England was in the 70s.  I'd agree Quidam are also well worth checking out.

Actually I just listened to Quidam and it's great music (indeed better than Riverside, but it's a different genre of course)

I think Quidam is more symphonic than Riverside which is more on the heavy side (Prog Metal?).
I really like the flutes in Quidam. But with Quidam's latest album the difference is a bit smaller. :D Now Quidam sounds more like a Porcupine Tree.
