Riverside have announced that their seventh studio album will be titled Wasteland and will arrive at the end of September.
The news comes after the band signed a record deal with InsideOut Music, with the Polish outfit also revealing that they’ll head out on a European tour later this year.
Riverside say in a statement: “Well, we're back in the game! We're happy to tell you that our seventh album will be called Waste7and (Wasteland) and will be released at the end of September this year.
“It will be our first album recorded as a trio. Our music has become more serious and more mature, so get ready for a manly and emotional album.
"Wasteland is going to be a really accomplished one. It combines the emotional character of the first two and the production maturity of the latest two releases. If everything goes according to plan – as we're still recording – the new Riverside album will simply destroy you!”
The tour in support of the new album will kick off with a run of shows across the band’s homeland of Poland, before dates in Germany, Portugal, Spain, France, the UK, Belgium, Netherlands and Switzerland.
Tickets will go on sale this Friday (June 1) with further dates expected to be added in due course.
Last year, Riverside brought in guitarist Maciek Meller for their live shows, following the death in 2016 of guitarist Piotr Grudzinski.
