Riverside have released a video for their new single Lament.

It’s the latest material taken from the band’s upcoming album Wasteland, which will launch on September 28 via InsideOut Music.

Riverside previously shared the tracks River Down Below and Vale Of Tears.

Speaking previously about the album, Mariusz Duda said: “Wasteland is mostly about what's happening in the world these days but it also makes a reference to the tragedy that befell the band in 2016.  

“Musically, we've returned to darker sounds but we have also turned a new page and recorded the album in a different style. It's still Riverside but expressed in a much deeper and more mature way.”

He added: "Wasteland is an epic, multidimensional, poetic and very deep album. Perhaps of the once in a lifetime kind.”

Riverside will head out on tour in support of the album throughout October and November. Find further details below.
