The fifth studio album from 2013 by Polish progressive metal masters Riverside is finally available on vinyl again: 10th Anniversary re-issue as Ltd. edition transp. light blue 2LP on 180g vinyl, incl. 4-page LP-Booklet and the two "Night Session" bonus tracks. “Shrine of New Generation Slaves” was recorded, mixed and mastered at Serakos studio in Warsaw, Poland (where also the “Reality Dream” trilogy took shape) with Magda Srzednicka and Robert Srzednicki. It offers more than 50 minutes of high-class Riverside music divided into 8 songs, which don’t just clearly reflect a further developed, modern take on the band’s charismatic trademark elements, but also effectively adds further vibes of the Classic Rock segment as well as jazzy art-rock bits to the ever-challenging mix that Riverside has always stood for, maybe just less standard metallic and also less complex, without meaning less progressive.
