Rioghan have released a new maxi-single called ‘Live from Alimus’ that contains three tracks.

Finnish progressive metal band Rioghan released earlier this year their second studio album ‘Kept‘. The band performed the entire album live at Alakulttuuritila Alimus one day before its release, and the performance was streamed online. A new three-track maxi single, ‘Live from Alimus’, recorded that evening, is released today and is available here: https://push.fm/fl/rioghan-live-from-alimus 

Rioghan has emerged as one of Finland’s most promising modern metal exports, making a strong impression with their dynamic and genre-blending sound. Their music seamlessly fuses modern metal with progressive structures and electronic elements, creating a sonic landscape full of contrasts — from crushingly heavy moments to dreamlike atmospheric passages. Combined with a raw yet beautifully crafted visual aesthetic, Rioghan’s world is one that’s easy to fall in love with.

The band has gained international attention since the release of their debut EP Blackened Sky. Their upward trajectory continued with the critically acclaimed debut album Different Kinds of Losses, featuring Einar Solberg (Leprous) and Jonas Renkse (Katatonia).

Their second album Kept (released Feb. 14th) debuted at #6 on the Finnish Physical Album Charts. The album received glowing reviews not only in Finland but also across Europe, the U.K., and the U.S. Kept also featured guest composer Vikram Shankar (Within Temptation, Pain of Salvation, Silent Skies, Lux Terminus).

To mark the conclusion of the Kept album cycle, Rioghan has released a live maxi single, Live From Alimus, featuring three live renditions from the record. These performances were captured during a professionally produced livestream concert, where Rioghan performed Kept in its entirety. The full video is now available on Bandcamp.

Currently, the band is focusing on live shows and recording a new EP, set for release in the upcoming winter.
