This is their 5th album and it has become their most successful album to date. The music can
be simply described as a unique mix of dynamic rock and beautiful melodies. References to
other bands might be Deep Purple, Porcupine Tree, Marillion.
At the Classic Rock Prog Awards Riverside was nominated as "Breakthrough Artist of 2013".
Also on the live front 2013 was a huge success. The band played over 80 "New Generation"
shows visiting almost 30 countries. Because of this success and the high demand (especially
from the UK), Riverside has decided to do one more New Generation tour. Taking place in
April, 2014. During this tour they will for sure play some songs that they did not play in 2013

Poland’s prog rock masters RIVERSIDE continue to promote
their latest, much acclaimed album “Shrine of New
Generation Slaves”, which was released at the beginning of
2013 via InsideOutMusic/Century Media.
2012 was another busy year for the band. March brought Negura
Bunget on Paganfest Europe 2012 on a amazing line-up along
Eluveitie, Primordial, Heidevolk and Solstafir. April/May was time
for the very first US and Canadian tour - almost 40 dates were set
for this amazing endeavor / Transilvanian Legacy US. Some summer
festivals followed. The first part of the visual / musical trilogy was
developed and a complex production and recording process started.
Some media recognition - the band was voted Best Romanian Metal
band in 2012 by
, Romanian leading metal Portal
and Metal Artist of 2012 by
.
The 2013 started again intensely, with a complete reset of the band
studio and live concept, meant to open brand new paths for Negura Bunget. The EP gînd a-prins
was completed in autumn, serving as an introduction for the TAU album. The band presented live
this evolution on the TAU tour, traveling throughout all Europe again.
With more than 500 live appearances up to date, Negura Bunget is ready to unleash the power of
their Black Metal, promoting its musical and spiritual vision and, as always… The Transilvanian
Spirituality.
