Rioghan

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I remember loaning Ayreon’s album "Into the electric castle" from my friend. That was the day I understood that I really love progressive music. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Katatonia, Dead End Kings Leprous, Malina Periphery, Periphery V: Djent Is Not a Genre These were the bands I fell in love with, and what gave us a spark of inspiration for our own music with Rioghan. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Teardrop” I fell in love with the synth melody and the guitar riff right away when we got them together, and that inspired me to write the lyric which holds a personal meaning to me, a story about letting go of the past and the healing power of tears. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? The release of our Sophmore album 'Kept', which debuted at #6 on physical album charts. And of course our tour with WHEEL in -24, which grew our fanbase significally. Also our first festival show at the legendary Nummirock is one for the books! Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Growing our international fanbase in the scene of modern metal and progressive music. We are also looking forward touring in Europe and hitting the most important festival stages, like TUSKA, Hellfest, Summer Breeze and Wacken Open Air.
