adamdoom A diamond among the rubble. A unique sound and a fantastic experience of an album with a hard decision on favorite track. I find myself listening to the entire album whenever a single track comes on. A great sign for an album. Favorite track: The Oath of a Fire Bringer.

Get underway, whistle for the wind. Dead in water... Between the devil and the sea. I'll take the wind out of his sails. Dead in water... Between the devil and the sea. "Oh Great Sea, Your voice I hear, I seek strength, to fight my fear." Sacred waters, embrace my path to oblivion. Between the devil and the sea, My sacred nakedness is free, Between the devil and the sea.

One step at a time, never was blind. the wisdom I own, hold the weight of the world. Stuck deep with my feet on the ground, cheat Death with a smile, came here for a million times, lose myself... lost myself. One step closer atop, tomorrow I’ll fall, fall on my sword, hold the weight of the world. Stuck deep with my feet on the ground, cheat Death with a smile, came here for a million times, lose myself... lost myself. Crushing truth, defy your fate, vanish fear, live for today. We build our life for tomorrow, yet tomorrow bring us to Death, let the light guide your sorrow and forget that we'll die one day. Ride the pale horse...

about

The Same River is a rock band from Athens, Greece.

The Same River was founded by Diamond Pr (Cyanna Mercury) and Dimitris Georgopoulos (Cyanna Mercury, Deaf Radio) in August of 2019. After two months, the band's lineup was finalized with Fivos Katsifloros joining on the drums (One Man Drop), and Theodore Ntilgeris joining as a second guitarist (The Great Black Shark). From the first day, The Same River focused on writing songs that could deliver the band's vision of this world; a lust for life and passion for making music.

After a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, The Same River completed their four song debut "Live At The Blackbox", an EP recorded and mixed live, just to keep a ‘true and raw’ feeling. "Live At The Blackbox" was the world’s first introduction to The Same River back in March of 2020. Despite the difficulties and the lack of live performances, reviews were overwhelmingly positive and gave The Same River the strength and inspiration to complete their first full length album.

The record you are listening to now, Weight of the World, was a ten month struggle that was finalized in June of 2021. An eight song, full length album that embodies the bands love for heavy, rock-influenced psychedelic music. Lyrically, Weight of the World carries the band's philosophical concerns about the decadence of human society filtered through the fears of an unknown world after this pandemic ends. Heraclitus, Albert Camus, Sigmund Freud and many mythological aspects of our heritage (with a deeper meaning), such as Sisyphus and Prometheus, blend in a way and fulfills in rhymes what our vision for this world is about; solidarity, peace and understanding.
