Release the River

An unrelenting powertrio rising from the depths of medieval Leiden poised to redefine the landscape of blackened deathmetal. With a mere of three souls they stand as a powerhouse crafting colossal walls of sound and bringing forth musical tempests.

A fusion of metal music. Release the River fuses the fiery rhythmic power of deathmetal and hardcore with the haunting atmosphere and blastbeats from the Nordic realms of blackmetal.

RELEASE THE RIVER unleashed their debut full-length album, 'Virtues of the Vile', in September 2024. This release stands as a testament to the strength found in the unholy trinity of their musical communion. Dive into the abyss with us and explore the vile tendencies of humanity on earth.
