Νομίζω αυτό συνδέεται με τα όσα γράφουν στο τελευταίο instagram post τους.

When we started playing this song at rehearsals, we realised that it might be a bit too much Not only will it offend true progressive rock fans, but it will also be a blow to the heart of fans of melancholia and depth in our music. Those fans for whom the benchmark is “SLS”, the best and most substantial Riv release ever (and we’re not saying it isn’t so :)) What is this anyway? A punk-pop fusion of Rush and The Police? Where the hell is Riverside in it?
The new album is talking about how we are perceived by others and how we should keep our identities and stick to being ourselves. How unrewarding all the cages, drawers and habits can be. One of the songs, “The Place Where I Belong”, talks about how each of us has a certain frame in which others want to see us. How it’s acceptable to be moving around only within that frame, otherwise we risk causing discomfort in others. The question is: what’s more important, to be true to yourself or to keep others comfortable?
”Self-Aware” is a song for us, for our fans, and for our Riverside family. We live in such shitty, dangerous, bad times, we are so divided, forced to accept others’ opinions on what’s right and what’s wrong, that on the new album we decided to finally rebel a little. In a few ways. But most of all, convey two main messages: firstly, without a united community, without cooperation and coexistence, we will not get too far. Secondly, without being true to ourselves, we won’t be able to make our own decisions.
“ID.Entity” is our most progressive and most exuberant album since ADHD. We said it once and it wasn’t a lie. But it is not an album like ADHD. “ID.Entity” marks the beginning of a new chapter in our career, in which we return to the old style a little, but not completely. Besides, the opening and closing tracks are the most controversial songs we’ve recorded And in their full album versions, they sound even more powerful, as if they were recorded live.
So thanks again to all of you who accept us the way we are and the way you can see us in our new video. And If you didn’t know us from this side - well, nice to meet you
