The River is a doom metal band from Croydon, UK. The River plays a traditional form of doom metal, but they have soon forged their own brand of Doom Metal by incorporating downtuned heavy riffing and female vocals.

Biography

The River formed in 1999, starting life as an Epic Doom Metal band. As the years & line-ups have progressed so has the sound into something more individual yet still retaining the traditions of the Doom Metal genre. The core of the band's sound is the crushing guitars mixed with the soulful vocals & melodic song structures, never shying away from their roots yet always individual in approach. Having recorded 4 demos, the most recent two "Oneiric Dirges in Mono" 2003 & "Different Ways to be Haunted" 2005 having sold 1000's of copies between them, the band have also played gigs with the likes of Warning, Slough Feg, Reverend Bizarre, Brocas Helm & Esoteric amongst others as well as playing at Doom Shall Rise 3. The band's debut cd 'Drawing Down The Sun' is available now via Retribute records & a recently recorded 10" for The Church Within records should be available in the near future. They have now been signed to The Miskatonic Foundation for their forth coming album.
