Considering its members, River Black has great potential to be awesome. The band consists of guitarist John Adubato (ex-Burnt By The Sun), vocalist Mike Olender (ex-Burnt By The Sun, For The Love Of…, Endeavor), bassist Brett Bamberger (Revocation, Publicist UK), and Dave Witte (Municipal Waste, Publicist UK, ex-Burnt By The Sun) on drums. See what I mean? That lineup is just… great.
Fortunately we won't have to wait too long to hear music from the project either! The band is currently holed up in Trax East Studio in New Jersey with Eric Rachel (Municipal Waste, God Forbid) knocking out its debut record, due out later this year via Season of Mist. In the meantime, enjoy that dark and brooding picture above.
