| For the Seattle-based AMPH (artistic, melodic, progressive, hard) rock band RISHLOO, music is an adventure without a destination, and the only wrong course is backwards. Starting with a sound reminiscent of artists such as Dredg, Tool, and The Mars Volta, RISHLOO layers their music with the emotional depth and beauty of Tori Amos, the furious honesty of Rage Against the Machine, the soul, songwriting, and social conscience of Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, and the sonic deviousness of Mogwai to create an aural experience that pushes Rock’s envelope while staying true to the genre’s roots. Having sold nearly 2,000 copies of their debut album, Terras Fames, to appreciative fans across the globe, RISHLOO has returned with their second offering.
The band’s sophomore effort, Eidolon, is a brazenly honest exploration of the motives, perceptions and emotional climate of the world in which we live that cuts through the relentless haze of distraction to offer a vision of what is possible when music, art and experience are not confined to a narrow spectrum. As Adam Roncaglione of Decoy Music puts it, “The album feels effortless without the slightest hint of pretension, endearing you to them almost instantly. … mounds of maturation have only given the band the boost from good to great on Eidolon. Although still unsigned, it's hard to understand why after hearing this new gem of a progressive rock album…”
Having performed at a number of shows and festivals featuring acts from Papa Roach, Cold, Sevendust, and Trapt to Judas Priest and Queensryche, RISHLOO plans to tour extensively over the coming months and hope to enlighten many in the process whether it be signed or independent. management@rishloo.com * booking@rishloo.com
