Rioghan is a Finnish modern metal act blending gothic melancholy, progressive intensity, and cinematic atmosphere into something both fragile and powerful. After the success of their sophomore album Kept, Rioghan begins a new creative cycle with the upcoming Frozen EP.

The Frozen EP unfolds as a continuous story told in chapters — each song revealing a new layer of emotion and intensity.
The story moves forward with the release of its third single. “Chapter III: Teardrop” raises the stakes, revealing the heavier side of the EP while maintaining Rioghan’s signature blend of darkly infectious pop melodies and emotionally charged themes.

Emerging as one of Finland’s most promising modern metal exports, Rioghan’s music fuses modern metal with progressive and electronic elements, shifting from crushing heaviness to dreamlike atmospheres, creating a sonic landscape full of contrasts. Combined with a raw yet beautifully crafted visual aesthetic, Rioghan’s world is one that’s easy to fall in love with.
