Riverhead

RIVERHEAD was formed in 2015 and consists of four experienced musicians, who know each other from the Danish metal and hardcore scene having played together in different contexts in the past. They released their debut album ‘Nothing’ in 2018. Along the way, the band played a good amount of shows and deservedly earned its reputation for being an intense, tight live unit.

When Jacob Bredahl in 2020 entered the band being well underway with preparations for the upcoming record, he was diagnosed with cancer, which turned everything upside down. With a life threatening illness in the mix, an increased focus on the music and friendship, the subsequent process was both tough and beautiful, and the new album ‘Cancer’ ended up creating itself, right there in the middle of the band’s joint struggle for the project. The creative process, which had been democratic from day one, was now a fellowship carrying meaning in itself - as a part of the fight to live, of being here and now, in the same room.

The struggle has materialized into RIVERHEAD’s second album ‘Cancer’ which looks inwards and focuses on life, death and the fight for survival, both mentally and physically.
