The industrial rock band RI:SA has been keeping up the noise for about 5 years now. The band was formed by Sami and Riku who started recording music in their home studio Sami had been building into his garage in summer 2006. After having released 6 records over the course of 2006-2011 and gaining something of a cult status among the industrial circles of Mikseri.net, the band's been silent for a while now. This is what the band writes in the info file of their new compilation release:
this compilation of RI:SA-works from 2006 to 2011 (compiled by both members) marks the end of the first era of RI:SA, which consisted of noisy, synth-driven angsty industrial rock that sami and riku produced in their small studio later called "the vault72". today the vault72 is being teared down and the paths of sami and riku remain unknown, but for RI:SA this only means refreshment and a chance to pick a new direction to march on. after all, the silence of our muted misery still needs to be broken!
While the compilation is a good way for new listeners to get to know RI:SA, it also offers something for older listeners: the unreleased 2009 b-side 'kanssaihminen' (also being the only RI:SA-track with finnish lyrics), the hidden track of 'The Maggots Are Satisfied... And They Remind of Their Substrates' without the annoying 13-min silence in the beginning and the title track of their first EP 'Reflection' from 2006 which is a quite rare thing. Get it now!
