Rioghan, known for a powerful and multifaceted brand of modern metal, continues their intriguing story today with the release of the new single “Chapter II: Moment.” This stunning original track unfolds from a piano led ambience and electronic pulse toward a cathartic, emotional eruption. This is the second single from their upcoming EP, following the previously released “Chapter I: Frozen,” which quickly drew attention across metal and alternative audiences both in Finland and abroad. Rioghan Darcy explains the lyrical heart of the song, saying, “Moment continues EP’s storyline at the point where the ice begins to crack. The track describes the moment when the thaw begins – a delicate but decisive movement towards change. It’s the instant you realize that things aren’t as they should be, and change is necessary.” The new track arrives with a visually striking music video once again crafted in collaboration with Aarni Visuals.
This year has proven to be a significant one for the band. Rioghan’s second album ‘Kept’ was released in February, successfully debuting at number six on the physical album chart and earning glowing reviews internationally. In addition to a release tour, the band performed with alternative pioneer SARA at Ääniwalli in Helsinki and rocked their first festival appearance at Nummirock. The exciting momentum carries into the end of the year. Rioghan appeared at the H 18 Halloween event at Science Center Heureka, and this Friday, November 28, the band will take the stage at John Smith Frozen in Jyväskylä. Both of these are special acoustic performances, offering a unique, thrilling, and enchanting chance to experience Rioghan’s sonic world from a new perspective.
