River Rise Band have released their third studio album ‘Changing Seasons’, a sonically dense and emotionally reflective record that marks a clear turning point in the band’s journey. Formed by Juliana von Mühlen on vocals, Márcio Arend on guitar, Marcelo Pesh on drums, and Ozéias Rodrigues on bass, the band lean into themes of transformation, loss, resilience, and renewal. The album explores the idea of cyclical movement in both life and art, where calm follows chaos but traces of what came before always remain.
Written lyrically by Juliana von Mühlen and composed, produced, and recorded alongside Márcio Arend in their home studio, ‘Changing Seasons’ expands the band’s sound through heavier textures, varied tunings, shifting time signatures, and a progressive edge. Arend’s guitars drive the record with intense riffs and unexpected rhythmic turns, locked tightly with incisive bass lines and explosive drumming. Juliana’s vocals move fluidly between force and restraint, cutting like a cold river current before softening into moments of release. Mature, ambitious, and deeply intentional, the album stands as a watershed moment for River Rise Band.
