Classic rock meets heavy metal on "Peace and Conflict"; the second studio album by Swedish five piece The Riven. Since the release of their debut, self-titled album from 2019, the group has recruited a second guitarist, enabling more dynamic twin guitar arrangements and colorful melodic elements enriching the new tracks. This combined with a powerful vocal performance and a tightly pounding rhythm section results in a full blown rock explosion divided into 9 new tracks. The band comments: "Peace & Conflict is full of catchy rock tunes and psychedelic vibes. It's only half as long as a Stranger Things episode, so make sure you give it a spin and find out who dies at the end."

The biting guitar riffs, the acrobatic solos and the sumptuous bass rides forcefully catapult us into the eighties, the golden years of our favorite music. The bare-bones, analog-flavored sounds are the icing on the cake to relive the golden era of metal.
