The track Voyage\\The Great Sea, from Greek rock group THE SAME RIVER, features two-parts. The first part (‘Voyage’) is life. The everlasting struggle from the day we are born until we draw our last breath. The fight with our inner demons, the fear of the unknown and the everyday effort we make to embrace the gift of existence. The second part (‘The Great Sea’), is afterlife. In many old myths from various civilisations, the passage to afterlife is commonly referred to as the great sea of souls. A place where unity is achieved. A place or a state where everyone becomes All. Musically the song is structured with the sense of constant movement, likening the waves of a sea and the journey of life and soul concurrently.

Voyage\\The Great Sea is taken from the forthcoming album Weight of the World from Greek heavy rock group The Same River. The album is set for release on May 13th, 2022 via Sliptrick Records and is already available to pre-order now from Shop Sliptrick at Dead Pulse …here

Weight of the World is the title song of the forthcoming album from Greek heavy rock group THE SAME RIVER. The album is set for release on May 13th, 2022 via Sliptrick Records and is already available to pre-order now from Shop Sliptrick at Dead Pulse …here

The band had this to say about the single; “The main reason is for the title is that the song amalgamate the vibes and the idea of this record in its entity. Lyrically inspired by Sisyphus, both the Greek myth and the homonym philosophical essay by Albert Camus. The absurd (finding meaning in life) is a fundamental human need. During the start of the pandemic in 2020 we found ourselves in a state of inertia and lack of will. Weight of the World was the firstborn child after the lockdown. A boulder we had to push even if we had to see it roll down again.”

As Camus says: “The struggle itself …is enough to fill a man’s heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy”.

Heavy rockers THE SAME RIVER have signed a deal with Sliptrick Records.

The Same River is a rock band from Athens, Greece founded by Diamond Pr (Cyanna Mercury) and Dimitris Georgopoulos (Cyanna Mercury, Deaf Radio) in August of 2019. After two months, the band was completed by Fivos Katsifloros (One Man Drop) and Theodore Ntilgeris (The Great Black Shark). From the very first day The Same River focused on writing songs that can deliver their vision of this world; a lust for life and passion for making music.

In short the band is “four guys creating music, opposing the cruelty of this world with riffs and melodies. The Same River never step twice in the waters of our fears and they’re trying to create something soulful without looking back.”

After lots of sweat and tears, the groups four song debut was complete. An EP, recorded and mixed live, just to keep it’s true and raw feeling. Through the mist of the pandemic, Live At The Blackbox introduced The Same River to the world in March of 2020. Despite the difficulties and the lack of live performances, the reviews were overwhelming and gave them the strength and inspiration to complete their first full length album, Weight Of The World, set for release via Sliptrick Records in 2022.
