THE SAME RIVER will release the new full-length “Weight of the World” on May 13!

“Weight of the World” is a chapter-based, philosophical concept album. The songs fulfill the vision of a world that's spinning through the wheels of confusion. The band hopes that the listener will feel familiar with this ”collection of moments and actions” delivered by humanity through the years of the pandemic.

The eight songs of the album embody the band’s love for heavy, rock-influenced psychedelic music. Lyrically, “Weight of the World” carries the band's philosophical concerns about the decadence of human society filtered through the fears of an unknown world after this pandemic ends. Heraclitus, Albert Camus, Sigmund Freud, and many mythological aspects of our heritage (with a deeper meaning), such as Sisyphus and Prometheus, blend in a way and fulfills in rhymes what our vision for this world is about; solidarity, peace and understanding.
