Review: Sleeping by the Riverside

Sleeping by the Riverside
“A Breath Between Battles”
(Indianola Records)

For the most part, the songs are hardcore but alternate with some poppier melodic metal riffage, and vocals have the shout/scream thing going on.  Lyrical topics seem to involve dissappointments with society, love, and greed.  Sleeping by the Riverside aren’t changing the face of music, but they are making you think about history.  We should all be thankful for that.
