NEWS: Rifftera sink into the quicksand…

Finnish Metal band Rifftera have their new EP “Coda” pencilled in for 11th October for release via Inverse Records and have shared a second single “Quicksand” it in one called “Quicksand“. They claim it is from the more melodic side of their repertoire, although it doesn’t avoid going into the band’s common heavy riffing either. Oh and if you like Iron Maiden they have a cover of “Moonchild” on the record for your listening pleasure.

Guitarist and vocalist Mikko Kuoppamaa comments: “Quicksand is one of the few songs in which I have been involved heavily composing-wise and therefore it is an important song for me. The basic building blocks have been around for way too many years and now finally it has all the parts to form a fully functioning song – thanks to Janne (Hietala, band’s other guitarist & vocalist). I need to point out my own affection to Soilwork’s material from the early 2000’s. It’s possible to notice some nods to that direction from the verse and chorus of Quicksand.”
