Riverhead
Cancer
When Jacob Bredahl entered RIVERHEAD as its new singer in 2021, and with the band underway with preparations for the upcoming record, he was diagnosed with cancer, which turned everything upside down. With a life threatening illness in the mix, an increased focus on the music and friendship, the subsequent process was both tough and beautiful, and the new album Cancer ended up creating itself, right there in the middle of the bands joint struggle for the project. Cancer is a rough, melodic rock album emanating the members background in hardcore and metal while the band treads new paths towards a more vulnerable expression. An approach that is a natural consequence of the dissolvement, illness and struggle that have marked the band these last years - a struggle which has now resulted in a strong and honest record about survival.
