RIWEN
THE COLD

Johannes from the world known Cult Of Luna started the hardcore band Riwen, with no rules and no mercy; it is hard, simple, raw and fast. Johannes on his new band: “It’s a short and simple story: I got fed up with the big productions and long sound checks that comes with Cult of Luna. So, it’s back to the roots of my salad days in Umeå. It’s time to make it simple, raw and fast. This is hardcore.”
With inspiration from the time when he was a vegan straight edge punk kid, and the bands Judge, Battery, Integrity, ACME and Damnation AD, Johannes and Riwen started writing direct music tailor-made to induce mosh mayhem and walls of death.
