Rian – Out Of The Darkness 2017


MelodicRock Records is once again tapping into the magic that is Sweden’s reservoir of talent to bring you a monster debut album from one of the country’s best young bands. We’re very excited to announce the signing of Rian, a melodic hard rock trio from Stockholm. Rian’s melodic hard rock sound is a unique combination of 80s AOR with a modern American rock sound.

The guys have spent the last year working on their debut album “Out Of The Darkness” with producer Daniel Flores (Mind’s Eye, Find Me, The Murder of My Sweet). Frontman Richard Andermyr was a fan of Daniel’s work and wanted to see if he could imagine mixing their recordings. After listening to the demos, he instantly understood the potential and said that he was ready to not only to mix, but also to produce and record their album.
The result is “Out Of The Darkness”, a powerful, melodic hard rock record that is filled with hooks, harmonies and a gritty edge that gives them an original sound. Their influences are many, including Bon Jovi, Chicago, Dokken, FM, Gary Moore, Giant, Journey, Metallica, Skid Row, Toto, Van Halen, Warrant, Whitesnake and Winger.
