Riket - 2026

Melodic Death Metal from Stockholm, Sweden

Finally, after a decade, two EPs and a string of singles, Swedish Death Metal outfit RIKET are set to unleash their first full-length. Simply titled 2026, you will only need one listen to realise it has been worth the wait, for this is a well-created and brutally impressive listen. 2026 challenges its audience to confront uncomfortable truths, both personal and societal. It doesn’t offer solace or smooth conclusions; instead, it confronts history head-on, reminding us how the choices of yesterday continue to shape the world we inhabit today. The result is an album that lingers long after the final note fades, a stark, resonant journey through memory, identity and the lingering shadows of time.
