About Riven Earth

Three musicians Decades of musical experience One shared passion for progressive rock

Riven Earth

How It All Began

The story of Riven Earth began in the 1970s. Wolfgang Beckers played with Apares, while Günter Schlünkes performed with several bands including Fusion, Waran, Counting To 10 and Mayflower. Uli Krücken was also active as a singer in several bands, among them The Cube and Counting To 10, where he played together with Günter.

Only decades later did the three musicians reunite, this time in the band SINS. After the breakup of SINS, they decided to pursue their musical ideas and their passion for progressive rock together.

They created a new studio project devoted entirely to music: Riven Earth .

Why A Studio Project?

  • Riven Earth is a pure studio project. There are no plans for live performances.
  • The music of Riven Earth is complex and multifaceted, making it difficult to reproduce on stage.
  • The members of Riven Earth have other commitments and projects that do not allow regular live performances.
  • Riven Earth prefers to focus on creative work in the studio and on producing the best possible music without the demands and logistics of live shows.

Conclusion

Riven Earth is more than just a band.

It is the joy of three musicians who, after decades of musical experience, still enjoy creating new music, telling stories and exploring musical boundaries.

Because great music knows no age limits.

Looking Ahead

More than five decades after their first musical experiences and many years after the foundation of Riven Earth, the journey is far from over. Even today, new ideas, new songs and new stories continue to emerge. The release of the fifth album is planned for the end of this year – another step on a journey that once began with a single song: Darkness .

Riven Earth remains what it has always been: Three musicians sharing a passion for progressive rock and creating music inspired by personal experiences, social themes and the joy of composing.
