Can I be honest with you? Good. My brother loves Rishloo. He is a fan of metal in a way I cannot quite wrap my brain around. Whenever he tries to talk to me about metal, he always brings up Rishloo - a band he is convinced I will like because of the way it incorporates progressive rock and psychedelia influences. At one point, he dragged me down to see a show, and you know what? It was fucking fun. The lead singer has a perfect falsetto metal wail, which works expertly with the faux-introspective flow of the music. I don't want to convince you Rishloo is more than it is, but the band is a hell of a lot of fun. And they really deliver on their ridiculous promise.
