Following the announcement of their signing with Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records and the release of their first new single »Red River«, Greek heavy psych/stoner rock outfit Paranoid Reverb now unveil the full details of their second full-length album, »Red River Black Roots«.

The album will be released on September 18, 2026 via Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records on CD and digital. Alongside the album announcement, the band also release their second single, »0315«, available now on all major streaming platforms.

Following their 2020 debut »Billion Drops«, »Red River Black Roots« marks a more deliberate and mature phase for Paranoid Reverb. The album expands their heavy psych/stoner rock foundations through denser rhythmic structures, darker tonal shades and atmospheric layers, while retaining the raw, performance-driven energy of their live sound.

Recorded in April 2025 at Shellac Recording Studios in Thessaloniki and completed the following month at producer Paris Parasidis’ studio, the album places dynamics and authenticity at its core. Organic percussion, metallic objects and ambient textures become part of a sound that moves between heavy eruptions and hypnotic passages, creating a distinctly live-oriented feel without sacrificing weight or atmosphere.

Thematically, »Red River Black Roots« explores pressure, introspection, renewal and the tension between decay and transformation. Its title reflects this journey: the “river” represents a descent into chaos, while the “roots” suggest a return to origin. Together, they form the central metaphor connecting the album’s narrative and sonic progression.

With new vocalist Manos Gotsis and a renewed creative direction, Paranoid Reverb enter this new chapter with their most focused and personal work to date.

»Red River Black Roots« will be released on September 18, 2026 via Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records on CD and digital.

Manos Gotsis – Vocals
