Dublin based Melodic Death Metal band The Risen Dread is leaning toward a different sound in 2021 comparing to their EP from 2019. Drummer Colum Cleary, guitarist William Ribeiro, bassist Mat Maher and Marco Feltrin have produced themselves and brough Andreas Kisser from Sepultura to be the guest in “White Night”.
“White Night” denote a crisis within Peoples Temple (Jonestown), followed by a rehearsal of collective suicide. Jim Jones had performed several of these simulations before the day it happened. Reverend Jim Jones had ordered his entire community to drink a flavoured drink mix treated with a mixture of potassium cyanide and tranquillisers, placed in industrial buckets. In total, 909 individuals died in Jonestown; Jim Jones shot himself in the head at the end of that night.
