Ríona's Path

I'm finally here with some news. Book I. physical release is almost here. If you want more info, check out the post on my Tumblr blog.
There will be a more formal announcement and reveal very soon.

There has been a lot of work done on the physical CD + Book release behind the scenes. You can expect more news and promotional images in 2026. Furthermore, I have continued writing the story of Book III. while Book II. is musically almost finished as well.

Huzzah! I've successfully graduated! I have finished my bachelors's! Such a stressful few months and I'm so glad they're finally over!

Outlined the story of Book III yesterday. All I can say is it's going to be epic, pun intended.

Book I: A Raven Never Bites the Eye of Another, by Ríona's Path 6 track album

How are you all liking the album?

By the way, if you wanna support me - today is Bandcamp friday, meaning, all proceeds go directly to me, as bandcamp waives it's revenue share.

The album is only €7 and has an included bonus track otherwise unavailable!

I've recently got into mini figure painting after my brother convinced me to give it a try. My hands have a natural tremor so I thought I'd be terrible at it but after giving it a try a few weeks ago, I've now painted my D&D mini: a harengon ranger and ship captain - Captain Bucksworth Mossflannel

Tomorrow the album is out! Let's go!!!

3 MORE DAYS UNTIL THE ALBUM IS OUT!

I was in a car crash today. My bro and me are fine as it was a low speed collision, as was the lady who hit me. Luckily, no one got hurt.

I wasn't at fault but that doesn't make me feel any better right now.

My car will be fine as it's likely only bodywork damage on the front.

Only 10 days left and I'm very stoked to have my music released worldwide! The physical release will follow shortly afterwards as I've had little time to prepare for it between all my other obligations. Such is life.

Hey guys! I'm happy to announce the tracklist for the upcoming album!

If you missed the release of the single 'To Traverse the Frozen Plain' last week you can still find it on my bandcamp or YouTube!

Only two weeks left till the release of the album on the 18th of July! Book it!

To Traverse the Frozen Plains Single, by Ríona's Path 4 track album

The single to the upcoming Book I: A Raven Never Bites the Eye of Another is out!

This was one of the first songs created for the project almost 10 years ago. It has changed quite a bit through the years before its current iteration. Here are some demos and drafts I've uncovered in my archive.

Hey guys!

I’m so happy to unveil the cover artwork for Book I: A Raven Never Bites the Eye of Another which will be released on the 18th of July, 2025.

Many thanks to my brother @neonufo.bsky.social for the astounding work!

Make sure to continue following for another update in a couple of weeks.

I'm happy to announce the release date of my debut album, Book I: A Crow Never Bites the Eye of Another, on the Friday, July 18th 2025.

It's been a gruelling wait, I know, but it will soon be over. I'm thankful for every one of you who've followed me here and hope you'll continue to do so.

It's been 10 months since the release cycle of Book II finished, and it'll probably be a bit more before it restarts.

The focus on releasing the album keeps me in a standstill, incapable of continuing work.

Soon...

Proud to reveal something special today:

A week of respite was so rudely interrupted by continuous setbacks with a new 3D printer resin I so overconfidently bought 3L of.

Finishing up schoolwork and moving on to the visual design of the album. I can't wait!

I'm also working a bit on the world's recent history, getting it down into writing and more concrete rather than just have it float in my head.

Alongside this, I'm slowly finishing up Book 2's music as well.

It's done

The weird conundrum of being 'stuck' has been ailing me recently.

I have quit doom-scrolling through reddit and now I find myself opening my phone, going through the menu and then closing it again like a complete knob.

But I am reading more books again, which was the initial plan anyway.

With all the talk about AI research coming closer and closer to achieving sentience, I can only ever think about the quote from Mass Effect:

"Does this unit have a soul?"

I do love me some good D&D

I can see myself creating a complete symphony at some point in the far far future, but then I remember how much I love guitar solos. Symphonic music with shredding anyone? #music #progressivemetal

I just wanted to share my thoughts on bands and/or artists using AI art for their album covers. I think it's unethical and you can rest assured that the cover of 'Book I. A Raven Never Bites the Eye of Another' will be made by a human.

Lately, I've been listening to Magma when writing/world-building. Can't recommend this album enough!
