With their striking vocals, they use mystical-philosophical lyrics to speak of their greatest source of inspiration: the universe, its unimagined possibilities, and endless expanses. Combined with driving drum beats, heavy riffs, and futuristic guitar sounds, these blend into a thrilling musical journey through space and time. In seven songs, the Vienna-based quartet tells a story about the eternal departure from one’s own transience.

Life as a turbulent odyssey, accompanied by dangers, fears, and longings, as well as a journey of hope, courage, and confidence in our infinite universe. GREAT RIFT manages to musically package this seemingly weighty yet timeless theme into a soundscape that seamlessly follows its predecessor, UTOPIA, and impressively demonstrates their musical development.

TRANSIENT is GREAT RIFT’s third studio album. The album was produced by Hannes Mottl Audio in Vienna and mastered by Mikey Allred of Dark Art Audio in Nashville.
