"River Of Diamonds", the sixth solo album by the queen of Scandinavian Gothic Metal, continues the path set by the internationally acclaimed EP "Have Courage Dear Heart" (2021).

 

All tracks on the new album were composed by Liv's longtime friend Tommy Olsson (Theatre of Tragedy, Long Night) at his Black Rider Records studio in Tau, near Liv Kristine's birthplace of Stavanger in Norway.

 

Carmen Elise Espenæs (Savn, Midnattsol) appears as an exceptional duet partner on the faster track "Love Me High." Also, Liv's husband Michael Espenæs is the voice behind the highly emotional male vocals on Jon Lord's masterpiece "Pictured Within." Another cover, "True Colours" (Cindy Lauper), was re-recorded by Ecor (Rocco Cogliati) with keyboards and piano.

 

Both Songs are bonus tracks on the digipak CD version.
