<center>what have i become?
where did my childhood go?
who am i to judge the redemption and light of someone
when i've only exposed myself to the greatest disappointment of all?
who am i to raise death to a higher significance than life?
who am i to condemn the axioms of nature and deny the paradise that surrounds me?
when was it that i closed the curtains and betrayed this world?
when was it that i betrayed us all by no more letting the light inside my heart?

there is no traitor
there are no traitors other than ourselves
if we give no value to this bruised and beautiful world
we will become nothing
if we give no value to the hearts of all humanity
we will all become the gods of our own emptiness
silent and lonely, given away our only redemption
the earth, the sky, the silence, the music, the breeze of summer air and the mystery and wonder, what can and what cannot be seen
where did our childhood go
when perfection was the joy and disappointment combined
and why only disappointment remains from those times?</center>

RI:SA is an industrial rock project formed by Sami J and Riku S in 2006. During their Mikseri.net-era, the duo produced 7 releases: ‘Reflection EP’ in 2006, ‘Parabolic EP’ and ‘empty album’ in 2007, ‘Reincarnate_VIR’ and ‘heart’ in 2008, ‘The Maggots Are Satisfied… And They Remind of Their Substrates’ in 2010 and ‘time never passed’ in 2011 (the last release with Riku’s contribution.) In 2012, RI:SA released only one song, ‘success pt3’ (on a single titled ‘final’), and announced hiatus.

In 2014, RI:SA released a trailer for an upcoming album titled self-deception on a website titled RI:SA_sys. The trailer hints towards a more rock-influenced sound, moving away from the EBM/aggrotech influences present in their past releases.
