Says Riz, "This album is a meditation on the miracle of existing. It is a contemplation of the surreal reality that we find ourselves in as we float through a borderless expanse on a dust grain which has somehow come to life. Like the prior two albums the setting is a world in full collapse. And so, it is a bittersweet mixture of joy and bliss at the gift of existing intermixed with the tragedy of watching humanity destroy the planet and everything on it. This music is uncompromising and I've endeavored to push the limits of my creativity and instrumental capabilities with no considerations regarding its commerciality or accessibility - It is not meant for the casual listener, but rather those listeners who seek truly progressive music. "
ANYONE was formed by Riz Story, along with Jon Davison (Yes) and Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters) in the early 90's in Laguna Beach, California. Hawkins and Davison were replaced by the time the band signed with RoadRunner Records in 2000. Their self-titled debut album received much critical acclaim including a 5-star rating from Rolling Stone. In October of 2016 the single "
Fly Away" was featured in Story's debut feature film "A Winter Rose" and became the most listened to rock song in
America on digital formats, hitting #1 on the DRT
National Airplay Rock Chart. The 2020 album release of "On the ending earth…" was met with widespread critical acclaim. The 2021 release of "In Humanity" catapulted ANYONE into the prog elite with critics hailing this singular achievement by Riz Story as a "
Masterpiece" and a "Magnum Opus".
