BLACK WATER RISING’S SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM TO BE RELEASED DIGITALLY FRIDAY JULY 17TH, 2009

Hard rockers BLACK WATER RISING are proud to announce the worldwide digital release of their self-titled debut album. The album will be available on I-TUNES Rhapsody.com, Napster.com, and Amazon.com

The self-titled debut from BLACK WATER RISING, is a collection of soul baring, angst ridden, riff heavy material that is proudly anchored in the foundations of traditional hard rock song writing. Its giant guitar driven monster riffs are served up on a bed of crushing grooves with soaring melodic vocals and big hooks. Basically, NO FRILLS RIFF ROCK!

Lyrically, the message is socially and politically driven by the dark times we live in. With darkness seemingly growing by the day, BLACK WATER RISING is a name that fits this band like a glove.

Black Water Rising’s first single “Brother Go On” has been receiving heavy rotation on Sirius's Satellite Radio's Octane channel. Drummer Mike Meselsohn says of the new record, “There seems to be a real demand for this album and we no longer want to keep our fans waiting. It’s been a long time coming and we are psyched to finally be getting it out there.”

With over 50,000 friends on MySpace, mostly from word-of-mouth alone (a lot generated from Sirius Octane), the fan response from around the world has been overwhelmingly positive.

Let’s not forget that BLACK WATER RISING is a High Times Doobie Award Winner for Best Rock/Alternative Artist, beating out The Mars Volta, The Eagles of Death Metal, Staind, Danko Jones, and Warrior Soul.

The philosophy of BWR is simple: they are not looking to reinvent the wheel; they just want to give it a much needed alignment in these musically stale times. Enough bullshit! Crank it up and let the music tell the rest of the story...
