RISING's debut full-length, To
Solemn Ash, is nearing North American release via Exile On Mainstream
Records on January 17th, the Danish trio's thunderous melding of sludge/stoner
rock and straight-up classic metal captured on the LP with amazing production.
Having already pillaged the Danish press as well as dozens of major metal/rock
mags and zines across Europe, To Solemn Ash is starting to
heavily root itself in the North American scene as the stateside release of the
album nears.
Today
Pitchfork is hosting a stream of the opening track to the album,
"Mausoleum." Check out the worldwide public premiere of the newly
unleashed anthem RIGHT
HERE.
To
Solemn Ash boasts
nearly fifty minutes of RISING's solid doom-and-groove heavy metal
thunder over ten tracks, produced by Jakob Reichert Nielsen, mastered by Alan
Douches (Converge, Mastodon, High On Fire, etc.) and bearing artwork of Jakob
Printzlau aka Plastic Kid (Lack, Volbeat, BMTH, Kashmir, etc). To
Solemn Ash will be available in a 4-panel digifile CD, gatefold
180-gram LP and digital download.
"...Rising
have a knack for huge, blustery sludge anthems..." - Pitchfork
"...tracks
that sound like they're going to implode in a mess of smoldering tar, cracked
horse hooves, bong glass shards, transmission pieces from a 1971 Corvette
Stingray and flaming lumberjack axes... 8/10" - Decibel
"The band tempers the heft and brutality of sludge
and doom with enough trad-metal finesse to render an exceptionally listenable
record that still hits hard." - MetalReview
"The band knows how to put rocking, heavy-ass tunes
together, tunes that flow like a river of molten lead." - Doommantia
"...these guys expertly blend vintage metal with
sludge to create both the typical down-in-the-muck feel and headbanging
grooves." - Popdose
"Moving from menacing to melodic in the space of
minutes, the band are clearly competent at their sound..." - Metal Reviews
