Listen to RISING roar to "The Hills Below"

As previously announced, Danish metal troupe RISING has confirmed November 4th as the worldwide street date for their new album, Abominor, set for release through guitarist Jacob Krogholt's newly formed label, Indisciplinarian. Following its recent premiere on Danish National Radio, today, the fourth of the album's nine raging anthems, "The Hills Below," is now streaming via Youtube.

Abominor contains nearly forty minutes of new material, displaying a faster, more aggressive and gritty side to the RISING sound, incorporating more punk and crust influences, while remaining true to the melodic heaviness that has been a trademark of the band from the beginning. The album is produced by Jakob Reichert Nielsen, who also produced RISING's self-titled debut-EP as well as their debut album, To Solemn Ash, and the artwork created by singer/bassist Henrik Hald.

However, Abominor is to be the last album from this incarnation of the band. The year leading up to the recording sessions showed severe disagreements creatively and personally within the ranks, and upon finishing the album drummer Johansen and singer/bassist Hald left the band. Abominor thereby signifies the end of an era for RISING and as a result of the demise, there will be no tours or live performances directly in support of the LP.Main composer, guitarist and remaining member Jacob Krogholt has now teamed up with original drummer Martin Niemann, who formed the band alongside Krogholt in 2008, and the two core members will continue RISING with a new line-up and are currently busy writing new material to be recorded and performed live in the course of 2014.

Abominor will be released as 180 gram black vinyl limited to three hundred copies, as well as digitally worldwide. The LP version is now up for preorder to international customers at Indisciplinarian's new official website HERE. Fans in the US will be able to order the album directly from Earsplit in the coming weeks; stay tuned for preorder info.

RISING: Danish Metal Outfit Launches Label And Prepares To Release New LP In November

Danish doom-infused metal outfit RISING today confirms the release of their pending second LP this Fall, on their own newly-founded independent label, Indisciplinarian.

After two crushing EPs, RISING released their debut album To Solemn Ash via Exile On Mainstream in 2011, after which the band toured extensively, playing more than fifty shows throughout Europe. In the meantime, the band forged new and fiercer material, fuelled by growing differences within the band. The result is RISING's second album, Abominor, now confirmed for an early November release. The album was to be the final material from this particular constellation of the band, marking the end of an era, and a new beginning...

Containing nine tracks running nearly forty minutes in duration, Abominor displays a faster, more aggressive and gritty side to the RISING sound. With the songwriting process the band envisioned a somewhat harsher and loose album as a development from the more epic and melodic songs of To Solemn Ash, incorporating more punk influences while remaining true to the trademark RISING sound.Abominor was produced by Jakob Reichert Nielsen, who also produced the band's To Solemn Ash LP and their debut EP, and the artwork created by singer/bassist Henrik Hald.

However, Abominor is to be the last album from this incarnation of RISING. The year leading up to the recording of the album had shown severe disagreements creatively and personally within the band, and upon completion of the album, drummer Johansen and singer/bassist Hald left the band. Abominorthereby signifies the end of an era for RISING and as a result of the demise, there will be no tours or live performances directly in support of the album.

But the exit of Hald and Johansen will not mark the end of RISING, rather it marks a new beginning. Main composer, guitarist and remaining member Jacob Krogholt has teamed up with original drummer Martin Niemann, who formed the band alongside Krogholt in 2008, played on the debut EP and co-wrote tracks from the Legacy of Wolves single and To Solemn Ash. Krogholt and Niemann will continue RISING with a rebuilt lineup and are currently busy writing new material to be recorded and performed live in the course of 2014.

The release of Abominor also marks the first release on Jacob Krogholt's newly formed label Indisciplinarian co-formed with graphic designer, metal drummer and longtime friend Nikolaj Borg. Indisciplinarian will release the Abominor LP on 180-gram black vinyl limited to 300 copies, and digitally worldwide on November 4th, 2013. Check out the cover art for the album.

Abominor Track Listing:

1. The Disdain

2. Reproach

3. Vengeance is Timeless

4. The Hills Below

5. Leech

6. Suffering Nameless

7. Broken Asunder

8. The Malice

RISING: Exile On Mainstream Confirms Danish Metal Trio's Debut Album Details

Danish sludge trio RISING have confirmed the details of their forthcoming debut album, To Solemn Ash, set to be released through Exile On Mainstream Records this Autumn.

A seemingly out-of-place signing for the generally avant/stoner rock-based German imprint, RISING's honed, organic metal style caught the ear of Exile On Mainstream heads when the metal trio opened for label artist Celan in Copenhagen in 2009. Based on their devastating performance, RISING were subsequently invited to take part in the label's massive annual South Of Mainstream Festival in 2010. That year they also played two full European tours, the second one with now-labelmates, Beehoover. Following further talks,RISING have been confirmed as the "first official metal band" to be signed to the label, who are now preparing to release the band's massive To Solemn Ash debut.

Boasting over 48 minutes of pure thunder, the ten tracks of To Solemn Ash showcase the members of RISING bowing to metal gods Thin Lizzy, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, backed with the  aggression born of thrash founders Mercyful Fate, Metallica and Celtic Frost, the whole time being fueled by a more modern, sludge-laden style of riffage devout fans of High On Fire, Kylesa and Mastodon will be instantly attached to. To Solemn Ash will be released on CD, 180-gram LP and digital formats, in Europe on October 24, 2011, and in North America sometime in November, with an official release date via the label's stateside distribution by E1 Entertainment to be announced in the coming weeks. The album was produced by new producer talent Jakob Reichert Nielsen, mastered by Alan Douches (Converge, Mastodon, High on Fire) and features artwork of renowned Danish artist and music video director Jakob Printzlau aka Plastic Kid (Volbeat, lBMTH, Lack, Kashmir).
