Rise unveiled exclusive premiere for new single “About ‘friends'”
This is about Rise… This is about musical hybridation. This is about a French three-piece entity mixing in the same original and “romantic” way post-metal, indie-pop & alternative black-metal. A musical project including a real visual ambition with graphic design, art-works and music videos in order to spread a personal vision of romantism.
A few weeks after unveiling an animated music video for the single “About duality”, Rise just unleashed an exclusive world premiere session through PureGrainAudio and Score A/V for a brand new song called “About ‘friends'”. This new track will feature on the debut full-length album by Rise, called “Resilience”, produced by Jochem Jacobs (ex-Textures) and expected on CD & digital in the coming weeks.

… For the record…
Natural evolution of the Andick solo project in 2009, RISE took its firststep during the spring of 2010. Affected by the artistic approach of Aymeric Goutal, it was in a spontaneous way that bassist Julien Bouladoux (also involved with alternative/hardcore/punk band The Prestige), then drummer Tadzio Gottberg decided to ally to his cause.
Borrowing its influences from the broadest musical horizon possible, RISE seeks above all to convey emotions. The power of Rock, the heaviness of Metal and the Classical drama are combined, thus giving birth to a rich and astonishing mixture. The topics approached, halfway between hope and melancholy, are primarily based on the concept of Resilience, dear to the project’s originator. Experiments share, transmission of emotions and vibrations in unison constitute a faithful triptych to RISE.
