Before the Rise

Formed in November of 2006 the Southern New Hampshire based band has made a lot of headway in a short amount of time. With a sound that manages to touch upon the Staind, Taproot and Alice in Chains explorations of melodic rock, with the metal intensity of the Deftones, Sevendust and Nonpoint. The band has gained immediate noteriety by playing out live in support of renowned acts as Nonpoint, Skindred, Karnivool, Ankla, Drowning Pool, Powerman 5000, Diecast, and Kittie... as well as Bostons biggest local acts, Till We Die, Prospect Hill, Escape to Everything, One in Vain, and many more! In October of 2007, the band was invited to record their debut album at the world renowned Bieler Bros Studio in Pompano Beach, Fl. The Bieler Bros label is home to many National acts such as Nonpoint, Skindred, and Smile Empty Soul. The band’s album, "Seed to Soil" was produced and engineered by Matt LaPlant, who also just produced Nonpoint’s last 2 albums, "To the Pain", and the latest, "Vengance". Returning home a month later, the band immediately started to look for more shows to book. Upon searching for gigs, the band was asked to support The Dreaming, which features former singer of Stabbing Westward, in the very first LocoBazooka Tour. Now with an amazing album and a national tour invitation, they gained attention of local indie label Screaming Ferret, and the band was signed within a few weeks. "Seed to Soil" is currently set to be released in the summer of ’08 in stores accross the country. Read more on Last.fm.
