THE RISING is atypical project, because it was created by the persons who never met. Moreover the two musicians live in different continents. Jeremy Hinskton is the founder of the project – THE RISING. When he left the USA and settled in Switzerland then he continued there his musical thirsts. However Aaron Cloutier still lives in the USA and creates own the solo project – DAVOLA. The two men met in a virtual space by Internet and they decided to materialize their musical works. To be honest I say that I do not know details how the material was recorded, but in the XXI century almost all is possible (I think about the production of music)….

“The Rising” is the title of the four tracks of the Ep. The material was made professionally and even nobody (during listening) will not think that the creators recorded this material in so an unconventional way. The tracks of the bass, the drums and the part of the guitars belong to Jeremy, and the vocals and the rest of the guitars are Aaron's authorship.

The music is overthrowing totally! I do not know earlier works of Jeremy but I know the project of Aaron – DAVOLA – and a similar climate is in THE RISING. Maybe the two musicians prefer the similar sounds, that is… Extreme Metal… that is the powerful mixture of Thrash/Death/Nu Metal and Hard Core with the heavy and very dynamic the riffs (with low tuned the guitars and the bass) as well as with the strong and aggressive hits of the drums (the passages, the blasts and the accents) as well as with the brutal noisy singing (sometimes with the melodious singing). The arrangements of the guitars are polyphonic. It makes really interesting effect, it's like the controlled chaos or the crushing wall of sound. Though the solo moments or the passages of the clean guitars also appear here. If I would have to find some comparison… I think… for example SLIPKNOT, though THE RISING is more brutal.

The whole is the very quick and destructive material, though the decelerations also happen here. However all is very brutal and aggressive. “The Rising” is the piece of the very heavy, brutal and dark music.
