Our new album, "Second Assault", will be available on CD as of the 12:th of march 2012. The LP version does not yet have a set date of release but hopefully it won't be too long a wait.
Here is the official Rise Above press release:
Horisont - Second Assault
For a country with a population of less than ten million, Sweden packs a heavy punch when it comes to loud guitars. Nurtured in the same fertile 70’s rock-rich soil that gave us Witchcraft and Graveyard comes Horisont (Swedish for horizon, if you hadn’t already guessed). They debuted in 2010 with Två Sidor Av Horisonten - or Two sides of (the) horizon for non-Swedish speakers, an album that impressed Rise Above Records so much that they simply had to add them to their roster. Rise Above main man Lee Dorrian invited them over to support Pentagram at their debut London show where Horisont’s rousing soul-drenched, powerhouse performance floored the sell-out crowd, leaving a palpable sense of anticipation for what must surely be one of the highlights of 2012.
Second Assault hails back to the point in the early 70s when Heavy Metal was just starting to be defined. This was a time when a Uli Jon Roth-led Scorpions and a fledgling Judas Priest were where fusing the colossal riffs of Black Sabbath, Zeppelin and Grand Funk to the soulful virtuosity of Hendrix, Deep Purple and Wishbone Ash. Horisont can be found proudly jamming at the point where flares and cheesecloth shirts gave way to denim and leather. A band is nothing without a killer rhythm section; in drummer Pontus they have a true disciple of the holy trinity - Bonham, Ward and Paice; partnered by 4-string monster Magnus who locks in like a veteran soul man. The twin lead attack of Kristofer and Charles lacks only surnames to be worthy of mention in the august company of Gorham/Robertson, Schenker/Roth or Turner/Powell. By turns both tastefully melodic and proudly bombastic, they play like masters yet are never self-indulgent or boring. In keeping with such a stellar band, frontman Axel delivers the sort of impassioned performance that would make his forbearers proud; veering from laidback and soulful to banshee wail, but always from the heart. But musical skills mean nothing without songs. Fear not, these are ten of the finest you could wish for. Irresistible grooves and hooks so catchy you’ll need innoculation just to be in the same town with them.
Opening with the driving Purple-esque grooves of Time Warrior then onto the mystical eastern melodies of Road To Cairo, Crusaders Of Death’s laid back melodies and bluesy sound bring to mind Wishbone Ash at their very best. There’s the rock ‘n’ roll soul of On The Run, the Hendrixy fuzz of the title track, and nods to Fleetwod Mac on Watch Them Die and Things I’ve Seen. Topped off with the Thin Lizzy raunch of closers Hard Bargain and Thunderfight, Second Assault crystallises all that was magical and exciting about heavy rock and early metal between 1969 and 1976. Utterly infectious, soulful and driving heavy rock for fans of the golden age, this is an album worthy of sitting alongside Taken By Force, Argus and Live & Dangerous. File under Damn, This Rocks!

LAST DAYS HERE, the new documentary from Don Argott and Demian Fenton (THE ART OF THE STEAL, ROCK SCHOOL), is a raw yet unexpectedly touching portrait of cult metal legend Bobby Liebling, chronicling his bid to resurrect his life and career after decades wasting away in his parents’ basement. Liebling made his mark in the ‘70s as the outrageous frontman of Pentagram, a “street” Black Sabbath whose heavy metal riffs once blew audiences’ minds. But various acts of self-destruction, multiple band break-ups and botched record deals eventually condemned his music to obscurity. Now in his 50's, wasted by hardcore drug use and living on the charity of his ever-patient mother and father (a former Nixon advisor), Bobby's music is finally discovered by the heavy metal underground. For over three years filmmakers (and metal musicians) Argott and Fenton are witnesses to his unbelievable journey, following the triumphs and downfalls of this underground icon at the crossroads of life and death.

RAMESSES: ‘Possessed By The Rise Of Magik’ LP – Ramflesh Remix
цитата:
Possessed By The Rise Of Magik LP – RamFlesh mix!!
We are bursting with grim joy to announce that Ritual have recruited the crushing skills and expertise of none other than Justin Broadrick (Godflesh/ Jesu /Greymachine / Final/JK Flesh) to mix Ramesses’ 2011 release ‘Possessed By The Rise Of Magik’ exclusively for this vinyl release!
Justin’s remixes enhance the audio with his uniquely dark and affecting musical perspective whilst maintaining the true essence of the original recordings. The way remixes should be. All in all, supremely magik.
Do we really need to say both Ritual Productions and Ramesses are extremely pleased with the result?
Release date to be announced in due course but all parts are already at pressing plant.
очень плохая новость что-то мне кажется, что виниловая версия выиграет у СД по звуку ежели Бродрик закинет побольше жирного маслеца в кашу

We would like to unveil the front cover art (designed by our own David Natkin) for our upcoming self-released debut LP "MASS DRIVER"! The album will be a limited pressing of only 250 records, hand-numbered and pressed on black 180-gram audiophile vinyl, in full-color jackets. Release date will be sometime this spring and of course we will keep everybody posted when the official release date is confirmed. Thanks everybody for your continued support
On April 10th (April 9th in Europe), we will be releasing our third LP, In Dreams and Time, on Tee Pee Records. The record incorporates elements of everything that we’ve come to feel that Ancestors is, as well as new things that we’ve never tried. We’re hoping that it will tie together fans of our previous albums Neptune With Fire, Of Sound Mind and Invisible White who may or may not have connected one release or the other, while hopefully helping us reach a new audience. We’re excited about it!
