Rise Above Dead

Rise Above Dead were formed in 2009 in Milan. when they started cutting their first home-recorded demos. The 2010 debut Human Disintegration was self released in june 2010 on vinyl only. The music was complimented by the visual darkness captured on a superlative artwork done by californian artist Justin Bartlett (www.vberkvlt.com). After the release of Human Disintegration, the band played almost 100 gigs between Italy and Europe. The band followed their debut with Stellar Filth, engineered by Ufomammut and Lento’s soundman Lorenzo Stecconi and released in june 2012 on Moment Of Collapse (DE) / Shove records (IT). The record got great feedbacks from the international press and it has often been compared to the early works of the bands Isis, Cult Of Luna and Neurosis. Following the release of Stellar Filth, Rise Above Dead shared stages with several bands like Voivod, Napalm Death, Eyehategod, Kylesa, Russian Cirlces, Ulver, Black Breath, Amenra, Pelican, Envy, Tombs, Darkest Hour and more… In Spring 2014, singer Andrea Rondanini left the band for personal reasons and the rest of the members decided to keep going as an instrumental four-piece. Rise Above Dead began recording again in july 2014. The new album Heavy Gravity, engineered by Riccardo “Paso” Pasini, will be released on vinyl in february 2015 through Moment Of Collapse / Shove records.
