THE RISING’s debut Maverick / Reprise album, FUTURE UNKNOWN, is due to be released October 14, 2003.
Here’s some early critical praise:
The
Rising's debut CD, Future Unknown is flat-out one of the best of
the year. We've covered over 400 bands in the past nine months and without
a doubt in my mind - these guys are going to be rising to the top.
- Steven Ridenour, CEO Orlando Florida Guide
“Arena rock isn't dead - it's only been cooking in the musical cauldrons of bands such as Atlanta unit The Rising. On the band's Maverick Records debut FUTURE UNKNOWN, The Rising layers thick slabs of rock guitar goodness with singer Michael Lee's impassioned vocals. The band doesn't sacrifice melody for bombast, and songs are textured works of the heart brimming with irresistible hooks.”

“Lead vocalist and songwriter, Michael Lee has stated ‘I like the kind of music where you’re driving down the road just staring into oblivion because you’re totally swept up by the song. That’s the kind of music I want to write- something that puts you into a trance.’ That is exactly what I believe he has accomplished. The music is made with great melodies and complimenting harmonies that just seem to make the whole record.”
