Prepare for a sonic onslaught as RISING INSANE returns, melding crushing riffs with melodic finesse.

RISING INSANE are revving their engines and barreling into the metal scene with their latest offering, 'DEATHRACE'. This record marks a pivotal evolution for the band, as they delve deeper into their heavier instincts while maintaining the melodic hooks that have garnered them a diverse following. With a fierce commitment to innovation, they emerge from the shadows of familiarity, ready to lay waste to the complacency of the past.

Listeners will undoubtedly draw comparisons to titans like ARCHITECTS, WHILE SHE SLEEPS, and FIT FOR A KING. RISING INSANE captures the crushing riffs of ARCHITECTS, intertwined with the energizing metalcore vitality of WHILE SHE SLEEPS, and the modern heaviness of FIT FOR A KING. Yet, they transcend mere imitation, crafting an identity that is distinctly their own.

The real triumph of 'DEATHRACE' lies in its relentless momentum. This is not an album for the faint of heart; it pushes boundaries with raw energy and punishing riffs that create an urgent listening experience. Standout track “GOOD ENOUGH,” featuring the formidable talents of CASKETS, has already amassed over a million streams upon release, showcasing the band’s ability to blend accessibility with their signature heavy sound.

Darker themes emerge in “ERROR,” showcasing a collaboration with Steven Jones of BLEED FROM WITHIN. This track represents a more mature side of RISING INSANE, with Jones not only lending his vocal prowess but also co-producing the record, further tightening the bond between the band’s evolving sound and the heavier influences they embrace.

The album isn't just a showcase of RISING INSANE's prowess but also a platform for guest appearances that add depth and personality. With contributions from ACCVSED and David Schneider of THE BUTCHER SISTERS, 'DEATHRACE' is peppered with a rich tapestry of talent that enhances the band's cohesive sound without overshadowing their own distinct identity.

Notably, RISING INSANE's viral cover of THE WEEKND's “BLINDING LIGHTS” catapulted them into the spotlight, proving they can connect with audiences beyond the metal realm. This wider appeal is a testament to their versatility and willingness to push boundaries, making them a standout force in today’s music scene. As 'DEATHRACE' roars into existence, it’s clear that RISING INSANE are not just here to play; they’re here to dominate, evolve, and leave a lasting impact.
