Bio
Formed mid 2008 Morpheus Rising are a 5 piece rock band with a distinct twin guitar sound reminiscent of the heady days of NWoBHM.
The combination of that guitar sound, the driving rhythms and the powerful lyrics set them apart from other bands who play twin guitar rock. Adding elements of the darker side of rock including Goth, Thrash and Alternative rock acts like Metallica, The Mission and Alter Bridge means that the sound is contemporary while staying true to the influences of the likes of Iron Maiden and Thin Lizzy.
Having released a charity single late in 2008 on aid of HELP for HEROES the band finshed the year with their initial commercial release of The Original Demos 2008 at download sites such as iTunes, Rhapsody and Napster.
With gigs planned for the first half of 2009, the band are preparing themselves for a possible appearance at an event at Wembley Arena later in the year.
About
The NWoBHM era was a golden age in British music. Bands like Iron Maiden, Saxon, Def Leppard, Tygers of Pan Tang, Diamond Head and Samson ruled the world.
We grew up with these guys, they taught us to play, they taught us to write music.
MORPHEUS RISING takes all the best bits of NWoBHM - twin guitars and soaring vocals; adds a splash of extra ingredients such as the darker edge of Goth bands like The Cult and The Mission; the raw energy of Classic Rock icons like Led Zeppelin and AC/DC; plus just a twist of more melodic acts such as Marillion and Magnum.
The tracks on this page are a taste of work in progress rather than the finished product, but we couldn't resist offering a little preview of forthcoming material just to whet your appetite!
If you love your music live, aggressive and broody, add us to your friends and keep in touch!
All the best,
Grae, Pete, Daymo, Andy and Gibbo |
