EMI are proud to announce the release of Rise To Remain’s debut album. The highly acclaimed young British metal band will release ‘City Of Vultures’ on September 5th before setting out on their first headline tour of the UK, playing 19 dates in total.
’City Of Vultures’ was recorded at Tree House Studios in Chesterfield in late 2010 and produced by Carl Bown and legendary metal producer Colin Richardson who is renowned for his work with Slipknot, Machine Head, Bullet For My Valentine, Cradle Of Filth, Trivium and many more.
A dramatic, blistering, melodic and hugely ambitious album, ‘City Of Vultures’ is the sound of one of the most exciting new bands in Britain not only delivering on their early promise but setting the benchmark for all their peers to follow.
From the brutal roar of ‘The Serpent’ and the guttural blast of the title track, through the hook-laden anthems of ‘This Day Is Mine’, ‘Talking In Whispers’ and ‘Power Through Fear’ to the widescreen melodies of ‘Roads’ and the fan-favourite stomp of current single ‘Nothing Left’, this is an album of breath-taking scope, driven along by virtuoso performances from all five members.
The album finishes with a brilliant re-recording of the lead track from their 2010 EP, ‘Bridges Will Burn’, which saw them winning the Best New Band Award at both the Kerrang and Metal Hammer awards last year.
Rise To Remain were one of the stand-out bands at the recent Download Festival and their appearance at Sonisphere next month will be another festival highlight. The band embark on their debut headline tour theweek of album release.

I'm a self-confessed musical nut with an eclectic taste ranging from lo-fi indie to crushing heavy metal. I also make a blizzard of noise in my band Final Coil (recently seen deafening audiences in the midlands area). I also like cheese. Cheese is possibly the single greatest food (if one excludes bacon). Sometimes I write songs about cheese... but not often
