Prepare for a Mind-Blowing Musical Odyssey: Angel Rising signs with Wormholedeath, Unveils “Afterlife” Album Cover, and Releases Teaser of First Single
Progressive Death Metal project Angel Rising has officially signed a deal with renowned international label Wormholedeath for the release of their highly anticipated third album, titled “Afterlife.”
Drawing inspiration from old-school thrash and death metal, Angel Rising carves their sonic path with influences from titans such as Sepultura, Metallica, and Death. But make no mistake — this is not a mere homage. Angel Rising forges a distinctive sound, fusing the raw energy of primal brutality with daring virtuosity and an unparalleled sense of storytelling, propelling them to the forefront of the metal landscape.
Angel Rising is immensely proud to join forces with Wormholedeath for the release of “Afterlife” in September 2023. This new opus is set to establish Angel Rising among the best in the genre. The concept album Afterlife depicts an interdimensional being that stalks life in our universe because it represents a threat to existence itself. And the human species, or at least what it has become after the events described in the previous creations of Angel Rising, is now its target. The album cover showcases the hero, Asai, engaged in a battle against a horde of undead, unaware of the greater danger lurking ahead.
