Rise Above Records

Rise Above Records

Profile:
Rise Above Records was founded in 1988 by then Napalm Death vocalist Lee Dorrian . It was started as part of the Enterprise Allowance Scheme and its initial aim was to release a few very limited edition hardcore punk 7"s.

As time has moved on Rise Above Records nowadays releases an eclectic mix of underground rock from Doom Metal to Acid Folk and classic styled Progressive rock and Proto Metal. The prime motive of the label is to put out interesting releases by bands that they actually like!

Subsidiary label Rise Above Relics specialises in detailed reissues and unreleased recordings from the golden days of underground rock and folk music (late 60s/early 70s).

Rise Above Records main artists include Electric Wizard, Ghost, Witchcraft, Blood Ceremony as well as recent signings Uncle Acid & the Deabeats and Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell.

The label recently went independent in the USA and has an exclusive distribution deal through RED Distribution. Rise Above Records is also distributed in the UK and most of Europe via PHD. Most titles are licensed in Japan to Trooper Entertainment.

They have some great artists on their roster, but their limited edition are extremely expensive. Not on are they crazy expensive but then they press thousands more "limited" editions. Doesn't seem like they're really rising above anyone...
