Soar on the wings of RISE’s uplifting, powerful alt rock track, ‘Always’!
RISE is a 4-piece group from Liverpool that is well known for delivering high-octane performances and boasts a signature prog rock sound built upon electrifying synths and guitar, euphoric hooks and blazing rock rhythms. If you’ve been feeling blue and alone lately, their latest release, ‘Always’ ft. stayMellow, is sure to ignite hope and drive away negativity!
Without a moment’s waste, ‘Always’ opens onto thrilling rock arrangements. Crashing drums and stirring riffs make you sit and take notice immediately. A moment’s pause and we launch into the opening verse with Sam Kinley’s (aka stayMellow) commanding vocals roaring his loyalty, ‘You call out, Im there, Always!’
The lyrics convey a simple but powerful sentiment. Be there for the people who matter, unconditionally, no matter the time or the place. In these times of uncertainity and doubt, when the world feels heavy and cruel, this message shines through like a ray on a gloomy day. Reminding us of the innate meaning of being human, to care for one another and, in return, be cared for, Always!
For such a strong, clear emotional core, ‘Always’ rides strong upon dynamic, intelligent prog rock arrangements. The intensity of the vocals is matched and supported by the instruments so well. The first half of the track blazes through without any refrain.
Its only around the 2.30 mark that we experience the track flowing into a soothing synth-laden section. Suddenly, the track feels ethereal before the thunderous arrangements build to a crescendo. Dropping into an electrifying solo and a strong conclusion, ‘Always’ has you in its vibrant rock embrace from start to finish!
Stay tuned; RISE continues to captivate with their high-energy rock and unforgettable melodies.
