Angel Rising

Angel Rising is a melodic death metal band created in 2018 by Listenangel. He was originally invested in his youtube channel « listenangel » born in 2010 and specialized in guitar shredding, virtuosos solos, tutorials and original instrumentals. Thanks to the success of the channel (more than one million views ) famous drummer Kevin Talley (who played for Dying Fetus, Suffocation and many more) contacted him and offered his services. It gave birth to the song « From the Grave To The Light », track 3 on the album. Between 2018 and 2020, Listenangel composed and recorded seven more tracks, playing all instruments and vocal parts with the help of two talented and experienced metal vocalists : Hermyth and M Fox. On april 18th Angel Rising’s first album was released. It is to be noted that this is not Listenangel’s first album, he was already lead guitarist and composer of the french heavy metal band « Blind roller » whom first album « God sun » was released in 1998 produced and distributed by the label Brennus Night and Day. The press reception was very positive at the time, « Hard Rock Magasine », number one paper magazine in France wrote about him that « his solos followed the steps of the greatest virtuosos ». After 10 years of existence and 100 shows in France the band split up and Listenangel focused on composing for his youtube channel. Since 2018, he gave all his musical energy in creating the sound of Angel Rising, a mixture of primal brutality and technical melodicity.
