Hostile Rising
The Band.
Hostile rising are one of those bands that are best enjoyed loud. I would advise anybody out there to turn your speakers up before you press play on any of the following tracks.
Hostile Rising formed in 2008 in Leeds and quickly rose to the top of the local music scene. Hostile Rising will be playing this years Bloodstock festival with bands like Motorhead and Rhapsody of Fire.
Rob Littlemore - vocals
The demos and E.P kicks-ass with driving guitars and mental drums, the whole unit seems completely manic some of the best guitar solos that local music has to offer, as guitarist Kenneth Belsham kindly demonstrates in this video. The audio quality isn't great but it gets to a point that it doesn't really matter. If you are in to metal guitar you have to check this out....
Hostile Rising's latest self titled E.P is guaranteed to make even the most soft-hearted of you out there to head bang a little. It carries with it every thing a person could want from a metal band. Distorted and thrashing Guitars, complex, pounding drums and passionate, screaming vocals. If you are wondering what that might sound like, its kind of like this....
Hostile Rising - Impropaganda
Impropaganda, the title track from Hostile Risings latest E.P is brilliantly composed and put together, the highlight kicks in at around 2.10, when guitar and drums kick in simultaneously to create an epic moment of tension and release.
Hostile Rising - City Upon A Hill
City upon A Hill is great song, but the highlight is the vocals, both gritty and unrelenting. This is how metal should be done.
Kenneth Belsham and Robert Burns
As good as the tracks are Hostile Rising are best as a live band. The band are self-professed gig lovers, and from there youtube page its not hard to see why. as much as metal is about distortion and drums, it is essentially a performance art, and these guys have got it down.
