MINNEAPOLIS, MN (December 20, 2021) -- ‘A
RISING FORCE’ is an all-original Minnesota rock act that announce they
have signed a new 2 album deal with Dark Star Records/SONY/Universal and
will re-release their first album “Undertow” on February 18, 2022. The
third single for the title track "Undertow" was released on December
17th, with a brand new music video that has a memorial to their late
record company President and friend Bill Chavis and can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAJtdQp_PHE "We
were incredibly excited to be a part of the Dark Star/SONY/Universal
family. There were 3 labels interested in picking the band up after the
untimely passing of Bill and Lori Chavis from HighVolMusic. After
navigating the legal challenges and getting an artist release from our
current contract, we settled on the label we felt that would best serve
the band. We are looking forward to our future relationship, and getting
out on the road to promote our new music” -- Leni DiMancari, Guitarist Undertow
is the title track and name of their latest release, and this song has
it all, awesome drum and bass grooves, killer guitar riffs, double
harmony guitar leads, hard rock vocals and even chants "Hey" "Hey" yeah,
this song just rocks, hands down. -- Jeffrey A. Swanson / President of
Dark Star Records ‘A
RISING FORCE’ signed their initial record deal with HighVolMusic in
December of 2020 in the middle of a pandemic. The band collectively have
had multiple albums released over the years, MMA nominations &
awards, and national and international touring backgrounds. Their debut
CD ‘Undertow’ was originally released in May of 2021, and spawned 3
singles including ‘Love and War’, “Crushed” and “Yesterdaze Hell”.
Over
2021, the band has performed to over 20 thousand fans and sold out of
the first pressing of the album Undertow. Guitarist Leni DiMancari
became part of the ESP artist roster, and bassist Brian Lorenson became
endorsed by DNA bass amps.
Both
“Crushed” and “Yesterdaze Hell” from the album reached the 97
Underground top ten, charting at #2 and #5 for the entire month of
August. Unfortunately, the untimely death of their record company
President and Vice President Bill and Lori Chavis to Covid 19 put the
release of their next single and video for the title track “Undertow”
and the band's future on hold, forcing the band to navigate through the
legal challenges of retaining full ownership of their assets and rights
to their music back. They
are currently in pre-production for their next studio Album to be
released in the late Spring of 2022. The music is guitar-driven
commercial hard rock combined with 4-part harmonies, and all fronted by
an arena rock lead vocalist. A Rising Force Mark Westlund- Lead Vocals, Guitars
