With melodic harmonizing guitars, catchy choruses, in your face riffs, explosive double bass, and a pounding low end bass guitar, The Texas Christian Metal/Hard Rock outfit Arisen has it all. Originating in New Braunfels, Texas, the band has played shows at Harmony Sweet in New Braunfels, Texas, and also The White Rabbit in San Antonio, Texas. Long time friends Jonathan Norris(guitar), and Cameron Huser(Bass) set out look for prospective members in the summer of 2011. Not too much later, the two recruited Alejandro Guerra on drums in August, and two months later found the longtime awaited vocalist, Jeremy Landry. Sharing the same Christian beliefs as one another, they decided to come up with a name that would represent their love for Christ, and chose to use scripture to come up with a name idea. (1 Corinthians 15:12-22) is the story of the resurrection of Christ from the dead, and from that scripture, we get that Christ has "Arisen", and that is where it all began. Arisen has released a self-produced demo for promotion. An EP to be released in April of 2012. Arisen will be playing shows to promote their upcoming EP all across Texas, so keep your eyes and ears open, Arisen is back on the scene....(read interview)
