DECIBEL gave it an 8 out of 10, and just recently PITCHFORK rated the album 7.6 out of 10 and wrote: “They’ve found multiple ways to come off expansive and compelling within a tight, traditional framework…They simply know how to write great riffs.”

Also the American metal/rock blog THE OBELISK is still streaming the album in it’s entirety right here

“To Solemn Ash” is produced by new producer talent Jakob Reichert Nielsen, mastered by Alan Douches (Converge, Mastodon, High on Fire a.o.), and the album features the iconic artwork of Danish artist and music video director Jakob Printzlau aka Plastic Kid (Lack, Volbeat, Bring Me The Horizon a.o.).

To Solemn Ash will be available in a 4-panel digifile CD, gatefold 180-gram LP and digital download.

“…Rising have a knack for huge, blustery sludge anthems…” – Pitchfork

“…tracks that sound like they’re going to implode in a mess of smoldering tar, cracked horse hooves, bong glass shards, transmission pieces from a 1971 Corvette Stingray and flaming lumberjack axes… 8/10″ – Decibel

“The band tempers the heft and brutality of sludge and doom with enough trad-metal finesse to render an exceptionally listenable record that still hits hard.” – MetalReview

“The band knows how to put rocking, heavy-ass tunes together, tunes that flow like a river of molten lead.” – Doommantia

“…these guys expertly blend vintage metal with sludge to create both the typical down-in-the-muck feel and headbanging grooves.” – Popdose

“Moving from menacing to melodic in the space of minutes, the band are clearly competent at their sound…” – Metal Reviews
