Holy Mother - 'Down' (official music video)

Rise, Rise, Rise

Your town puts fear inside your mind
Your mind, it fears what’s left behind
Afraid of dying in the hole
I hear you, I feel denial
I hear you, I feel denied

Don’t harbor thoughts of suicide,
Don’t lose your will to be alive
Just like your City, you’ll survive

Into your eyes your mind fades and I say
Rise, Everybody must Rise
Rise, Motherfucker let’s Rise

Everybody must stand for your life
Everybody must live to die

Walk with me alone in my city
Grab my hands, you’ll understand
Follow me we’ll make it “our” city
Follow me through the land of the Damned
Step inside, there’s freedom from this life,
There’s freedom to escape
Do me wanna escape
Come inside there’s freedom from this life

Rise! Push your way through shadows and the cold
Prove it to the ones who call you friend
You own these tracks until the day that you die, you die
You are the fear that the stranger keeps inside

Into your eyes your mind fades
Into your eyes your mind fades
But I say this town is so much more than you
Your life was never meant to choose
It’s godless, gutless, we will thrive
I’m gonna die

Rise, Rise up - Rise, Rise up
Rise, Rise up - Rise, Rise up
I hear you, Rise
I follow rainbows, but they lead to fallen dreams
I followed you, but you let me down
When I left this city, I knew that you would survive
But I still can’t believe that you’re alive

This town puts fear inside your mind
Your mind, it fears what’s left behind
Afraid of dying in the hole

Rise, Rise, Rise, Rise, Rise, Rise, Rise up! Rise!

Οι Holy Mother δημιουργήθηκαν στα μέσα της δεκαετίας του ενενήντα και κυκλοφόρησαν έξι full length albums στην οκταετία από το 1995 έως το 2003. 17 χρόνια μετά, το 2020, το Αμερικάνικο συγκρότημα επαναδραστηριοποιήθηκε (παρότι τυπικά δεν είχε διαλυθεί ποτέ).

Δισκογραφικός καρπός της επαναδραστηριοποίησής τους ήταν ο "ολοκληρωμένος" δίσκος (μετά από 18 χρόνια) "Face This Burn" που κυκλοφόρησε στις αρχές του επομένου έτους (2021). Πέρυσι κυκλοφόρησε (και) ο διάδοχός του υπό τον τίτλο "Rise"...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Holy Mother presents the follow-up to "Face This Burn" and their overall seventh studio album: "Rise"! A career that spans from the 1990's until the present day, Holy Mother has delivered some of the most blistering American, fist-pumping music of their genre and pulls no punches with its heaviest and most powerful release to date.

Anthems like "Rise", "Power", "Fire", "Rain" "Jeremiah", and "Hex" will have you banging your head and stomping your feet, and the classic "Live To Die" from the critically acclaimed "Toxic Rain" album of Holy Mother's past is brought to new life, channeling the spirit of the late, great Holy Mother co-founder Randy Coven.

This album will melt your face, compel you to raise your fists and rebel and as Holy Mother intend to lead the force of Metal followers to their destiny with the driving force of the amazing Ronnie James Dio-style vocals of Mike Tirelli, the blistering shredding of the young guitar prodigy Mickey Lyxx, the pounding in-your-face drumming of powerhouse James Harris, and the blazing bass of the Brit, Wayne Banks.

Don't be left in the dust! Pick up Holy Mother's "Rise" and join the rest of the Metal generation in the rise of Holy Mother!»
