Enter Now to Win Rising’s To Solemn Ash CD From Exile on Mainstream!
[NOTE: This giveaway is now over. Thanks to everyone who entered.]
You might recall a couple weeks ago when I posted the stream of Danish metallers Rising‘s debut full-length, To Solemn Ash, in its entirety. Well, the album got a pretty killer response from people saying they dug it, so I beat down the doors at Exile on Mainstream and begged for some copies to give away.
Lo and behold, sitting on my desk right now are a whopping FIVE digipak CDs, just waiting to go out the door. If you want one — and I think you do — just leave a comment to this post.
Now, if you’re wondering where the entry form is that I used for the last few times, I’ve spent this whole week deleting an onslaught of spam from the King Giant contest. Safe to say the robots know we’re here. So in an effort to avoid some of that, Slevin suggested comments instead.
You don’t have to say much of anything in the comment, just make sure your email is included with your name so I have a way to tell you you’ve won. If you want to leave your address there, you can, but if you’re iffy about it, that’s fine too. Doesn’t affect me picking the winner either way.
And if you need an immediate refresher course as to Rising‘s potent blend of heavy riffs and melodies, I’ll kindly refer you to the Bandcamp player below:
Winners will be picked next Wednesday, Feb. 15. Happy commenting, and thanks to Rising, Earsplit PR and Exile on Mainstream for making this happen. To Solemn Ash is available now. For more info, check out Rising‘s website or the label’s website.

This band sounds great. I would love to get one of those cds if you still have one available. please email me to let me know what to do next. thanks for the great blog man I have really enjoyed ready it when I get a chance.
this album sounds tiiiiiiiiiiiight as fuuuuuuuuck.
sign me up!
This album would sound insane CRANKED RIGHT UP here in the Great White North. I’d be honored to win Rising’s “To Solemn Ash.”
Cheers!
Never heard the band, but willing to give them a shot for a freebie! Thanks for running the contest!
dig the Big Business-y vocals! i think i need this album to power me through the mountain of homework in front of me… THESE RIFFS GET SHIT DONE!!!
I’ve been listening to this over at bandcamp ever since you posted about them!
this is killer, would love to hear this ripping out of a real stereo!
This band is awesome! I hope I win a CD so I don’t have to listen to them using my crappy laptop speakers.
I was pretty impressed when you posted the album in it’s entirety. I really love the tone they achieved in the guitars and the voice it’s great. This might sound weird but I think they have a little bit of Mastodon to themselves, actually I think they kind of make the album that Mastodon didn’t make after Blood Mountain, it’s not that I don´t like Crack The Skye, but this band just filled a gap in my imaginary progression of heavy rock, as if I their sonic assault it’s what I was missing. Anyway thanks for sharing at the info, I’ll try to get if you don’t have any more to give away.
Proud to be a fellow Dane when music of the quality comes out of our small country!
This album is truly amazing!!
Discovered Rising at Roskilde Festival 2 years ago, bought their EP and 7″ on vinyl and CD. Just haven’t bought this one yet!
Just (legally) downloaded the album, it rocks!
Rising’s “To solemn ash” CD definitely needs to be played cold out of the fridge, because it is so hot, that it needs to be stored in the refridgerator. Once you’ve played it, you’ve got to put it back into the icebox, otherwise it melts away. Absolutely ear-crushing, what these guys are doing on their release. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggghh !
This is a great album and just gets better and better. Thanks for streaming it!
When I discovered Rising I dug so much “To Solemn Ash”!! I started to look for their album in my local music stores, but they didn’t have it :( it was nowhere to be found here, so i think this is a great oportunity for me to have their material! I’d be really honored to have it! :)
Way? to go free! sound fucking GREAT heavy. Amazing sound. Can’t wait for this.
Another fine release for the year and all I can think about is where the hell is the new Colour Haze.
These guys crack open your beer and then kick your ass!! already own the album digitally (itunes). bought it as soon as you streamed their stuff. but a hard copy would be dynatastic. Now i blast it as i board down the local hill. Good, hard riffs, super groovy. Rising is rising on my year end list (which is one album strong thus far).
Recent discover, this guy are absolutely amazing!
Love what I’ve heard from these guys, would love to check this out!
