| MORPHEUS RISING ...resurrecting British Heavy Metal! Check out the official MORPHEUS RISING website: www.morpheusrising.co.uk New Wave of British Heavy Metal - The Next Generation The NWoBHM era was a golden age in British music. Bands like Iron Maiden, Saxon, Def Leppard, Tygers of Pan Tang, Diamond Head and Samson ruled the world. We grew up with these guys, they taught us to play, they taught us to write music. MORPHEUS RISING takes all the best bits of NWoBHM - twin guitars and soaring vocals; adds a splash of extra ingredients such as the darker edge of Goth bands like The Cult and The Mission; the raw energy of Classic Rock icons like Led Zeppelin and AC/DC; plus just a twist of more melodic acts such as Marillion and Magnum. The tracks on this page are a taste of work in progress rather than the finished product, but we couldn't resist offering a little preview of forthcoming material just to whet your appetite! If you love your music live, aggressive and broody, add us to your friends and keep in touch! View all Morpheus Rising tour dates |
