May 25, 2022
PRESS RELEASE 12-17-2021
A Rising Force is an all-original Minnesota rock act
that announce they have signed a new two album deal with
Dark Star Records/Sony/Universal, and will re-release
their first album, Undertow, on February 18.
The third single, for the title track "Undertow", is out
now, with a brand
new music video
that has a memorial to their late record company
President and friend, Bill Chavis.
"We were incredibly excited to be a part of the Dark
Star/Sony/Universal family. There were three labels
interested in picking the band up after the untimely
passing of Bill and Lori Chavis from HighVolMusic. After
navigating the legal challenges and getting an artist
release from our current contract, we settled on the
label we felt that would best serve the band. We are
looking forward to our future relationship, and getting
out on the road to promote our new music” - Leni
DiMancari, Guitarist
"Undertow is the title track and name of their latest
release, and this song has it all, awesome drum and bass
grooves, killer guitar riffs, double harmony guitar
leads, hard rock vocals and even chants "Hey" "Hey"
yeah, this song just rocks, hands down." - Jeffrey A.
Swanson / President of Dark Star Records
A Rising Force signed their initial record deal with
HighVolMusic in December of 2020 in the middle of a
pandemic. The band collectively have had multiple albums
released over the years, MMA nominations & awards, and
national and international touring backgrounds. Their
debut CD Undertow was originally released in May of
2021, and spawned three singles including "Love And
War", "Crushed", and "Yesterdaze Hell".
Over 2021, the band has performed to over 20 thousand
fans and sold out of the first pressing of the album
Undertow. Guitarist Leni DiMancari became part of the
ESP artist roster, and bassist Brian Lorenson became
endorsed by DNA bass amps.
Both “Crushed” and “Yesterdaze Hell” from the album
reached the 97 Underground top ten, charting at #2 and
#5 for the entire month of August. Unfortunately, the
untimely death of their record company President and
Vice President Bill and Lori Chavis to Covid-19 put the
release of their next single and video for the title
track “Undertow” and the band's future on hold, forcing
the band to navigate through the legal challenges of
retaining full ownership of their assets and rights to
their music back.
They are currently in pre-production for their next
studio album, to be released in the late spring of 2022.
The music is guitar-driven commercial hard rock combined
with 4-part harmonies, and all fronted by an arena rock
lead vocalist.
