On July 3, Cleopatra Records will release the fifth studio record from Pittsburgh, PA-based melodic metallers Icarus Witch. RISE is a twelve-track album, and here’s what bassist Jason Myers has to say about it:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOn RISE, all restrictions of what we could or could not do were removed. The result is a completely fresh approach, new territory being explored, more diversity, better energy, by far the biggest progression in songwriting in the band\u2019s history. This album took courage to create. We certainly didn\u2019t take the safe or expected route and know that we\u2019re rolling the dice with some bold moves.\u201d Continues Tom Wierzbicky, \u201cThis was a very unique album that we put together. There were times where you would be pulling from the other side of the spectrum, sometimes taking yourself out of your comfort zone.\u201d<\/p>\n

In August, the band launches a tour with Earache Records\u2019 White Wizzard and Pure Steel artist Widow.<\/p>\n
