Description:
Horror heavy metal band Ripper from Houston split up in 1990 butreformed in 2005. The return album The Dead Have Rizen is the longawaited sequel to 1986s And The Dead Shall Rise. The story picks upwhere it abruptly left off many moons ago, with guitarist RobGraves wasting no time forming the quartet after learning that theoriginal members were not available. The carefully handpickedplayers include shredder guitarist and Grammy Award nominee StephenBogle (The Hunger), who also produced this slab of death at TechSynStudios in Houston, bludgeoning bassist Alan D´Angelo (Livesay),and destructo drummer Don Ramirez (Tokyo). Together, they pound outan offering of macabre heavy metal that is nothing short of worldclass. The thick, rich, and shattering clean production, coupledwith excellent songs and Graves vicious tone, bring on the hauntingmetal power in spades, as odes to homicidal muscle cars, serialkillers, seductive vampires, and masochistic lunatics pile-drivetheir way into your head like a 747. The horror-metal tonnage anddead on vocals on this album are eerie and mind-blowing. Take youon a cinematic journey inside the head of Graves and company thatwill have you listening to this album again and again with morbiddelight. You called, they answered, now reap the winds of death.The dead have indeed risen Ripper lives!
