Morpheus Rising are the latest band in the “scene” to sign a record deal with US Label Melodic Revolution Records. As stated in their press release:
Melodic Revolution Records is proud to announce the signing of British Hard Rock Act Morpheus Rising.
Morpheus Rising is a five piece hard ‘n’ heavy British rock band formed in 2008. The band is heavily influenced by their peers; Saxon, UFO, Thin Lizzy and Iron Maiden. Morpheus Rising has forged a reputation for their stage shows and music by incorporating precision twin guitars, power chords and fast guitar solos, upbeat tempos, soaring melodic vocals, rounded out by a tight rhythm section. The band has incorporated many elements of the NWOBHM bands of the late 70’s and early 80’s which set the standards and made these bands famous.
As the band say in their own announcement.
Based in Orlando, Florida, Melodic Revolution Records has a great roster of acts from across America, Europe and the UK. We’re very excited to be part of this family of creative, like minded people, artists and bands and looking forward to working with Nick Katona and MRR who will be fighting our corner in the USA. We’re already making plans with them for the new album which we also hope to announce very soon. Don’t worry, we’re not selling out, we are still in complete control – nothing has changed creatively!
Exciting times, and with a promise that they won’t start sounding like Nickleback. Interesting that they’re signing to a US label, though.
