Rising

Get ready to feel the Rising. This powerful reissue of Stuck Mojo's third album brings back one of the heaviest rap-metal releases ever. Originally released in 1998 on Century Media Records, Rising showcases the Atlanta-based band's unmistakable blend of ultra-heavy, down-tuned guitars, Bonz's hardcore rapping, and the relentless screams of guitarist Rich Ward (FOZZY). As a Brutal Planet Records Metal Icon Series reissue, this album now boasts a fresh remaster by Rob Colwell, with a 12-page booklet featuring lyrics, band photos, and more.Rising is an album that truly took rap metal to new heights, mixing the brutal grooves of Machine Head, Slayer and Pantera with the defiance of Rage Against the Machine. Each track hits hard, with thick, groove-laden riffs that support Bonz's intense vocal delivery as he rants and rails without pause. This release includes the bonus track "Suburban Ranger," adding an extra layer of grit to an already aggressive album.Not only did Rising capture attention for it's unfiltered sound, but it also made waves on the mainstream with the music video for the track "Rising." Featuring appearances by WCW wrestling legends Diamond Dallas Page, Raven, and The Flock, the video received heavy airplay and became a staple on WCW Monday Nitro. With the WCW United States Championship belt featured on the cover, this album became an icon in the rap-metal scene, selling over 3 million copies and securing it's place as one of Century Media's best-selling albums.
