Created on the streets of London in 2008, Rise To Remain, a five piece metal band storming from the heart of the UK, have begun to make their mark. Having toured with bands such as Trivium, Five Finger Death Punch, Shadows Fall, The Haunted and played festivals such as Download and Sonisphere, the band are no strangers to the live circuit.

After forming out of the ashes of former projects and gaining a fanbase through their DIY touring schedule, the band's first official live outing as "Rise To Remain" was Download Festival '08, where they opened the third stage. Citing influences from all corners of the metal spectrum, the band play their own brand of melodic metal with tinges of thrash and rock.

After spending September-October 2009 in the studio with Justin Hill and Dan Weller of WellerHill productions, the band have emerged with their debut release showcasing their multi-textured sound, a mini-album due to be released in 2010.
