Welcome to the official website of RAISER! |

 Looking for new Guitarist and Vocalist 1/Sept/2010 That's right! We're currently looking for: Either a guitarst and/or a vocalst, or a combi-pack of guitarist/vocalist. We play old school styled thrash with a touch of our own flavour. We practice once a week. Currently in Amsterdam, but relocation is possible. We are highly motivated and always write our own tunes. Got some of your own? Then you're more than welcome to help us in the writing process of our new album!Fast, heavy, sleazy, rough, we try to mix up everything and the diversity in our songs is what makes Raiser truly unique. We don't settle for anything average and always pursue perfect thrash metal combined with the old school melodies known from bands such as Metallica and Megadeth. So are you the ambitious singer and/or guitarist we are looking for? Want to jump in an adventure with us? Don't hestitate to contact us on info@raiserband.nl. We're very open minded so any type of talent is welcome! Stonehenge and MuzyQ 21/July/2010 On July 31 we will be playing at café De Zwetser for the afterparty of Stonehenge Festival, a greatly acclaimed metal festival in the city of Steenwijk. Beautiful story on how the Stonehenge festival came to what it is today by the way. Have a look on their website. Anyway, we will be celebrating with a lot of metal classics and covers for you to sing along with, so don't miss the party.In other news, we could have been playing on the stage of MuzyQ, Amsterdam. A band competition will take place on several fridays. Unfortunately we had to cancel the gig because of personal problems with one of the members. We hope they have another date in store for us. I'll keep you updated online. Band photos for reals! 26/June/2010 Check out the Press-page and take a look at our high quality band photos! It was pretty gloomy weather during the shoot, but that's what The Netherlands is famous for... Under a pale grey sky!The 19th of June we played in a venue called The Tumult in Abcoude. It was a big show with a total of four bands. We played last, but due to some technical difficulties we played later than expected. To those who were there; thanks for staying up late. For those who left; don't worry, you won't get off that easily! Next show is at the 3th of July in Lelystad. It's at a festival called Jolpop. See you there me hearties! Band photos! Introducing Michiel! 31/May/2010 Next sunday we will take some (hopefully) awesome kick-ass pictures. We hired a good friend, fellow metalhead and ex-musician Andre Seesink. I'm sure it will turn out perfect.This also gives us the opportunity to introduce you to our new guitarist Michiel. Check out his profile on the band-page. And stay tuned for some cool pictures. Raiser 1 year old! New guitarist! 18/May/2010 We found our new guitarist last saturday. Great! We will announce who it is in a short while. We're currently working on new material and updating our new guitarist with all of our songs. Unfortunately he won't be able to play with us on the 19th of June, so Remy will play the whole set with us.In other news; Raiser is now a year old! Our first practice with Vidal was on the 18th of May in 2009. Time really passes by quickly! But we hope for many years to follow! Cheers! Remy leaving Raiser 08/May/2010 Our guitarist Remy has decided to leave Raiser. This is mainly because of the difference in taste and style of our music. We've had lots of great times, from the crazy backyard party, straight through the binge drinking in Schijndel, to the laughs at the band competition in Amsterdam. So as a final cliché we wish Remy nothing but the best and we hope he can find a band that truly fits him. Come see him play with Raiser for one last time on the 19th of June in Abcoude, to give out your final salutations!What this means for us is that we're currently recruiting a new guitarist. Are you that shredding thrash-maniac that Raiser needs? Drop us an e-mail at info@raiserband.nl Compilation-boxset MakeMoreMusic 19/Apr/2010 DMI Records, the sponsor for the Make More Music bandcompetition has offered to create a compilation album with all the participating bands on it. It is a 6-cd box which can be ordered right here! The song featured on the box-set is The Beginning of the End.The end of the band competition 07/Apr/2010 Make More Music bandcompetition 2010 has ended for us in Heeren van Aemstel. We lost to a band called Two Way Radio, a hysterical group with 3 female vocalists. They definitely had their own thing going (a little too much if you ask me) but that's the way the cookie crumbles. Bands we enjoyed personally are The Q! and Alter Ego.The harsh, concluding words of the judge about the winners were "It was not hard for us, not hard at all. There was only one band who had rock 'n roll and only one band who had it all.". Some words to take home! We played one hell of a set but metal is not really at home at these competitions I guess. We had a great time nonetheless and would like to thank Make More Music for the great evening and the opportunity. Keep supporting guys, we'll be playing... Click here for all the old news... |
