Godless Rising

**Godless Rising** is a no-holds-barred death metal act hailing from Connecticut, formed in the early 2000s by vocalist/bassist Vincent Crowley, best known for his work with the legendary black/death metal band Acheron. With a sound rooted in old-school brutality, Godless Rising carved their niche by blending relentless riffage, guttural vocals, and themes steeped in anti-religious and Satanic imagery. Their music appeals to fans of unfiltered, raw death metal, channeling the genre’s early ‘90s spirit with a merciless modern edge.

Notable releases like *Rising Hatred* (2006) and *Trumpet of Triumph* (2008) solidified their reputation in the underground, delivering pummeling tracks like *Battle Lords* that showcase their unapologetic aggression. Though lineup shifts and hiatuses have marked their journey, Godless Rising remains a cult favorite for those craving uncompromising metal chaos. Crowley’s dual role as a veteran of the extreme metal scene adds a layer of authenticity to their hell-raising anthems.
