Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating as a loose concept album focusing on an American teenager's struggles with faith and global tragedies, 'Rise' is a massive, arena-ready hard rock record. The Christian quartet layers their driving post-grunge riffs with sweeping orchestral elements, synthesizers, and the soaring dual vocals of John Cooper and Jen Ledger. It achieved enormous mainstream rock success, debuting at number four on the Billboard 200.
