THE RISEN DREAD are a Death/Groove metal band from Ireland with some members coming from Brazil. Ever since they burst onto the scene here in Ireland they have taken the place by storm and are quickly rising to become one of the biggest acts in metal in Ireland. 2019 saw the release of their debut E.P, "Delusions", which garnered rave reviews from everywhere including ourselves here at Metal-Temple who gave the E.P 7 out of 10. As a live act they have been described as a force to be reckoned with by commanding the stage with their presence with the crowd just eating it all up, and even got through to the semi-finals of the Metal to the Masses competition (which was then cancelled due to Covid-19). THE RISEN DREAD are made up of Marco (vocals), Will (guitar), Mat (bass), Colum (drums) and new member Niall (guitar). 2020 was set to be a big year for them with a European tour which unfortunately got cancelled due the Covid-19 pandemic. But like mentioned before they got a new member joining the band and signed a record deal with Wormhole Death Records with a full length album currently being worked on and to be released sometime in 2021. These guys are seriously ones to watch and big things are coming their way. Metal Temple writer John Foley recently had a chance to interview the band. So let's jump right into the chat!
