New Wave of British Heavy Metal - The Next Generation
New Wave of British Heavy Metal - The Next Generation
The NWoBHM era was a golden age in British music. Bands like Iron Maiden, Saxon, Def Leppard, Tygers of Pan Tang, Diamond Head and Samson ruled the world.
We grew up with these guys, they taught us to play, they taught us to write music.
MORPHEUS RISING takes all the best bits of NWoBHM - twin guitars and soaring vocals; adds a splash of extra ingredients such as the darker edge of Goth bands like The Cult and The Mission; the raw energy of Classic Rock icons like Led Zeppelin and AC/DC; plus just a twist of more melodic acts such as Marillion and Magnum.
The tracks on this page are a taste of work in progress rather than the finished product, but we couldn't resist offering a little preview of forthcoming material just to whet your appetite!
If you love your music live, aggressive and broody, add us to your friends and keep in touch!

Hello Morpheus Rising, Thank you to accept me in your friends. I discovered your music and to recently like your music. I like the five titles on your reader. Two preferences for "In The End" and "Those Who Watch", good music and voice but also the guitar. I will return because I like… Thank a lot. Have a excellent weekend with you five...sunny. Greeting from France. Freddy.
Salve Grae! Thanks for the quick replies and info. And you should find a LOT of kindred spirits on Sacred Metal - the best forum anywhere for us incurably archaic geezers who still like that dated stuff with melodies and real singers. Did I mention that I am SO looking forward to that Morpheus Rising demo? Well, one mo' time won't do any harm... Cheers to ye olde York,
