"The rest of the scene can brace themselves..."

Zware Metalen

"We place Arising Rebellion in the groove metal box, with clear influences from bands like Machine Head, Pantera, DevilDriver, and Lamb of God. A pinch of metalcore and a dash of thrash completes it... The rest of the scene can brace themselves."

"A masterclass in modern groove metal..."

Aardschok Magazine

"With their debut album 'This World Is Dying', Arising Rebellion delivers a masterclass in modern groove metal. Sharp riffing combined with an uncompromising rhythm section. A release that demands attention from the scene."

"Flowing, melodic, and devastatingly heavy..."

RockTribune

"No straightforward thrash, no generic metalcore... but in the case of Arising Rebellion, that doesn't matter at all. I was absolutely blown away from the very first listen. The seven tracks on 'This World Is Dying' are poured over you seamlessly—fluid, melodic, and devastatingly heavy."

November/December Issue

"Accessible yet dark groove metal built around heavy breakdown-grooves."

Metal From NL

"After a sinister and dark acoustic intro, 'Revenant' sets the tone with a thick, breakdown-like headbang groove. The band carries this vibe perfectly into tracks like 'Masochist'—which features a delicious ultra-low breakdown as the icing on the cake—and 'Left Unspoken', where a catchy lead riff makes the song incredibly memorable."

"The crowd was there early to watch Arising Rebellion pound away..."

@ Hemelvaartse HERRIE 

"Opening the second day of the completely sold-out HERRIE Metalfest at HAL25, the Zaanse formatie wasted absolutely no time. The crowd gathered early to witness their crushing live-energy and synchronous headbanging on stage."

@ RebellionFest

"Celebrating the launch of 'This World Is Dying', the Zaanse locals of Arising Rebellion threw an absolute party. This venue, with its authentic DIY character, has turned into a serious hotspot for metal. The band presented their long-awaited album to a packed house, proving they own their home turf."

"An incredibly tight and professional debut show..."

Metal From NL
@ NH MetalFest

"This band draws inspiration from Lamb of God and they've certainly inherited that band's stage presence. The entire set was a long lesson in 'how to headbang on stage while looking good'. Although this was their debut show, you couldn't tell from the performance. It was incredibly tight and professional, with pounding riffs and a thick groove."
