Vinylheruitgave van vijfde Bad Brains album. Oorspronkelijk uit in 1993 op Epic Records. ‘Rise’ was toen hun debuut op een major. Zonder zanger HR en z’n drummende broer Earl Hudson. Maar de vervangers waren ambitieus… This was a new and refreshing start for the Bad Brains. De reacties toen: As heard on Rise, they are basically a thrash metal band with elements of rap and reggae. In other words, they're fairly trendy. Meanwhile, of course, they're now playing in a bigger league, and their competition includes everyone from Metallica to Public Enemy.
