Rising

Rainbow

Six tracks of high-fantasy hard rock defined by operatic vocals and thunderous drumming. The definitive blueprint for power metal and neo-classical shred.

The absolute peak of 70s wizard-rock with the best drum intro in history.

A soaring, mythic intensity that balances dark mystery with triumphant light.
