DIABOLOS RISING

Diabolos Rising was an industrial rock / electro project by Mika Luttinen (Impaled Nazarene) and George "Magus Wampyr Daoloth" Zaharopoulos (Necromantia). In 1996, renamed the project in Raism and dissolved it after two publications under the new name.


Band history: Mika Luttinen and Magus Wampyr Daoloth founded in 1994 the project Diabolos Rising. Like their main bands, the project was contracted by French independent label Osmose Productions. On their first release in 666, the band combined Black Metal with Industrial Rock and Electro. The basis of the music was initially formed for a Black Metal typical framework of drums and guitars, which was interspersed with synthesizers and keyboards. As references bands like Ministry and KMFDM were called . The later releases of the band, however, musically had nothing to do with Heavy Metal anymore.

 Guitars were barely audible, instead dominated electronically generated sounds and a drum computer. The album Blood, Vampirism & Sadism was also released as a video, as guest musician is Conrad "Cronos" Lant von Venom to see. After the largely unnoticed in 1996 renaming in Raism were released in the same year on Kron-H, a sub-label of Osmose Productions, an EP and the third album Aesthetic Terrorism. The latter was certified that the sound consisted only of simple "age-old techno, as he certainly like Methodists, a little house, thin punk guitars and nasty screeching vocals". In 1996, the musicians dissolved the project. The Italian band Alien Vampires covered on their 2005 album Evil Generation the title Satanic Propaganda (S.N.T.F. Rising) from the 1996 album Blood, Vampirism & Sadism.
