Far from doing it for the money, fame, sex or drugs, for Rizen it’s all about the rock and roll. As a result, every song and set is pumped with a hair-raising amount of energy and charisma, with a bit of fun thrown in. 

​

Citing a wide range of influences from the likes of Whitesnake, Def Leppard, Mötley Crue, and Royal Blood, Rizen recorded 'Ex Cinere' at Tonesphere Studios, with producer and good friend Chris Threlfall.

​

The release of their debut album ‘Ex Cinere’ in June 2023 was received well across the board, helping open a wide range of doors for the band including festival appearances at both ends of the rock spectrum - from Pilton Party (Glastonbury) to Bloodstock Open Air. The recent release of the single 'M.I.K.I.A.' has seen a rapturous reception, especially as a closer to their live sets showing that Rizen have much more to come. The quintet of Adrian, Brian, Chris, Josh and Mikey are blasting their way through the UK rock scene, showing the rest of the world what they're all about whilst having a damn good time doing so.

 

Rock on!
