5. Arise is a Thrash Metal band from Japan
Four guys formed the band in Dec 2005 with genuine 80's thrash metal influence. This band named "Arise" started their gigs in May 2006 after their hyperactive preparation based on "Thrash", which was way beyond "mixture of music" type thing. The band has opened for many bands from many countries and is respected by the people in local music industries. No frills, no fancy stuff. Proud of being minor. Their aggressive attitude tells that. Their 1st demo "It's only THRASH! But I like it!" was released in April 2007. The eye of the loud and heavy music hurricane will invade your town! They have released their debut full length album in 2013, titled Don't Worry Be Happy!. They are still active.
