January 06, 2015  •  Leave a Comment
(Lodi, CA) - A Skylit Drive has offically released their newest album Rise: Ascension.  The album is available in stores as well as online and can be streamed in its entirety on:
 
Spotify
 
Offical merchandise exclusive to this release is also available for a limited time: HERE
 
David McKenna of Revolver Magazine gave Rise: Ascension 4/5 stars and said "The result is an oddly satisfying reinterpretation of what was already a solid record." and that "A Skylit Drive even manage to breathe new life into Rise's heavier cuts."
 
Knial Saunders of Substream Magazine gave Rise: Ascension 5/5 stars, saying: "Sonically, it’s evident that these pieces were composed by music virtuoso’s. Which is never more apparent than in closing tracks “Shadows” and “Dreaming In Blue”. The use of instruments not commonly used in this genre, such as cello and piano, help to distinguish these tracks from an instrumental point of view."
 
For the new record, the band enlisted platinum producer Jim Wirt (Incubus, Something Corporate, The Rocket Summer) who worked with the band on the pre-production of Rise. They didn’t simply plug in acoustic guitars and record coffee shop versions of the songs however; they instead re-worked the pieces into standalone compositions featuring piano, cello, bass, and other assorted instruments.
