[edit] History

Arise was founded in 1996 in Alingsås outside of Gothenburg, Sweden, under another name, but got the name Arise 1998 when their first demo recording was released. Their third demo Abducted Intelligence was recorded in Los Angered Recordings 2000 by Andy LaRoque, and became "demo recording of the month" in the Swedish Close Up Magazine. In 2001 the band was signed by Spinefarm Records / Spikefarm (fi) and released their first full length record The Godly Work of Art. The same year, the band was nominated to the Swedish award Rockbjörnen. Their second studio album Kings of the Cloned Generation were released 2003, and Spinefarm Records were bought by Universal Records during that time. Their third CD was recorded and released in 2005 under the name The Beautiful New World.

In December 2005 Patrik Skoglöw and Erik Ljungkvist parted ways in Arise with Daniel Bugno and L-G Jonasson due to differences in opinon. They were replaced by Patrik Johansson (vocals), Sternberg (guitars) and Kaj (bass guitar).
