"The Divine" video:

Vocalist Lei, who oversaw production on the disc, adds, “We tracked some killer stuff with David in Phoenix, and really fine tuned all the details in Denver with Ahrue, and a great team there. Thankfully we’re in a city with some amazing studios, and some amazing World class talent, which allowed us to make a killer record right in our own backyard.”

Introduced to Ellefson via their management, THC Music’s Thom Hazaert, who now runs Ellefson’s EMP label, the pairing almost immediately spawned a great working relationship.

Says Ellefson. "When I first started working with Arise in Chaos on this record, the first song we worked on was 'The Divine', and I immediately knew there was something special there, and through that process we’re so excited they ended up on EMP.” He adds, “Now listening to the final product, seeing the video, seeing it all come together, I know these guys are going to make huge waves in the metal community.”
