Beginning today and running every Tuesday and Friday through the album's release on August 21st a new Minisode"from the series will be posted until all eight Minisodes have been released. Check out the first one below:

A scorching track from Rise To Power, "Spoiled”, can be heard below.
 
Guitarist Tony Asta spoke about the track: "'Spoiled' kicks in with a heavy rockin old-school vibe and progresses into a brutal more technical feel. It's also a really fun song to jam. The subject matter and lyrics of "Spoiled" were inspired by the dependency on modern technology, more specifically the cyber world. An entire generation thrives from its use but does not know what it was like before the internet existed. It IS a great tool, although the magnitude of its impact on our everyday lives sometimes gives me the chills. This is the only song I had a hand in writing lyrics for and you can thank the "phone-gazing zombies" for it."
