Formed in late 2022, The Rising Fall draws from old-school influences with the likes of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Kate Bush, Iron Maiden and Megadeth, to post 90’s artists such as Deftones, Nine Inch Nails, Evanescence, and Alice in Chains. The Rising Fall writes hook-based melodies that include high powered female vocals, thought-provoking lyrics, driving guitar riffs and solos, and a progressive rhythm section that combines the “old with the new” to make it uniquely their own.

The Rising Fall recently performed and was a featured artist on "WGN TV Chicago 9am News" on 1/9/26 .

In May 2025, they released their 5-song EP “Cycles” which includes  “Breaking the Chain”, "Hell On My Chest", "I Surrender", "Artificial (de)Generation" and "Becoming My Everything". Two more releases "Black Horse" and "if Only" were released late 2025 and will be available on the next EP due out in early 2026.  

In late 2025, The Rising Fall received an endorsement from Soultone cymbals and Juggernaut Promotions Sponsorship. They recently were the Spotlighted artist of the month for March on Front Row Radio.

The Rising Fall has played such notable venues as The Token Lounge (MI) The Forge (IL), Hobart Art Theater (IN), J J Kelleys (IL), Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds (IA), Piere's (IN), Cubby Bear (IL) and Q Bar (IL).  They have opened up for Enuff Z'Nuff, Venom, Inc and performed at the inaugural Punk In the Corn Music Festival.

Individually, members have toured both nationally from the West Coast to the East Coast, to internationally including the UK and South Africa. They have plans to continue recording and touring regionally and expanding nationally in 2026.
