For Immediate Release
Past/Present Members of Prong, Pigface, Test Dept, and Others Join Forces for Animal Rescue EP
Rise Reign Revolt, an 11-member collaboration between various veterans of the international Industrial/Metal scene, has released a two-song EP, “Vultures,” available on Bandcamp. All profits from the sale of the EP will be divided between PAWS Chicago and Greyhound Trust Harvel in loving support of animals.
Founded by drummer Joel Gausten (Pigface/The Undead) and saxophonist Roger Ebner (Pigface/BILE/EBNR), Rise Reign Revolt was started in 2017, shortly after Gausten met Ebner and most of the other participants as part of Pigface’s 25th anniversary shows in Chicago in 2016. The pandemic halted the project’s progress considerably before it was rejuvenated earlier this year. Ebner served as Rise Reign Revolt’s producer and musical director.
The EP marks the first time former Prong members Ted Parsons (drums) and Troy Gregory (bass) have appeared together on a musical release since the early 1990s. Gregory contributes the “Blue Goblin” remix of the EP’s title track.
