Overview
Released Upon The Earth is the fourth studio album by the thrash metal band Vengeance Rising, originally released in 1992. Known for their aggressive sound and Christian-themed lyrics, the band, led by founder Roger Martinez, brought forth a raw and intense energy on this album. At the time, the only official members of the band were Martinez and new drummer Johnny Vasquez, who would later gain prominence with Mortification. The album features a blend of thrash, speed metal, and heavy metal elements, with tracks like Help Me and Released Upon The Earth showcasing the band’s ferocious musical style. Guest vocals from Steve Rowe on Tion add an additional layer of power to the album.
In 2015, Released Upon The Earth was remastered and expanded, breathing new life into the classic thrash sound and offering fans a fresh listening experience. The album's dark themes and intense rhythms continue to resonate with metalheads and fans of aggressive music.
