"Album Review"

“‘All Rise’ is a strong four song EP and be on the look out for High Council to receive some attention from the hard rock scene. However, they incorporate so many influences and styles that they should appeal to many different genres of fans. From classic rock to instrumental to 80’s metal, High Council has it all and they have what it takes to make people from all genres rise.” - Crave Magazine - July 2005


"Album Review #2"

“It all results in neoclassical hard rock / metal, experimental in its own sense and original… Normally EPs don't say much about a band, but this isn't the case with All Rise. The aftertaste is quite good and I'd like to taste a little more.” - Maelstrom Ezine - October 2005


Discography

All Rise: March 2005 release. This four song EP showcases the spectrum of High Council’s talents, ranging from heavy, riff based thrashing to slow, melodic flute passages. A stern ruling to kick off the career of High Council.

Bio

The High Council is a four piece band from the Philadelphia area. Drawing from such diverse influences as Iron Maiden, Radiohead, the Beatles, and the Nintendo Entertainment System, High Council has blended several styles into a unique blend of video game fueled Neo-Classic rock metal. Longtime collegues Lou Di Domenico and Bob Saunders began writing material in 2003 following the breakup of their previous band. In early 2004 the duo was invigorated by the arrival of guitarist Steve Donahue, and completed several months later by bassist Brad Thron. In March of 2005 High Council released their debut EP All Rise, and spent the remainder of the year rocking the Philadelphia and New York City areas in support. Since that time, High Council has experienced some personel changes in the bass position, playing several shows with Chromelodeon's Denny Barron before settling on new permanent bass man Chris Haring. With all four seats on the Council once again filled, the band looks forward to its most productive year yet.
