Arising Empire

Arising Empire is a German record label founded in 2015, working mainly across heavy music. The catalogue here points to the kind of ground it covers: metalcore, hardcore, punk-leaning rock and newer crossover bands, with releases from acts including Resolve, Lionheart, Half Me and Our Hollow, Our Home.

What stands out is the label's broad view of the scene. Alongside established names, Arising Empire has also put out records by newer bands such as Revnoir, AVRALIZE and Hopsydian, giving the roster a present-tense feel rather than a museum-piece idea of heavy music.
