It was formed in the late 1980s and originally made to sell live releases by Napalm Death and S.O.B., but by 1991 had changed to cater to [[doom metal|doom]] and [[sludge metal]]. Rise Above releases were getting [[United States|US]] distribution from the mid-90s to 2004 by [[The Music Cartel]]. As of 2005, they are currently getting distribution by [[Candlelight Records]]. [[JVC Victor]] were their [[Japan]]ese distributors until 2007 when [[Leaf Hound Records]] began distributing the Japanese versions of Rise Above releases. In 2005, Rise Above announced a 7" & split series for their bands. So far there have been seven releases in this matter. In 2006, Rise Above announced a sub-branch called Rise Above Relics, catering rare, vintage 70s releases. There have been three releases on this sub-label. == Artists == Current Artists as of 2006-2007: * [[Capricorns (band)|Capricorns]] * [[Circulus]] * [[Debris Inc.]] * [[Electric Wizard]] * [[Firebird (band)|Firebird]] * [[Gentlemans Pistols]] * [[Grand Magus]] * [[Litmus (band)|Litmus]] * [[Orange Goblin]] * [[Pod People (band)|Pod People]] * [[Sheavy|sHEAVY]] * [[Taint (band)|Taint]] * [[Teeth of Lions Rule the Divine]] * [[Unearthly Trance (band)|Unearthly Trance]] * [[Witchcraft (band)|Witchcraft]] * [[Winters (band)|Winters]] Former/One-offs/etc.: * [[Bottom (band)|Bottom]] * [[Cathedral (band)|Cathedral]] * [[Chrome Hoof]] * [[Goatsnake]] * [[Hangnail]] * [[The Last Drop (band)|Last Drop, The]] * [[Leaf Hound]] * [[Long Cold Stare]] * [[Mourn]] * [[Napalm Death]] * [[Naevus]] * [[Pentagram (band)|Pentagram]] * [[Penance]] * [[Revelation]] * [[Sally (band)|Sally]] * [[Sea of Green]] * [[Shallow (band)|Shallow]] * [[Sleep (band)|Sleep]] * [[S.O.B.
