On The Rise - The hottest melodic rock act from Norway

NEW YORK (www.ontherise.info) - Hailing from Bergen, Norway, ON THE RISE is the ultimate melodic rock act formed Terje Eide (lead & background vocals, guitars).

ON THE RISE are playing melodic rock. In rockmagazines and on the internet the music are described as soaring and immediately hummable melodies, brilliant and catchy choruses, in your face guitars and musicianship par excellence...
All the elements of a great song come together magically in its tracks.

Terje first captured the public ear at age 16, as singer, guitarist and songwriter. His musical career began in earnest a year later, through winning a local talent contest. He later enjoyed a stint with the band Heaven & Hell, a rock institution in Bergen in the 80s.
In 1986 he won the Norwegian National Rock Championship on national TV with the band The Heat. He started his own band a few years later.

Terje has spent several years exploring various musical genres, as well as playing with local artists as a guitarist, singer and backup singer. This capacity landed him a variety of large-scale shows and concerts, backing acclaimed Norwegian artists.
Terje went back to his roots of melodic rock in 2000 by starting a project who later on became ON THE RISE. A demo was made in early 2001 which immediately raised the interest of Frontiers Records s.r.l, who signed the project in June 2002.

Together with producer/engineer Eirik Gronner, co-lead vocalist Bennech Lyngboe and backed by such musicians as Zsolt Meszaros (Drums) ; Jan Martin Kleveland (Bass) ; Asbjorn Vie (Keyboards) plus Roy Bjorge (Additional Keyboards), several rockmagazines writes that ON THE RISE has created the melodic rock ultimate debut album, boasting influences from the likes of Toto, Nelson and Boston with elements of the typical Skandinavian melodic rock.
