No Clean Singing

Video Premiere

The sound of the song (End My Night) is vast and earthshaking, and it’s beautiful but intensely heartbreaking. The music builds in intensity and panoramic scope as the minutes pass, climbing toward a crest of emotional power, and as it ascends, its immersive effect becomes overwhelming." Islander - No Clean Singing

Upcoming Metal Releases

"This Chilean doom/death solo project continues to execute at the top of its class: truly emotional metal with powerful vocals and haunting melodies. I really can't get enough of the lead guitar work here." - Ted Nubel

Metal Temple

10/10 Score

"Per Aspera Ad Astra is a stunning album, masterfully created music. RISE TO THE SKY is a band that may just well do that due to his immense talent. There is a haunting depth that stands out throughout this album, and definitely puts you in a mood of longing." - Laura Glover

Metal Epidemic

5/5 Score

"Each and all songs feel like Sergio was taking out his pain of loss and walking the path of healing at the same time. We have lyrics with pure grief but at the same time the presence, through melodies, of a hidden light that leads to the return to life."- Martha Skourteli

Angry Metal Guy

3.5 / 5 Score (very good)

"Per Aspera Ad Astra is classic Rise to the Sky delivering exactly what it’s so good at delivering: affecting, atmospheric, beautiful death-doom metal. Unsurprisingly, it is reminiscent of past releases but takes good steps towards creating its own identity and advancing the Rise to the Sky formula in a good direction. This is thick, heavy, weepy metal perfect for those autumn days we’ll soon be experiencing." -Twelve

GBHBL

10/10 Score

"Per Aspera Ad Astra comes from a grief-stricken place and that is something that resonates throughout. It’s an incredibly expressive and sensitive album but one with heavy death and doom at its core. It just so happens that Rise to the Sky twists melody around those heavier elements with such ease." - Carl "The Disc" Fisher

Metal Temple (2nd review)

10/10 Score

 “Sergio’s vocal style is deep and even menacing but its also both pain filled and cathartic….this guy has the ability to display such a wide range of emotions with a deep, brutal style and his music is all the better for it. As both listened to in one setting or on a piecemeal basis, this album comes together each time without fail.“- Justin Wittenmeier

Broken Tomb Magazine

10/10 Score

"En general, este álbum es uno de los álbumes más brillantes este año, aunque es un álbum ambientador, Rise To The Sky debe ser conocido hoy en día. Con cada tema poderoso e impresionante que cubre el álbum, puedes decir que es muy atmosférico y emocional. Cuando lo escuches en la oscuridad, cierra los ojos y te dará algunas imágenes mientras cada pulso dentro de ti se convierte en uno con el viaje musical sentimental en el que Sergio te ha puesto. Una maldita obra maestra de la música que desearía que todos tuvieran el poder de entender. " - Joshua

9/10 Score

Metal Temple

"Sergio's vocals continue to impress. He gets frighteningly deep on these songs, his voice coming from a physical place but also an intangible emotional anchor as well. The man himself said this album was made in trying times and dedicated to his father who passed away…..his pain, his longing can definitely not only be heard but felt" - Justin "Witty City" Wittenmeier

Funeral Doom Friday

Metal Injection

"What makes Let Me Drown With You so effective is the songwriting. Acoustic guitars and orchestral arrangements make each track an exquisite dirge. Solo contributor Sergio G has crafted a gripping, emotionally palpable atmosphere. You can’t help but be moved by this music." - Grant Skelton

10/10 Score

GBHBL

"This album is stunning. Spelling-binding, heartfelt, emotive and crushingly heavy. Few bands are as good at making you feel as deeply as Rise to the Sky, but even fewer are as capable of making your neck ache at the same time." Carl 'The Disc' Fisher -

9.9/10 Score

Metal Bite

"This record is majestic sorrow. A draining, yet great experience from start to finish. In my personal experience, loss can bring forth a torrent of emotions and ideas, but for musicians it can be an ordeal to put everything together to write music.." Alex Grindo

3/5 score

Angry Metal Guy

"Make no mistake, this is a strong album for gloomy days, for times when you want to be crushed by sadness that moves faster than glaciers." - Twelve

Album Review

The Killchain Blog

"Rise to the Sky have crafted one of the year’s most essential albums if you have a need for poignant misery. ‘Let Me Drown With You’ is powerful, moving and excellently written. Superb." Sandre the Giant

Album Review

Head Banger Reviews

"Rise to the Sky is slowly becoming a need-to-know name that can very well become the name to know when it comes to Chilean, or even South American as a whole, death/doom." Vinterd

Album review

Sleeping Village Reviews

"I can comfortably say that this is one of the best death-doom albums I've heard in a very long time. It's moody, and dense, and emotional, and remarkably intense"

About Rise to the Sky

One-Man Doom Metal

I want to deliver emotional, strong, and honest Doom Metal. Everything I do points in the direction of improving the quality of the music, this is my number one priority and I intend to do every possible effort to accomplish that.

Rise to the Sky plays mainly Atmospheric/Death Doom metal, although the sound has evolved with each album or release.
