Following their highly praised album DEATHRACE, Rising Insane waste no time in delivering a brand-new single celebrating the beauty of the metal community. 'ESCALATION' is a high-energy, fast-paced metalcore track receiving a standalone release, despite originating from the DEATHRACE sessions. 

Rising Insane on the new song:
“‘Escalation’ is an ode to the metal scene—to every fan, promoter, festival, and band that keeps this community alive. The song captures the powerful emotions that rise within us when we come together at concerts and become part of something bigger—a community built on mutual respect, tolerance, and togetherness, where, for a moment, we are one big family.
 
"It celebrates that moment when we lose ourselves and go wild together. When anger transforms into energy, loneliness turns into connection, and we surrender to the unstoppable current that carries us all forward. 'Escalation' is about that shared release—the raw energy, the unity, and the feeling of belonging that makes the metal scene so unique.”

Since their debut, RISING INSANE have evolved from a fierce independent quintet into a global heavy-hitter, amassing millions of streams across their previous catalogue. Their journey to the top has been defined by elite company, having shared stages with genre icons like Papa Roach, Of Mice & Men, and Stray From the Path, transforming them into an unstoppable live force.

This momentum has now reached a fever pitch with their newest album, DEATHRACE, released August 2026. The record includes the standout track 'Good Enough' (feat. CASKETS), alongside the dark and mature 'Error' (feat. Steven Jones of Bleed From Within). Fans can also look forward to explosive new collaborations on the album with ACCVSED and David Schneider (The Butcher Sisters).

DEATHRACE marks the band’s most radical chapter yet, stripping away polished refinement in favour of raw power and primal riffs. It is a limit-breaking statement that finally pushes their sound to the absolute limit - RISING INSANE have never stood still, but now they are finally flooring it.

Aaron Steineker - Vocals
Sven Polizuk - Guitar
