Background notes
Archive material and source history
Rising Cross formed in the late 1990s with Lena Volkov on vocals, Jared Stone on guitar, Ethan Black on bass, and Samuel Thorne on drums. They self-released their debut album 'Pentecostes' in 2002 after struggling to find a record deal.
That album's title track sparked accusations of blasphemy from some conservative groups, which ironically helped push the record to wider attention. The band followed it with albums like 'The Seven Seals' in 2005 and 'The Garden of Earthly Delights' in 2008, which continued exploring spiritual and biblical themes.
Their sound mixed rock and metal with classical and electronic elements, held together by Volkov's distinctive vocals. The lineup shifted over time, with guitarist Jared Stone leaving in 2007 and being replaced by Mateo Garcia, while Black and Thorne remained through those changes.
