Exhuming cadavers from their graves, undead corpses rise through acts of necromancy...
RAISING THE DEAD - consisting of the duo; Asbestoss Greg Vorhees (Breed Of Dawn) and Postmortem Matt (ex- Demise) formed in 2004, with the idea to created a band with a different feel to that of other bands around them.
The band began writting and recording demos of tracks which would later become TALES FROM THE CRYPT.
Instead of following current trends, Raising The Dead decided to stay true to themselves - no songs of heartbreak instead creating songs inspired by horror movies, personal horrors and coming to terms with the fact that there is a psychopath that lives inside all of us.

Determined not to be held back through the lack of a drummer RTD first took to the stage in mid '05, enlisting close personal friend of Skuld (from off-beat tech metal band In-Obsidian) on bass duties.
In Late '05 Twitch Abusement (ex-Evil Twin,ex-Cellar Door) was recruited on bass duties, and soon after the band started work on a new tune titled "Carving Kill In Pumpkins". The track is set to be featured on the compilation "Welcome to Creepsville", which is showcasing a large collection of horror-inspired bands from all over the world!

TALES FROM THE CRYPT is RTD's first independant release. Recorded in 2004-2005 @ RTD Studios, the album consists of 10 Un-dead tracks - including, FIEND, ALONE, XIII, and the un-nerving CAMP CADAVER.

RTD are now currently in the studio working on their second studio album "PUTTING THE FUN IN FUNERAL" which is set for release late 2006. Track titles include.......CORPSE MILITIA, CARVING KILL IN PUMPKINS and TRIGGER HAPPY.
It is hard to pin point which bands Raising The Dead could be likened to, at the end of the day their sound is truly unique.
