09-04-2009	Hello everyone, been a while, but we have been busy playing some seriously nice gigs. We did a gig in Hardenberg at the Podium which was very nice, and our last gig in Sevenum, OJC Walhalla was a blast! Good atmosphere, good supports and lots of booze made this an evening to remember! Thanks Sevenum! Untill next time, check out our gigs page for more info!
21-02-2009	Hi all! Update on the Priest front, we are up and running again. New guitarist Remco has fitted in very well and the new gigs are pouring in once again. Check out the gigs page for more info!
19-10-2008	Hey folks, Just a quick update, we did a nice gig last saturday at Katwijk, not too busy, but it was fun. New gig announced at the Gigs page, details will follow.
22-08-2008	Hello all, It's been too long since an update! It's been a little quiet in the Rising camp, a little bit too guiet. Currently we are busy to figure out a way to be able to play more gigs, because that's what we are doing it for! At least one new gig is announced, check it out at the gigs page!
06-04-2008	Hello boys and girls! Some news to be announced! We finally have a new guitarist, Remco is his name! Remco has been known by some guys in the band for a couple of years, he attented the Rock Academy with Tom some years back and also plays with Ralph and Tom in Judas Triest & de manne van de leesmap. An old-school Priest fan and a seriously good guitarplayer, so watch his space on stage! Furthermore I have added some new pictures, check them out at the Photo page. Also, some links and profiles have been updated, so please check them out. We are currently busy with arranging some new gigs this year, watch this site for more news. See you on stage!
14-02-2008	Hi everyone, We played an awesome gig back in January in the 013. It was totally packed and we enjoyed playing our "hometown" (well, mine at least hahaha!). Once again there are some changes going on in the band, as we are still searching for a guitarist that will permanently fill Erwin's place in the band. Auditions are planned, so we hope to introduce you to the new guitarist soon. As it was with the last couple of gigs, Mark Bogert will play with us in the meantime which he does absolutely great! Next gig: 7/3 D'n Binger, Meijel... be sure to be there to enjoy a full Priest experience!
18-01-2008	IMPORTANT NOTICE!! The 013 show tonight will start earlier than mentioned on the 013 site! Showtime Judas Rising: 19:15 - 20:00!!
03-01-2008	First of all: Happy New Year to all of you headbangers! It's been a while since an update, but the band hasn't been silent at all! We played a load of brilliant gigs, at Assen with Action in DC, in Ham with our mates Up the Irons, in Baarlo with Megaseth and in Geleen with Up the Irons, Fan Halen and Ozzy Ozz... what a great year! Last year was the first full year that we worked with our booking agency Tributeband.nl, and what can we say, it's been a great company to work with, with the best support from Mario, Sander and Anjonet. We hope to continue this relationship for the years to come! As you guys may have noticed, the show at Ham was our last show with guitarist Erwin van Egmond. Unfortunately the distance he had to travel to get to rehearsals and gigs became a big problem for him as he lived way up in Noord-Holland, which is quite some way off from us, as we are based in Tilburg. We were very sad to lose such a great guitarplayer and a great guy as well, but for the sake of the band we had to make this decision. We hope that we'll meet with Erwin again someday, on or off-stage! Currently Mark Bogert (graduated conservatory guitarist and my ex-partner in crime from Mythlorian) is filling in the spot that Erwin left empy. Mark did two gigs with us, the first one at Baarlo and his second one at Geleen, which was a blast. It is great to have such a great guitarplayer on board! Please check out our media section, as user EdHunter6666 uploaded almost all tracks from our Assen show! It's all there in Youtube Embedded Video for you to check out! We hope to see you all at our 013 gig, for which we have something special planned... come check it out. Until then... THE PRIEST IS BACK!!!
03-09-2007	Judas Rising @ 013! Judas Rising will be playing one of the biggest clubs in Holland next year, which will be the "Grote Zaal" at 013, Tilburg. Capacity of 2500, which we hope to sell out completely which shouldn't be much of a problem since we'll be playing a Monsters of Rock with two other number one tributes, namely Action in DC and Up the Irons!! This is going to be a hell of party, so be sure to reserve your tickets in advance!
