Rising is the 2nd heavy metal album by Rainbow, released in 1976 With founder Ritchie Blackmore retaining only Ronnie James Dio from the previous album, Rising has become known as the best album of Rainbow's career. Rising is characterized by its heavy guitar riffs and the keyboard skills of Tony Carey, together with the powerful drumming of Cozy Powell. Recorded in Munich in less than a month, the album has surprisingly few overdubs and was overseen by famous Deep Purple engineer and rock producer Martin Birch.
