English version:
Ok, if we should situate the stylistic base in some point, then we say that the root of the sound of this surprising Amarna Sky is the Doom Metal. But, following the example of other bands that has deed of this style a than more evolved in the last years (removing him of the apparent dead end where was found in the beginning of the decade), in Rising Heresy the thing goes beyond than traditionally we wait of the genre.
It celebrated pair of musicians (we are speaking of a national band here), still count with some special participations of weight, made by musicians of renown in the international setting, to knowledge: Karl Sanders and Erol Unala. But it is not then that arise the merits of Deni & Aldo, of course. A precise and detailed instrumental, clean and introspective vocals, beyond a proposal - fortunately - eccentric, constitute the registered trademark here.
The rhythmic and introspective climate of the compositions remits us, as already said, to the Doom. However, such "climate" is the only bond, and the experimentalism reigns during all the album, bringing also strong connection with the Prog. But the ingredients not pairs thereabouts. It would be able to be said that we have here an Avantgard Metal with references Doom/Folk/Ambient/Prog/Epic, more or less in the line in that acts the big Summoning. The difference is that, in Rising Heresy, the (strong) baroque inclinations remit to the Egyptian folklore.
More than inclinations, goes. The old Egyptian culture consists, in fact, in the nucleus of all the thematic inspiration and full spring of the present exotic elements in the sound of the Amarna Sky - fact that generates several deliciously unusual passages. A big revelation of the Brazilian setting!

Portuguese version:
Ok, se temos que situar a base estilística em algum ponto, então digamos que a raiz do som deste surpreendente Amarna Sky é o Doom Metal. Mas, a exemplo de outras bandas que tem feito deste estilo um dos que mais evoluíram no últimos anos (tirando-o do aparente beco sem saída onde se encontrava no início da década), em Rising Heresy a coisa vai além do que tradicionalmente se espera do gênero.
A festejada dupla de músicos (estamos falando de uma banda nacional aqui), ainda conta com algumas participações especiais de peso, feitas por músicos de renome no cenário internacional, a saber: Karl Sanders e Erol Unala. Mas não é daí que surgem os méritos de Deni & Aldo, claro. Um instrumental preciso e detalhado, vocais limpos e introspectivos, além de uma proposta - felizmente - excêntrica, constituem a marca registrada por aqui.
O clima introspectivo e cadenciado das composições nos remete, como já dito, ao Doom. Entretanto, tal "clima" é o único vínculo, e o experimentalismo impera ao longo de todo o play, trazendo também forte conexão com o Prog. Mas os ingredientes não param por aí. Poderia-se dizer que temos aqui um Avantgard Metal com referências Doom/Folk/Ambient/Prog/Epic, mais ou menos na linha em que atua o grande Summoning. A diferença é que, em Rising Heresy, as (fortes) inclinações barrocas remetem ao folclore egípcio.
Mais que inclinações, vai. A cultura egípcia antiga consiste, na verdade, no núcleo de toda a inspiração temática e fonte plena dos elementos exóticos presentes no som do Amarna Sky - fato que gera várias passagens deliciosamente inusitadas. Uma grande revelação do cenário tupiniquim!

Review na Rock Underground Magazine
English Version:
This yes, we´re be able to say that is a pharaonic band! Egyptian metal! Slow Doom Metal with mummy grooves! And made in Brazil, with worthy production of first world and compositions idem! Of all the bands that I heard until today that portray the Egypt, inside Metal and Dark, Amarna Sky perhaps be the one that portrays it more faithfully. Devastating as the sands of the Sahara Desert, claustrophobiating as be prisoner inside a pyramid, frightening as a mummy leaving a sarcophagus! Travels with Rising Heresy reading the book The Secret Egypt by Paul Brunton. Still featuring the specials appearances of Erol Unala (ex-Celtic Frost and Apollyon Sun (band of Tom Gabriel Warrior, mentor of Hellhammer and Celtic Frost)) and Karl Sanders (Nile)! Delight yourself with this unmissable release! 9,0.

Portuguese Version:
Esta sim, podemos dizer que se trata de uma banda faraônica! Metal egípcio! Doom Metal lento, com levadas múmicas! E feito aqui no Brasil, com produção digna de primeiro mundo e composições idem! De todas as bandas que ouvi até hoje que retratem o Egito, dentro do Metal e do Dark, talvez seja essa a que retrate mais fielmente. Devastador que nem as areias do deserto do Saara, claustrofobiante como estar preso dentro de uma pirâmide, assustador quanto uma múmia saindo de um sarcófago! Viaje com Rising Heresy lendo o livro O Egito Secreto de Paul Brunton. Ainda conta com participações especiais de Erol Unala (ex-Celtic Frost e Apollyon Sun (banda de Tom Gabriel Warrior, mentor do Hellhammer e Celtic Frost)) e Karl Sanders (Nile)!

Translation from the Obliveon Magazine review (Germany)
RISING HERESY (53:18 min.)
ANUBIS MUSIC / BRAZIL-IMPORT
This rather obscure twain-project (bandfounder Deni G. Perrioni, ex-Deep Sorrow, does both sing and play the drums, while producer Aldo D’Isep plays guitar, bass, and keys) has „Egyptian Themed Doom Metal“ written on its banner. To be sure, Egyptian influences are not new in (Doom) Metal: Solitude Aeturnus, Nile or Melechesh have been experimenting with Sumerian-Egyptian scales or melodies for quite a while. The instrumentation of the songs sometimes sounds as if John Perez had put his signature to Nile’s more doomy compositions, such as „Sarcophagus“ (listen to „Eclipsed Spirituality“ oder „Genemesis“). Not surprisingly, then, the six-string extravaganza of Nile-mastermind Karl Sanders can be heard on „Beyond the Horizon (Legacy of Light).“ A guest-appearance by Erol Unala (ex-Celtic Frost and -Apollyon Sun) likewise speaks volumes about the band’s influences (titletrack or „Blind Row“). Sometimes the not too easily accessible songs, most often thicker than the Nile, are counterbalanced by belligerent soundscapes („Per Aten“ und „Femininity’s Pride“) which invest „Rising Heresy“ with an almost mystic note. The album’s climax is, without the shadow of a doubt, the relentlessly grooving „Divine Glory,“ a song that highlights the Power Doom-component in the sound of Amarna Sky. Mattias Norén having created the artwork of this nicely produced debut means: no worries here. All this means that Amarna Sky have made a promising impact in the Doom-world as „Rising Heresy“ presents multiple beautiful, atmospherically charged moments for Doomheads. Those interested in the CD and the concept behind „Rising Heresy“ ought to lend an eye to http://www.amarnasky.blogspot.com or http://www.myspace.com/amarnasky

Dagheisha Review (Italy)
Italian Version:
Nemmeno il tempo di reagire allo strabordante ritorno degli Aghora che mi imbatto in questo nuovo progetto brasiliano denominato Amarna Sky. Il doom metal proposto da Deni G. Pierroni si muove con passo lento e inesorabile tra influenze esotiche e l'amore per l'antico Egitto.La suggestiva cover di Mattias Noren e i riferimenti dei testi all'antica città di Akhetaten (adesso conosciuta come Tell-El-Amarna) contribuiscono al crescendo mistico al quale si viene sottoposti entrando nei cupi paesaggi doom della band attraversati di volta in volta da influenze industrial e prog. L'inevitabile accusa di anacronismo che potrebbe essere imputata a 'Rising Heresy' dovrà necessariamente scontrarsi con l'impressionante solidità epico-morale di un gruppo che si avvale di preziose collaborazioni per elevare il tasso tecnico del disco. E' il caso di Erol Unala che ricorderete nei Celtic Frost e negli Apollyon Sun. Suo l'assolo della title track. Considerati i riferimenti alla cultura e alla storia egiziana non poteva poi mancare Karl Sanders dei Nile che illumina con la sua sprezzante foga agonistica 'Beyond The Horizon'. Ignorance is a dark cloud that hides the sun...
English Version:
Not even the time of to react the strabordante I return some Aghora that I bump into myself in this new Brazilian project named Amarna Sky. The doom metal proposed from Deni G.

The evocative cover of Mattias Noren and the references of the texts to the ancient Akhetaten (now known like Tell-El-Amarna) contribute to the growing mystical to which comes submitted entering in the dark landscapes doom of the band go through of time in. The inevitable accusation of anachronism that could be attributed to 'Rising Heresy' to meet itself with it impressing of a group that it is made use of of precious collaborations to raise the technical rate of the disk. And a matter of Erol Unala that you will remember in the Celtic Frost and in the Apollyon Sun. Its the solo of the title track.
