Shallow Rising, the newest project of former Lamb of God drummer Chris Adler, have released their debut music video for the song “Remorse Code.”
Watch the official video of “Remorse Code” on YouTube:
Shallow Rising features drummer Chris Adler, vocalist Alex Villarreal, guitarist Tim Ossenfort, bassist Taylor Brandt, and keyboardist Tim King. The band came to life when Ossenfort started making demos with Chris Adler, who have known each other for quite a while. The duo soon recruited the other members to proceed to recording with full force.

During a recent interview with Shawn SixX on “The Liquid Conversations,” Adler discussed the origins of Shallow Rising:
“Well, it’s been an interesting process to not only remove myself from those bands that I felt were amazing and I loved everything about doing them, but it was, in the end, pretty unhealthy. So getting myself out of that, and I had this really strange random opportunity to do a project in Nashville, just like as a session player. And so I go there, as most guys do as session players, you just show up and do what you’re supposed to do. And I met Tim Ossenfort, and he and I just got along, like, we just vibed correct. There was something about the wavelengths of friendship that made sense, and we’ve kept in touch since.
“He reached out to me and said, ‘Hey, I got this thing going on with a bunch of dudes, and I’d love to have you involved. Let’s go to L.A. and record some drums.’ So I go to L.A., and in my mind, it’s like, ‘Well, clearly they want death metal drums. I guess that’s what I’m supposed to be doing.’ So I go there, and he’s playing me the tracks, and I go in and record ’em, and then we get to, like, song three, and I’m, like, ‘This is not really death metal.’ This is like—I don’t want to call it ‘friendly,’ but it’s a different animal than what I thought I was hired to do.
“So we kind of changed, or at least in my mind, changed the perspective and just talked about it for a good while and kind of made it into something that I think is wildly different than what I’ve ever done and really special. It is something that has a lot of heart … It has all the elements of all that we love about metal, but it also really carries, like, a positive message and a lot of love, which is something clearly I’ve been missing for a long time. So it’s been a real pleasure to not only find the friendship with Tim, but to do something a little bit outside of what is expected.”
