Rising Pulse Records

Rising Pulse Records was formed in May 2008 by Brooklyn-born musician John William LaMacchia. LaMacchia began playing in local Brooklyn bands in the late 80's into the early 90's which eventually led him to Brooklyn’s “urban fusionists,” Candiria. The band has since shared the stage with underground legends Bad Brains, Neurosis, Voivod, The Misfits, Poison The Well, Lamb Of God, Clutch, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Isis, King Diamond, Merciful Fate, and countless others. After a brief departure from Candiria due to differences in musical direction, LaMacchia formed Spylacopa, an underground post prog/experimental studio project with of The Dillinger Escape Plan, Isis, and Made out of Babies.

In late 2007, LaMacchia was scouting for a record label to release Spylacopa’s Debut EP. One record company that had an initial interest in releasing the record had asked him if he would consider starting his own record company. After extensive discussions regarding the record company financing the label, the deal fell through. Frustrated and now tantalized by the idea of owning a label, he decided it was something that had to happen and Rising Pulse Records was formed. With the focus on high quality, carefully crafted design and packaging multicolored, deluxe vinyl. Uniquely packaged CD's and DVD's, Rising Pulse Records delivers the finest quality music products the way they were meant to be experienced.
