The Guild of Ages roots extends all the way back to 1989 when the band was named “Caught in the Act”. Through hard work and determination they became one of the most popular bands on the Denver rock scene. Despite being caught up in the grunge movement the band pressed on and were noticed by Bobby Barth of the band “AXE”. Eventually a deal was struck with Empire records and the first release “Relapse of Reason” hit the streets. The result was explosive and put the band on the map. Soon after the follow up “Heat of Emotion” was released on MTM in Germany to critical acclaim. As success grew a boy band with the same name sued the band and so they changed their name to a more catchy “CITA”. This was short lived and years later the band rose again under the name “Guild of Ages”and released three albums under that moniker. The band came to the UK and played live shows like “Firefest” and it became apparent how popular the band was. That brings us into 2017 when the band recorded 12 new songs which are featured here on the album “Rise”. This brand new recording is such a breath of fresh air and they combine modern production techniques with good old fashioned Melodic Rock. Guild of Ages have returned with a bang, this is one album you should play right now; such a masterpiece of melodic rock.
