This page is set up by Jeff Zerin(vocals) of Rise 2 Brutality. About Jeff Zerin: I was born in Elgin, Illinois. Moved to Clearwater, Florida in my tenth grade year of high school. Went to Clearwater High School(class of '93) with the band "CrossBreed", but not knowing that they would make it so big at the time. "You guys are still kick'in ass! Keep up the good work!" I first got into metal when I was in Elementary school. Listening to Slayer, Metallica, Venom, Celtic Frost and Megadeth. I was the first boy in school to get his ear pierced! I'll never forget my first concert my brother Louis took me to. "Ozzy(ultimate sin tour) and Anthrax"!! That's what got me started. By middle school, me and the boys were drink'in, smok'in, camp'in and mosh'n around the camp fire listening to Slayer on the Radio Shack boom box. I auditioned for my band as a late bloomer(2005). I never found my vocals til the age of 29. For having the love of metal all my life, I didn't realize I should be writing and creating it. My hunt has come to an end. I auditioned, I proved, therefore I am! Rise ll Brutality was originaly named "Lethal Injection". Finding out that two other bands carried that name, we changed it. Late 2006 we started our local show playing, trying to take what ever gig can be thrown at us. We are now ready to move on. First album is in the works, bigger shows are to be played and it is time to get out of Florida. If you like what you hear, please contact me at jeffzerin@yahoo.com. For where ever you are, I will see you there.

Jeff's vocal influences: Chris Barnes of Six Feet Under and formerly Cannibal Corpse, Glenn Benton of Deicide and Vital Remains.
