The label, which was founded by Craig Ericson in 1991, is home to The Devil Wears Prada, Of Mice &amp; Men, Memphis May Fire and PVRIS. Under the deal, Rise will continue to operate out of  Portland with Ericson at the helm of the digital-savvy company, but now  the label will have BMG&#8217;s resources for pushing its artists beyond the  U.S., where it currently generates the vast majority of its revenue.   <!--more-->  <\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">&#8220;Rise Records is more than a record label,&#8221; noted Laurent Hubert,  president of creative &amp; marketing at BMG Chrysalis US. &#8220;It is a  cultural phenomenon which has harnessed digital media to create a  genuine community. We are delighted to partner with Craig and his team  to give Rise\u2019s artists access to BMG&#8217;s world-class admin services and  international network.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">The label&#8217;s next release is I Am Alive In Everything I Touch (out May 19) from screamo favorites Silverstein.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Source: Billboard<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BMG has announced the purchase of Oregon-based metal and hard rock label Rise Records.
