Possessed with an earth shaking heaviness and alarming "no frills" punk urgency, Belgium's Rise And Fall are the next chapter of true hardcore/punk greatness. Rise And Fall sharpened their teeth with their debut album, "Hellmouth" in 2004 (SA Mob/JTTP). "Hellmouth" showed a raw ferocity that few bands hold. Capturing the attention of many, Rise And Fall soon after found themselves on tour with Converge, The Great Deceiver, and others in Europe. After that landmark tour, Rise And Fall shed members only to evolve into a revamped, recharged musical monster. After months of grueling work with the new lineup, Rise And Fall released their "Into Oblivion" album in 2005 (Deathwish/Reflections). Recorded at CCR Studios and later mixed by Kurt Ballou (Converge) at Godcity Studios, "Into Oblivion" captured the kind of emotional darkness and white knuckle violence that few bands ever artistically achieve. "Into Oblivion" was praised by aggressive music connoisseurs worldwide, propelling Rise And Fall to the forefront of the hardcore community. The band followed the release with their "Clawing" 7"EP in 2007, a release also held in high regard by the fledging hardcore masses..
