Rise and Fall was a Belgian hardcore punk band from Ghent, formed 2002 by members of The Deal and Kingpin. They were among a few European bands currently signed to American hardcore label Deathwish Inc. Rise and Fall have been influenced by bands such as Black Flag, Converge, Neurosis, Tragedy and Entombed.[citation needed]

History

Early career and Hellmouth (2002–2004)

Formed in 2002 in Ghent, Belgium as a side project of members of The Deal and Kingpin, Rise and Fall eventually became the most important band for all four members as these groups disbanded. Following some lineup changes, the band released their first album Hellmouth, in April 2004. The album was released on CD a few months later by JTTP Records in Germany and on vinyl by Belgian label Anger Management Records. The band then set out on a self-booked European tour in August, and supported 100 Demons on their European tour in October. During these tours the band started writing material for their following album.

Into Oblivion, Our Circle Is Vicious, and Faith (2005–2012)

In March 2005 the drummer departed from the band, stunting the new album's progress. In April 2005, one year after it was originally recorded, "Hellmouth" was released in the United States with bonus tracks on Philadelphia's "SA Mob" record label.

In the meantime, ex-Course of Action drummer and long-time friend Jp joined the band, and together they finished writing the new album.

In July 2005, the band recorded their second full-length "Into Oblivion". The album was recorded in CCR Studios in Zulte, Belgium, engineered by Vincent Tetaert of Amenra and mixed in Boston, MA at Godcity Studio by Kurt Ballou (Converge). American label Deathwish Inc. and European Reflections Records put out the album. Throughout the rest of 2005, Rise and Fall toured throughout Europe.

In 2006, Rise and Fall extended their touring schedule:

  • February 2006: European tour with Doomriders.
  • April 2006: First US tour (east coast) with Blacklisted and Guns Up!
  • Summer 2006: Appearances at independent hardcore summer festivals such as Fluff Fest (to which they returned in 2007 and 2009).
  • October/November 2006: Full European tour with Blacklisted
  • November 2006: European tour with FVK, formerly known as Cro-Mags (Line up: John Josef, Mackie Jayson, Tom Capone and Cache Tolman

Rise and Fall also played major festivals, including Pukkelpop in Hasselt, Belgium and Hellfest Summer Open Air in Clisson, France. In 2006, Rise and Fall recorded a cover of Integrity's song "Kingdom of Hell", which was released on Escapist Records' Various Artists compilation Harder They Fall: Tribute to Integrity in February 2007.[1][2]

2007 marks the year of Rise and Fall turning into a full-time band for its all 4 members. Rise and Fall is on the road 5 out of the first 8 months of the year.

In July 2007, Rise and Fall releases Clawing, a special 3 tracks 7" on Deathwish Inc. in support of a 70 days long tour. The 7", featuring stunning artwork form German artist Florian Bertmer showcases one new song (Clawing), a re-recorded track from "Hellmouth" (Bottom Feeder) and a cover from the band Alice in Chains (Them Bones).

Rise and Fall released their third studio album, Our Circle Is Vicious, and their fourth, Faith, through Deathwish Inc. on 27 October 2009 and 20 March 2012 respectively.
